About CaveDuel

Raid caves and steal gold in 1v1 online tactical matches. Make a strategy to steal your opponent's gold and build your cave around that strategy.

Note: A controller is required to play this game.

What is the objective?
In order to win, you must take your opponent's gold and bring it back to your treasure chest.

Is this a fighting game?
You can fight your opponent but you only win by stealing their gold.
All damage is lethal and you don't respawn. This game is more about tactics than fighting.

How long is a match?
Around 1-2 minutes.

Build my own cave?
Yes! You build the cave you play in. You can design it as part of your tactical strategy. For instance, you can make hiding spots in your cave to wait for an easy attack on your opponent. Or, you can design it in a way that lets you quickly enter your opponent's cave. It's up to you.

✦ AI summary

CaveDuel offers an engaging adventure puzzle experience with atmospheric underground exploration and dynamic level design that players appreciate. However, the game is limited by repetitive mechanics and would benefit from expanded control options like mouse and keyboard support, as well as single-player bot matches to complement the current multiplayer focus.

Игра "CaveDuel" предлагает захватывающий геймплей в жанре приключений с элементами головоломок. Погружение в подземный мир с уникальной графикой и динамичными уровнями — главные плюсы. Однако повторяющиеся механики и сложность некоторых задач могут разочаровать. Рекомендую для любителей аркадных испытаний, но ожидайте не идеального исполнения.

Hi there o7 Maybe make a version that supports mouse and keyboard and the possibility to play against a bot? This is quite a fun idea you had there going on. Would be a shame to just let it go to waste. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! o7
