Cave Dash
Cave Dash is a grid-based digging game in the spirit of the boulder-and-gem classics. Every cave is a hand-built puzzle: dirt you can tunnel through, steel rock you cannot, boulders held up by nothing but the ground you are about to remove, and diamonds that only count once you carry them out.
Collect the diamonds the cave asks for and the exit lights up. Reach it before the clock runs out and the seconds you saved turn into bonus points. Dig under a boulder and it drops the moment you step aside, so plan the order of your tunnels: a boulder resting on another boulder will roll off the side, and a stack you disturb early can seal the only way back.
Four caves get progressively meaner, then the run loops with less time on the clock. You have three lives, arrow keys or WASD on desktop, a d-pad or a swipe on phones and tablets, and your best score is saved in your browser. Press P to pause, M to mute.
Tips for Cave Dash
In Cave Dash the ground you dig is often the only thing holding a boulder up. Dig under one and it drops as soon as you step aside, so never stand directly below a boulder you have just freed, and look at what is stacked above before you clear a tunnel. A boulder resting on another boulder rolls off to the side, which can block a passage you still need. Work out the order of your tunnels first and leave your way back to the exit open.
Count the diamonds the cave asks for and collect those before anything else, because the exit only lights up once you have them. Spare seconds on the clock turn into bonus points, but with three lives a careful route is worth more than a fast one. The four caves loop with less time once you finish them, so the routes you learn early pay off on later runs.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cave Dash free to play?
Yes. Cave Dash is free to play in your browser on Kiloo, with nothing to download and no account needed. Your best score is saved in the browser you play in.
Can I play Cave Dash on my phone?
Yes. On phones and tablets you dig with the on-screen d-pad or by swiping. On a computer you use the arrow keys or WASD, with P to pause and M to mute.
How do I open the exit in Cave Dash?
Each cave asks for a set number of diamonds. Once you have collected them, the exit lights up and you can leave. Reach it before the clock runs out, and every second you have left is added as bonus points.
What happens after the fourth cave in Cave Dash?
After the four caves the run loops back to the start with less time on the clock, so each lap is harder than the one before. You have three lives to get as far as you can.
