Boulder Dash® Vol. 1

iOS iPhone

The original, award-winning, #1 best-seller: Boulder Dash®, is now available for the first time for your iPhone and iPod touch! Race against time to clear a path and collect the number of diamonds required in order to open the exit in each of the 80 scrolling Caves. Avoid falling boulders and enemies. Be careful not to become trapped. Easy to learn, difficult to master.

Rockford™ returns to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Boulder Dash after sales of millions of units and release 4 times into the coin-operated arcades. The very first game in the Boulder Dash series is available here for the iPhone/iPod touch. All of the original caves, creatures and features are included. Play in ‘retro’ mode with the original movements, speed and graphics; or, enjoy the all new look and animations created specifically for iPhone/iPod touch.
