Enter the Enchanted Cave, collecting artifacts, stat gems and gold as you fight to reach floor 100! Use the Escape Wings to teleport out and recover, then head back in with powerful artifacts to delve deeper into the cave each time. Improvements from the flash game: - User interface completely redone for small touchscreens. - Tap to move where you want to go with smart pathfinding - you won't walk into a monster unless you tap their exact square. - Fast-find an item in your inventory by tapping it when you open a chest. - A "Sell Junk" button in the shop to quickly sell all of your non-artifact, non-potion old equipment. - Damage and Magic formulas simplified and re-balanced (Attack magic is useful now!). - Magic window to allow you quickly cast a spell without opening your inventory. - Potions window to quickly use potions without opening your inventory. - Saving can be anywhere in the cave to be picked up later. Auto saves each floor. - Walk on empty gold bags. - Low-life warning. - New title screen. - Higher stairs contrast. - Faster movement.
