Introduction This is a super cute dungeon themed coin collecting game. Collect all the coins on a level to finish and move to the next level. There are one hundred hand crafted levels in total for you to explore. Once you complete a level it becomes available in the level selection menu so you can skip back to your favourite levels whenever you like. You can play as one of six different characters, and with three difficulty settings. Watch out for spike traps on certain levels as these can really catch you out. Use the pink vortexes to transport from one location to another, or look out for doors in walls. On levels with more than two vortex or doors, you will randomly come out of a different exit. Pick up swords to give you a short time where you can turn the tables on the enemies and tag them, sending them home and out of the way for several precious seconds. The enemies also avoid you during this time so use the swords wisely. Pulsing shrooms will give you a score bonus for several seconds where you earn double points for any items collected. Occasionally other fruit will appear and these simply give you additional points when collected. When your score hits a multiplier then if you don't already have three lives another one will appear on the map. Pick it up to grant you an additional life. Some levels have ladders and vines. These are like secret passages that only the player can use. Use them to your advantage to stay out of trouble. Controls iOS Just tap the menu buttons to make your selection in the menus.
