Caveman Runner is back from extinction.
First released in 2011, this little slice of early iPhone gaming returns with its original artwork and personality intact updated for modern devices.
Tap between three lanes, dodge cactus, and grab every steak you can. Spend your steaks wisely: distract the T-rex with BAIT, survive a hit with SHIELD, or charge through cactus with SMASH. SPRINT is free when its cooldown is ready.
A close shave can pay off. Chain near misses to build Primal Focus, earn extra rewards, and keep the chase going. Every steak pushes the T-rex a little farther back. Stop paying attention and you might become lunch.
WHAT'S IN THE REVIVAL
• The original caveman, cactus, dinosaur, title, and credits artwork, carefully preserved.
• Four powers: Sprint, Bait, Shield, and Smash.
• New dust, impacts, chase effects, sound, and haptic feedback on supported iPhones.
• Game Center leaderboards and achievements for your best runs.
• Responsive layouts for compact screens and the expanded iPhone Duo display.
• Local best scores, quick retries, and tap-to-resume after interruptions.
• Sound, haptics, and Reduce Motion settings.
No ads. No in-app purchases. No separate game account required. Core gameplay works offline; Game Center features require an internet connection and Game Center sign-in.
One more steak. One more run.
Big update from the cave!
• Cacti now bonk you instead of ending your run. Only the T-rex can eat you.
• Smoother running, with new jump, landing and starting animations
• New lane hazards: bones, logs, tar pits and loose gravel, plus the odd tumbleweed
• A cactus gauntlet to weave through
• Primal Focus, Smash and Shield retuned
• A marker in the sand where your best run ended
• New results screen and 100 new caveman lines
• Pause button, thumb-drag steering, and a smoother first run
