Here you are, looking for something to do. You wish you had some way to spend your time. Hey what's this? A guy in the shadows just waiting for you to tap your screen. Tap, tap, tap again, he's moving up. There he goes. Looking for coins. I'm not sure if this is the best app description, but I am sure that this will be a fun way to pass the time. You could take a screenshot and show your friends how awesome you did. Did they get more coins than you? Why? Can you not do better? Well, I hope you're having a great day! :) Remember, smile, be happy, and enjoy life! :)
