Cave Escape by Josh @ Dreamland
In this somewhat mysterious game, you wake up in a dark cave with nothing but your arms and some rope. You collect one additional item to help you through your escape, of which you know nothing.
Most of the game is spent jumping across platforms or hanging/strafing on ledges (you'll notice the movement is slower).
Controls are WASD, and later, Mouse + Mouse Left and your choice of Mouse Right or Space. Remember the right click and space thing--they're a bit unintuitive, but I was in a hurry and couldn't think of a better way to resolve the dismount vs climb issue you'll run into.
Easy on the eyes controls:
W: Jump / Climb ladders
A/D: Walk/strafe left/right
S: Descend, drop down
Mouse: Aim hook
Mouse L: Launch hook
Mouse R: Climb rope
Made using the ENIGMA Development Environment. Source is in Game Maker GM6 format.
Graphics made in GIMP by whoring the tree bark and walnut textures as well as the Wind distort filter.
I offer binaries for Windows and for Ubuntu x86/x64. If you run neither, and still wish to play, you will have to compile it using ENIGMA, found here: http://enigma-dev.org/
Sorry about that. I just don't have a Mac box.

HINT: for those looking for purple, when it looks like you've come upon a hilariously cruel dead end, it may not have been so.
I understand the darkness and lack of direction is part of the point, but with such an open area some sort of distinction to where you are relative to where you're going would be helpful.
