A downloadable game for Windows

Demo Day 19 Submission

The Cavern is a first person adventure puzzle game where the player must make their way through a branching cave whilst solving puzzles if they want to see the outside again.

There will be a lot of bugs in this game, please report these in the comment section.

As this is a very early version of the game, expect a lot of changes (nothing is final).

  • Overzealous lava collision.
  • Jumping not working as intended while moving.
  • Different resolutions mess up menu UI.
  • Mouse stays locked after beating the demo.

Hey there! I said I'd play the demo when it came out and I'm sorry I'm just now getting to it. I had a blast with this little demo and can't wait to see more ^^ See you on IG!

Thanks very much for playing, TheGameFox!

There are looaaaads of bugs in that version, that are fixed in the current (unreleased) version that I'll be releasing in about two months time. 

I've made jumping, and general movement better, as well as making lava more forgiving.

Along with this, the next area is being implemented soon.

Thanks again for playing,

Nice! You already know all the annoying stuff (known bugs) i was about to mention, so fix those and keep it up!

Thanks very much! Hopefully next Demo Day's release will be content-complete, and bug free.

Thanks,

Hi,

That's a standalone, non-install version up in the zip.

Thanks,

Thank you for fixing the screen rez issue.

I had a play and it was really nice. The video shows how many times I had to get the first orb due to myself not knowing how the jump worked. I had to jump and then move rather than jump and move but I made good progress.

I really liked the colors and the layout of the cavern and wondered if you had plans to expand? I could see some ledges coming into play with dark voids and I think it would work.

I've uploaded the video to youtube and metacafe but I have to wait for metacafe to review the video and dailymotion is a little off today so here's the link to the youtube video.

When metacafe and Daily Motion are back in working order then I'll update this thread.

Nice one

oh, i'll add an audio track using the youtube audio section as well.

edit. Must add the audio track first I think.

Hi,


Thanks very much for the video! It's excellent!

Jumping isn't working quite how I'd like but it's definitely high on the list of things to fix, and there are going to be a lot more areas to explore in the later demos and full release.

I'm glad you liked the art style, and thanks very much for playing!

Hey DEVS,

It looks really good except tyhat the screen size is just massive. On my screen I see the "S" on start on the bottom right and switching to window mode doesn;t do anything.

Can you help

cheers

[EDIT] That should be it fixed, thanks again for reporting it, and please let me know if anything else isn't quite right.

Hi, wobblyfootgamer, 

Thanks for notifying me on the issue and I'm sorry it has happened.

I'll get working on a fix ASAP.

Thanks, 

Snow
