SpelunKing — match-3 mining adventure
In SpelunKing, a level isn’t a single board, but a section of an old mine that’s bigger than the screen. You move through it only by making matches: line up three or more identical tiles, and the view shifts toward that row. That’s what sets it apart from The Lost City Match 3, where every level is a separate puzzle with a move limit.
Your goal in each area is to find grandpa’s missing bag. Inside is something he left behind in the mine years ago. To get back outside, you also need to collect a few treasures — without them, the exit door won’t open. Chains, crates, and ice get in your way, while chests and standalone logic puzzles show up off to the side.
A lantern with limited fuel
While you’re searching for the way out, the lantern runs out of fuel. If it hits zero, you’re left in the dark with no escape. At the top of the screen, you’ll see a combo of icons. Make matches in exactly that order, and the lantern gets a fresh fuel refill.
Town up top
Everything you dig up goes into restoring the old mining town. Tap a building to upgrade it. After you improve the miner’s shop and the alchemist’s workshop, merchants sell new items for your next descents.
