Project Cavernivores

2020-06-23 UPDATES:

Highscore issue is fixed! 

Also a storyline behind this game:


There were a intelligent humanoid race created out of human biological test curiosity. They fluorished, until human race decided to pick up the fight over the Earth stagnant resources, and they lost unprepared over human armed with tactical nukes. The remaining humanoids scattered under the Earth crust, relying on the geothermal energy and other animals living next to lava, to live. They built cavern mazes for the sake of defending against human attacks. Some traits of humanoid families were on the other hand manipulated by humans and loyal to human forces. They fuel suicidal covert ops mission with their own manpower due to their personal strength and agility advantages. They are notoriously recognized as genocidal Cavernivores.

This prelude describes you as a brainwashed protagonist assigned to storm a cave of humanoid slaves, stopping a potential revolt.

2020-06-22 UPDATES MUST READ:

IMPORTANT NOTES: There seems to be a bug in which after beating the boss, your name is not recorded on the Highscore. So whenever you beat the game, don't bother to take a screenshot and send to me! Then I will help you add your highscore on the server just in case. Thanks!

MORE IMPORTANT NOTES: Because I cannot reproduce this bug, I don't know how to fix it.

IMPORTANT HINTS:

- By killing unarmed enemies you will be able to obtain First Aids

- By killing stronger unarmed enemies you will be able to obtain First Aids with a better supply!

- Same logic applies to other weapon item supply.

- Instead of rushing to the Purple aura, remember to search for Golden upgrades that will start appearing over Stage 3 ~ 7. Make sure you have collected the 4 golden upgrades below, otherwise beating the boss would be almost impossible.

GOLDEN UPGRADE SPOILERS:

- Sword upgrade: Enable double swords, allow securing Green / Orange enemy kills quickly

- Bow upgrade: Enable arrow to pass through enemies, inflicting anyone in range (first three victims share more damage), allow killing massive enemy queue / Green / Orange enemies behind Boss / Red enemies
