Cave Dwellers

This game was made by University of Utah students in 48 hours.

Traverse an ancient cave full of dangerous monsters as you try to take the precious gem inside!  You now need to escape the cave alive.  If a monster attacks you, it's game over, so don't get caught!

Watch your light level! Your torch will slowly deplete, eventually leaving you in darkness. Pick up sticks to relight your torch. Sticks are dropped by the tree monsters when you hit them with a rock, but don't get too close, or they will spot you!   You have all the rocks you need in your backpack, so no need to find any.

Controls:
AD or left and right arrow keys -> Move Left/Right
W or up arrow key -> Jump
Spacebar or X -> Throw rocks and proceed through protologue
E or Z -> Pick up sticks
R -> Restart/Skip the protologue
