Simple controls. Brutal caves. Zero mercy. 30 underground levels — each more devious than the last. Think you can breeze through? Good luck. Features: - Tight d-pad controls built for mobile — tap once for a single step, hold to keep moving - 10 lives stand between you and a fresh start from the top - Race against the clock — your score is all about speed - Boulders and bats have a lot to say about your performance - Stuck on a level? Long-press to skip it — but it'll be waiting for you at the end - Shake to restart (we understand) - Earn a grade from C to S when you clear all 30 levels No diamonds to collect. No power-ups. No hand-holding. Just you, a cave full of problems, and a door somewhere at the end of it. Deep Trouble. A Delulu adventure.
