A new spin on the Blade Dodger series! In this game, you launch Spiff through a series of puzzles to collect as much gold as possible while dodging a number of bouncing blades. Play-now mode starts with easy levels to teach the basics and traverses through progressively more challenging levels. Two different types of random game play are included! - Random and Blackout. Random provides a generated level with a random number of blades and randomly placed gold. Blackout plays similarly to Random, except only a few blocks away from Spiff are visible - but points are worth triple! All victories can be saved to your phone to replay later - and now all replays can be shared with friends. Completing levels earns points, which can be spent in the store to unlock themes, launch speed increases, and shields.
