DARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Temple RUN!!!!!
This is a widely known issue with Android handsets with native landscape displays (N900 for instance). The algorithm is wrong, and requires code modification by the software developers of the game/app themselves. In short, the app "appears" to be portrait landscape-wise, it "thinks" that it is portrait while in fact, the display is visually portrait while the orientation is actually landscape. As a result, the user tends to hold the phone on its side as they normally should, but the controls are still on the landscape layout, so actually holding the phone upright portrait-ly is the position of you holding the phone while leaning to the left landscape-ly.

EDIT: To avoid mind****s, try to play the game, but tilt the device as if you are playing a landscape game. It sux.
EDIT2: I hope this sketch attached clears it:
