Cave Runner

Another week, another game jam! This time the 2-buttons jam hosted in itch.

Cave Runner is a modern take on "Roland in the Caves", a 1983 game written by a Spanish duo for the Amstrad CPC464.

As the jam name suggests, only 2 buttons are allow as the input for the whole game. In this case, Z and M jump left and right respectively.

The game feels somewhat like the original Roland game, that is, quite difficult, annoying and frustrating to play. Some perseverance will reward to player in seeing his little character jump to freedom.
