It is hard to search for though since I always forget the name! ### 4/5 — SFCave *2013-11-25, version 1.1.2* It's a fun game, but the pop up ads are really annoying. I also don't like the pink blurred dots when you get out of bounds.. In my opinion, it should be a different design. Overall, it's a good game (: ### 5/5 — I like this app *2013-11-24, version 1.1.2* It is very addicting and good if u r bored . ### 5/5 — copying? *2013-09-15, version 1.1.2* i saw a nother dame like this one ### 5/5 — Actually I take that back *2013-08-21, version 1.1.2* Good but a little hard ### 5/5 — I love the game!! *2013-08-05, version 1.1.2* This game is the best!!! ### 5/5 — 5 star *2013-07-24, version 1.1.2* I love this game. But it seems like its just the same as copter from Blacberrys The only difference is that copter uses helicopters and this game has more levels. But I really enjoyed this game. I don't know why nobody else does. ### 4/5 — Cool *2013-07-24, version 1.1.2* Weird how its a ribbon. ### 4/5 — Stupid popup ad *2013-07-16, version 1.1.2* Don't like that ### 4/5 — Awesome *2013-05-12, version 1.1.1* I love this addicting game but have 1 problem. There are SO many games like this and we need no more. So 4 stars hands down ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2013-03-31, version 1.1.1* I think this game is so addicting and fun!😝 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — An all-time fave ruined by ads *2018-03-24, version 1.2.1* I've been playing this game since the 90s, and on a mobile device for almost a decade. This app used to be great, now it is just a bloated vehicle for crappy advertisements. ### 1/5 — HATE IT *2012-02-21, version 1.1.1* This is a awful game it gets on my nerves yet it is addicting ### 1/5 — um *2011-06-12, version 1.1.0* sloppy!! make it look cool instead of plain nerd ### 2/5 — Pop-up ads in an app? *2014-02-09, version 1.1.2* A totally faithful conversion of a java applet procrastinators of a certain age need no introduction to, but the presentation unfortunately makes this almost unplayable. Pop-up ads are sudden, video-intensive and sometimes freeze the app. High scores open in Safari (with more ads), and there's no Game Center integration for scorekeeping and friend ranking. Glad sfcave is still around, but it deserves better. ### 2/5 — Ehhhh... *2011-12-30, version 1.1.1* It is ok. Not as fun as I thought. I make the following faces when I play:  ### 2/5 — OMG *2011-11-04, version 1.1.1* Dear to whoever made this app, Its to challenging, hard, and confusing. If you could change it to have levels and a Easy setting, that would be nice. Anyone else may seem to like it and it is fine but levels and Easy can help it, am i right? Yours Truly, ? ### 3/5 — Very true to the original but with a few issues *2014-03-09, version 1.1.2* I like how the gameplay is very true to the original but it's annoying how it doesn't show my high score and the ads are a bit much. ### 3/5 — Love it but... *2013-07-16, version 1.1.2* You need to make the update for iphone 5 come on i love this game! If you do this its 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Review *2013-05-22, version 1.1.1* It is kind of hard.and not the best.But it has awesome music!😋 ### 3/5 — IPad *2012-07-22, version 1.1.1* Please make this game for the iPad!! :) for now it is only worth 3 stars because of that!! 😉 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A classic with some new ideas *2025-07-24, version 1.2.1* An elegant game, for a more civilized age. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-18, version 1.2.1* Got this app when I was young and looking for phone games. Now I’m an adult and every once in a while I’m in a situation where I need to kill some time with no service. It’s refreshing to have something that doesn’t need service and just feels classic. It doesn’t beg you to play for hours and consume your life. It just kinda reminds me of the good times I used to have on the internet watching funny videos on YouTube with friends or trying to find the next song that would impress my friends. I forget it’s on my phone all the time but I’ve carried it with me for years. Anyway, it’s well worth a download. ### 5/5 — Just realized this was working again! *2024-02-04, version 1.2.1* Had this game since owning a Palm device in the early 2000s. LOVE THIS GAME. Its a permanent game on my phone. ### 5/5 — one of the best games ever made *2023-02-01, version 1.2.1* been playing this since it was on palmos in monochrome, one of the first apps i downloaded on my ipod touch gen 1, and still as good today in 2023. play this long enough and you will attain enlightenment. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-07-04, version 1.2.1* I remember playing this on my old palm m100. I still play it even today on a old Sony clie. Glad I found this here. ### 5/5 — Simple and fun *2018-09-21, version 1.2.1* This is my favorite iphone game. Simple yet addictive, and controls very well. Only bad thing is the ads, but it’s not a big deal. Download this game! ### 5/5 — Excellent Retro Cave Game *2017-08-25, version 1.2.1* Catchy Music, simple art design, controls are perfect. The addition of 3D mode is nice to play at times. I love the janky hitboxes that allow the death animation to begin when you cut a corner super close. There is nothing groundbreaking about this game, but it's a great homage back to simpler times. It's a fun time killer now and again. ### 5/5 — Flashback to ONE MILLION B.P.* *2016-10-26, version 1.2.1* *Before Pixels Great game! Definitely feels like the touch control gives me better stability over the original incarnation of this game that was controlled by either a timed mouse click or space bar seizure. 😏 ### 5/5 — SFCave App First Impression *2016-03-16, version 1.2.1* SUPER FUN AND ADDICTING🙏 ### 5/5 — :] *2015-02-21, version 1.2.0* Cool --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
