Into the Pit: The Endless Caverns by mklee

[raw]
made by mklee for LD15 (COMPO)
Into the Pit is a game heavily-inspired by level 2 of the original Battletoads for the NES. You play a cave explorer (who happens to look a lot like a certain character from a certain game with caves, but let's ignore my terrible art skills for now) who's going down an endless pit for some unknown reason. Adventure, treasure, hot chicks, whatever you care to imagine.

Avoid traps and kill bats by dashing into them. Bats can be killed by dashing into them and juggled for high points and to regain health. Score points by hitting multiple bats in a single dash.

Controls:
Arrow keys - move
Double-tap left or right - dash in that direction
