I really like your cave generation system. The shapes are very organic and attractive!!
I enjoyed this game more than I expected I would. I don't understand the monster killing system, but in general the cave exploration and timer ticking down is a classic old mechanic. :)
Didn't find a single monster. :o (or then I didn't recognize them as monsters?) Shame it's unfinished, could've been great with another day's work!
Very interesting, wonderful cave generation, but the gameplay itself is lacking.
Cool caves
Sad to hear things didn't go like you planned. :(
Nice cavern generator. Mind if I borrow it?
Like the others, I like the caves. I liked just walking around and looking at their shapes, and the way fuel and steam tanks seemed to get more and more common the deeper you get, I thought I'd never die, though the attacks by invisible monsters got more frequent as well. Anyway, I eventually reached level 21, and couldn't find the exit! I searched and searched, and eventually did find it .. behind a wall. It was in a little bubble of its own, separated from me by solid wall on all sides. So yeah, it appears your cave generation has a little bug. Sorry =P
Other than that though, I think this is nice for what it is. Are you planning to work more on it?
Not much of a game sadly.
The generated caves do really look good though. I once killed a monster (the message said so), but I didn't really see anything?
Nice cave generation, but the gameplay is a little too random. Would have been better with actual graphics for the enemies.
Made it to 88 kills and level 29. It's simple and fun for awhile, but it's missing something to make it replayable over and over. It might be an actual interaction between you and the monsters. Otherwise, it's just a race against two different timers. I like it. The cave generation is neat too.
<3 the little guy's sprite. Unfortunately I couldn't find much gameplay here. :(
Nice random map generation. Apparently the cave monsters were invisible?
The sprite looked nice, but was tiny. You probably would have been better off rendering it at double size.
Needs some more work to make it fun and interesting.
I really like the generated caverns. They have a nice organic feel to them! I would love to know more about the process you used, because I am interested in using a similar system in a turn based game with generated environments.
I descended to level 16 and killed 16 invisible cave monsters!
Really like the direction this was heading in. The steam and fuel concept is fun and the caverns are great to explore. Just needed a bit more final game put into it. The graphics are simple but cool.
Almost 100 kills before trapped in a bubble. Too easy! Sweet caves, beautiful (tiny) pixel art!
A good start...
