AR: Relic Rush is an 8-bitish platform puzzler from Crescent Moon Games that packs a lot of fun.
It is an archaeological thriller that packs in jungles, temples, spooky beings and our protagonist with the ethical beliefs made popular my the whip-carrying here of the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Gaming Vault writes:
"Relic Rush is another such title that wholly embraces a similarly minimalist approach to the auto-runner genre and like Canabalt before it, that streamlined approach is felt keenly through its pixel-hugging aesthetics with big ‘n’ blocky, barely defined visuals and 8-bit homage ridden chiptunes."
A lot of iOS developers think they've been ever so clever in stripping back the classic platformer to its bare essentials for mobile play. They're nearly all wrong.
