The Dark Cave

In a location with such little light, the creatures within The Dark Cave have evolved to use sound as a means to navigate their environment and find prey.

I liked the visuals, and as already mentioned it had somewhat of a Limbo vibe to it. As much as I hate to say this, I would consider not having the respawn feature, or at least having it less frequently (or maybe that would be something to consider if you expand on the experience). I didn't even realize there was stuff I could throw, or that I use actually supposed to "use" the sound creatively, and I still finished the game in just a couple of minutes. I think it's a great start to something, though.
mmmmmm, a very short game, got scared at the end with the spider chasing me 😥
but its still a cool game 👍
When I seen the cover photo, I thought Ooh looks like Limbo! I'm surprised no one has commented on this; this is really cool! I admit, I didn't fully read the instructions, but I understood the concept when it counted. I especially love the save feature.
High 5 rating from me!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! Quite a few people have compared it to Limbo now - glad you found it playable without the instructions too! :)
