A cave legend is a game in which a brave man jumps in a cave and flies, avoiding many obstacles and arriving at the finish line in the shortest time possible. The method to play this game is the following: 1. Tap the screen to disconnect the rope. 2. Tap again to connect the rope to the set point by tilting the device in the right or left direction. 3. If the person is below half the height of the device, tap the screen and the person jumps up. 4.
