Excavatorrr!

So,  I decided to change my entry, after being unsatisfied with my first one. I like thise many times more.

Excavatorrr is about a mono-colour adventurer who seeks for riches in underground caves. The game may be a bit hard to understand at first, but after a while you’ll (hopefully) get used to it.

–Controls–
Arrows – move
Up arrow – aim
Down arrow + D – drop item
D – throw/use item (UP arrow to aim throwing)
S – jump/confirm

Important! Those 4 brown boxes in the beginning are ladder kits, which you use to get away from the depths of the caves. Try to carry one with you at all times. throwing the ladder will cause it to appear downwards in front of you, and throwing it upwards will make it appear upwards right where you are. I hope you read this, because, well, it’s easy to get stuck without.

Note that the ladder kit creates itself downwards if you don’t aim it with the UP key. warning!! the falling blocks are slippery and buggy! To get a bit better idea of what’s going on, I suggest you check the “help” -text, found by waiting in the title screen.

I’m really happy with this one, especially when it took 11 hours.

I imagine this is what Spelunky would’ve been like if it was made on an Atari 2600. The game’s pretty fun actually, but it’s quite easy to trap yourself so that you can’t get up to get your stuff anymore.
