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 :)
