You may have heard of a company called RetroBomb, they helped bring the Expendable Rearmed to Android. Well some of the folks from RetroBomb have been working on a side-project is called Canyon Capers which was published by KISS Limited onto Google Play today. This game has actually been on Steam for a bit now, garnering 250,000+ copies being shipped on Steam so far.
Canyon Capers is, in fact, a platformer that was originally released back in 1992. The original authors (CrazyMoo) of that game have been part of the development of this new version for mobile devices. Canyon Capers features Dino Jr. and his friends as they search ancient ruins in different historical sights in order to find the Golden Mollusk, which happens to be source of all universal power.

If you played any platformers back in the day then you know that almost all of them had a lot of secrets to find and other goodies like that which made those of us with OCD wanting to find every single little thing in those games back then. Canyon Capers has that as well as many different routes to completing the game. There also happens to be plenty of unlockable characters that have their own abilities to try out while on your journey.
For those of you who like challenging old school platformers, Canyon Capers is now available on Google Play for $1.99 and has no IAPs. If you use a controller whilst you game on your Android device, you will be happy to know that Canyon Capers supports controllers as well. Nvidia Shield (tablet or portable) owners are also treated to some special ‘extras’ which we are trying to find right now.
