A little survival guide.
Open guide
Steal 8 eggs.
Make it home.
Outwit a fire-breathing dinosaur, dodge flying dragons and volcanic lava, and bring eight eggs into the cave to reach the next level.
Your first egg
- Approach carefully. Move right toward the dinosaur. Wait for a safe opening or stun it with your axe.
- Wait for the blink. Stand beside the egg until it flashes. That is your signal to collect it.
- Bring it home. Move left to pick up the egg, then carry it all the way back to the cave.
Controls & breaks
On iPhone and iPad: use the left and right controls to move between the cave and the dinosaur. Tap for a single step or hold to keep moving. Press Start to begin and Shoot to throw your stone axe.
On Mac: press A to move left, D to move right, and Enter / Return to start or shoot.
Pause before taking a break. The game also pauses when the app becomes inactive.
App language: on iPhone and iPad, open the app’s settings and choose your preferred language.
Eggs & the cave
Wait for an egg to blink before carrying it away. An egg left beside the dinosaur for about eight seconds hatches into a baby dinosaur and escapes.
The first egg you bring home stays at the cave entrance. Bring a second egg to move the first into the cave for 50 points.
Put eight eggs inside the cave to earn a 200-point bonus and advance to the next level.
Know your enemies
Dinosaur: its head moves at random. Approach while it is breathing fire and you lose a life. Hit it with your axe while it is standing upright to knock it out temporarily, earn 30 points, and make a safer approach.
Dragons: they fly overhead looking for eggs at the cave entrance. Guard an exposed egg by standing at the entrance to prevent a dragon stealing it. Bring a dragon down with a direct axe hit before it crosses the cave entrance to earn 10 points.
Volcano: at higher levels, eruptions send lava into the air. Lava that hits the caveman on the head costs a life. You can safely pass lava that has fallen below head height.
Choose your challenge
Select your skill before starting a game. You start with four cavemen and gain an additional life after every 2,000 points.
