Enjoy this simple, addicting, and reminiscent arcade style game! Tap on the left side of the screen to move left! Tap on the right side of the screen to move right!  Try and traverse through the cave while dodging saws and falling spikes! Each obstacle you pass counts as a point towards your score! Collect power-ups in order to give you an in-game advantage! Collect coins to upgrade your power-ups so they are active for longer durations! The farther you go, the harder it gets! There are four power-ups you can collect: 1. Invincible - You can not die from saws or spikes! Be careful, though, the lava and top spike border can still kill you! 2. Double Points - All points and coins earned are doubled! 3. Magnet - All coins will attract to your player! 4. Shrink - Your player will shrink so traversing the cave is much easier! Log into Game Center to track your high score and compare it with your friends and the rest of the world! Can you reach #1? Icons by Icons8 (https://icons8.com)
