caveEscape

About:

This game was created for the GMTK GameJam 2026 - Countdown. It's a 2D game made in Unity with all art created by me. In this game, you will be falling down in a cave and will have to use the A and D  keys to move left and right respectively. You can also grapple onto a specific object using their mouse click. There are many different exits laid around each level. You have to figure out which escape is actually reachable using the two mechanics mentioned before (movement and grappling). There will be a countdown counting down the time left before you reach the bottom of the cave, at which point you'll die and return by death to the level's starting point.

Controls:

• A - Move Left
• D - Move Right
• Left Mouse Click (On Grappable Object) - Grapple

Items:

1. Cave Branch: Will die if you touch this
2. Grappable Object: Can grapple onto this with left mouse click
3. Win Condition: Reach this to go to the next level
