Cave Dude by l3dx

made by l3dx for LD29 (COMPO)

A cave puzzle game!

The cave dude is stuck (again). Get him out of there!

Code: Java+LWJGL
SFX: BFXR
Music: Toad + Peach (VST)
GFX: GIMP

Disclaimer: The start/end screens were made in reeeeally short time :D I also really wish that I'd managed to design some more challenging levels.

IN CASE OF CRASH: run from command line with "java -jar cavedude.jar" - this should give you an error message.

Can't start it on Windows 8 64-bit. A black window pops up then closes.

With this number of levels it's not that needed, but restart option would still be nice.

Reminded me of the old Lolo games on NES, which is a good thing. :) I liked this, although there doesn't seem to be a way to restart a level..? Now it's "one mistake and you're done!" kind of thing...

Couldn't launch either on xubuntu. Probably my fault tho as I'm a fairly new linux user.

Restart definitely required! But loved the retro Nintendo feel!

Thanks for playing! For those of you that experience chrashes: The only requirement is OpenGL 3.2 or higher. If you run it from command line with "java -jar cavedude.jar" you'll hopefully get a stacktrace. Please send it to me :-) thomas@skardal.com

No crash for me!
It's short&sweet.
Given the 3 levels, asking for a restart button seems overkill...
I like it overall!

Yes. With more time (and levels) I would definitely added som kind of level reset/restart! :-) Also, I've ran it on both win8 and linux now. So I suspect that a insufficient opengl version is the problem. Sorry about that!

Good old sliding block puzzles. Pretty short, but nice!

I know it's already been said, but i think it needs more levels. The game seems a little to easy as well, so reducing the fun factor a little. Adding a black darkness overlay with a transparent circle to it could make the level seem a little more explorable. Keep up the good work though!!

Really good mechanics and overall feel! The collisions are sometimes a bit sketchy with the blocks but not that bad. You have a good start, keep on building levels!

i really liked this one! I wanted to see some more challenging levels. A great start... good job! :)

It was fun while it lasted. Could use some more elements (slowly introduced in further levels).

I've added a "post compo release" with reload. (hit 'r' any time).

@LandoSystems: I think I've fixed your issue (in post compo version)

Both the Ludum and Post Ludum version crash without any message. (Using win7)
