Escape the cave

Hello everyone! This is a game my friends and I made together for Mini Jam. Since I want to continue developing it later, I don't want it to stay just as a jam entry — that's why I'm also sharing it here. Hope you enjoy playing!

📍 ESCAPE THE CAVE  

A 2D pixel-art action platformer focused on survival, crafting, and exploration.

You play as a lone explorer trapped deep within a mysterious cave. Armed with only a basic dart gun and a dying flashlight, you'll need sharp reflexes, smart resource management, and powerful modifiers to survive and find your way back to the surface.
