About Cave Runner

Tired of the simplest platformers? I came to break your keyboards and check your nerves! It's not just "another game," it's a challenge, and I'm throwing it to you!
  • 50 challenging levels
Each movement will have to be perfected, before the level can be completed.
  • Complicated management
The usual control scheme is complicated by the presence of inertia and the physical size of the character. You will have to calculate each subsequent action.

✦ AI summary

Players criticize the game for its terrible control scheme that only supports arrow keys without gamepad support, combined with frustratingly tight time limits and unfair hit boxes that make levels require numerous attempts. While the core concept of navigating tight spaces is present, the overall experience is hampered by poor controls and excessive difficulty spikes, leaving most players frustrated and unable to recommend it.

[h1]About controls[/h1] An important caveat is due to the controls. First, it only supports arrows - no WASD or native gamepad (though I wouldn't recommend even trying it with a gamepad!). Second, keyboard limits the movement to the eight cardinal and inter-cardinal directions, which renders the narrow caves difficult to maneuver through. You often also have to make a tight turn, which especially in a diagonal direction is easy to mess up (read: you hit a wall and start again). As a minor issue, the music stopped working half-way through the game. A minor issue though, since it's not particularly enticing to begin with. [h1]Conclusions[/h1] I beat the game in about 20 minutes. Others have taken longer, depending …

Really frustrating and hard, bad control scheme and too short time to do the levels with annoying collision mechanics.
