Dark Cave
A downloadable game
Dark Cave A Playdate arcade action game by Ishmokin
Descend into the Dark Cave.
Armed with nothing but your wits and a single shot, you must battle through endless waves of monsters. Kill monsters. Collect gold. Gather orbs. Free the fairies. Complete each quest to open the exit — then do it all again, deeper and harder than before.
But don't take too long. Something ancient stirs in the darkness.
Features:
- 4 quest types cycling endlessly in true arcade fashion
- 6 enemy types with unique behaviors — from wandering rats to relentless bats
- Fairy ring system — free fairies to gain speed and a devastating melee weapon
- Chain multiplier — keep your kills going for massive score bonuses
- Gold upgrades your max HP as you explore deeper
- A fearsome Dragon that spawns faster the fewer enemies remain
- Secrets lurking deep in the cave for those who dare go far enough
How deep can you go?
Notes:
Still in development.
I am not a programmer. Just a gamer who doesnt know anything about programming. I just want to make games for my own enjoyment :) Claude did all the heavy duty coding :)
