Casual retro space ship & ufo's firing game! Your mission is to patrol an asteroid field and make sure it's free from useless dirt rocks and aliens! Drag your finger to move the ship and tap to fire! If you tap faster, you will shoot two lasers instead of just one, but you won't be able to do this if you get damaged! You can also pilot the ship by tilting your iPhone/iPad. Be careful with valuable golden asteroids and try not to destroy them either by shooting or collision! You can capture them with the tractor beam and earn credits. Some asteroids have hidden UFOs. Once they appear, you need to target them and avoid incoming fire. They get slower as you hit them, but you need more hits as the game progresses. There’s no main menu or splash screen. You tap and just jump right into action. There’s no difficulty settings. It’s easy when you start and harder as you go. There’s no ending or levels. That doesn’t mean you're invincible!

Welcome to Cavern Crawl! Fly a spaceship through a cavern! Avoid obstacles! Avoid enemies! Shoot at the enemies! Collect orbs to gain points! Try to get the high score! Instructions: The ship floats down. Pressing on the screen will make the ship fly up. Your ship will also drain gas, so make sure to fuel up! Pressing the red shoot button will shoot a rocket. You can try to avoid enemies, or shoot at them, but be careful, the rockets will also destroy the orbs. You don't want to shoot the red or yellow ones since they will give you more gas. Collect red orbs to gain a point, but watch out for the purple orbs, they will subtract a point. If you get a yellow orb, you will get 10 points. Red and yellow orbs will also replenish your gas supply. Shooting the enemies will also give you a point. If you collect the orange coin, you will become invincible from enemies for 10 seconds.
