A legendary dungeon, filled with treasure and monsters to boot. A reckless hero arrives to strike it rich and steal the loot. With no torch to guide his way through the dark corridors, he heedlessly plunges on: “If I stick to the walls, they should lead the way, right...?” ===How to play=== 1. Rules - Move the fairy guardian with your finger to spawn blocks. - When the hero bumps into a wall or block, he turns right. - Place blocks strategically to guide the hero safely to the treasure. 2. Traps - When you pick up a treasure, a spike trap will appear on that square. - Hitting traps causes the hero to take damage. - If a monster bumps into a trap, both the monster and trap disappear. 3. Magic - Tap the orb at the upper right to unleash your magic spell, destroying all traps in the dungeon. - As the hero picks up treasure, the spell gauge is replenished.
