10,000,000 is today’s Amazon Free App of the Day. It’s a retro-style adventure-platformer from developer EightyEight Games Ltd., it’s rated as appropriate for all ages, and it’s got an average review rating of 4.5/5 stars across over 50 reviews.
In this very unusual hybrid of a Role Playing Game (RPG), an endless run game (like Temple Run) and match 3 games, you must earn 10,000,000 to free your character from a dungeon.
You do so by finding treasure and defeating enemies as you explore and race your way through the maze-like dungeon, using match 3 minigames to defeat opponents who cross your path.
This video trailer should give you a better idea of what this very original game app is like:
