But be on the lookout, there are three secret areas waiting to be discovered, filled with even greater challenges and rewards. Can you conquer the bosses and uncover all the mysteries of the caverns?
Note: Runs best on Chrome.
Features
- Six cavern sections to discover and explore.
- Upgrade jumps and fire power to defeat all the enemies and reach all the locations.

- Secret ending....
Development
This game was developed over the course of a week. After many unfinished prototypes I figured I'd constrain myself to the extremes and force myself to finish a project. Let me know if you run into any bugs and I will fix them. If you enjoyed the game and want to know if I release anything new, follow me on the socials below. :)

The single-screen cave exploration game was more adventurous than I had imagined, thanks to the masked caves.
The difficulty level was just right, and the hidden ending at the end was interesting and unexpected!
Honestly I wish this was a longer game this was fun.
Really cool game, I love how the entire game takes place on the one screen (mostly), so you know if you've missed anything
Found that you can simply crouch/slide under an enemy and once back standing normal you dont get hurt at all, the floating ones at least
That bug has now been fixed. Thank you for letting me know!
Does the game end after you explored three caverns?
There are three hidden caverns in the world you can find. One you will need the shrink ability to get to. I didn't make any indicators for them so I'll release a new version so people can find them easier. Thank you!
Ah yeah, I think I found those, two big caverns where you can drop into, one big cavern you need to shrink for and two smaller hidden caverns, correct? But there's no ending after defeating the three bosses? It's just done?
Yeah the only ending is the secret one. The reward for killing all three bosses is the gold statue.
Hm, gold statue? Unless I was really looking with my nose, I did not see a gold statue, I think. I'll play it again, it was fun :)
Edit: Ah yes, I see now, totally missed the statue changed color :-)
Small game. A bit sad though that I spent my first money on a firepower and a jump upgrade, but now I can't jump high enough to proceed ... and no opportunities to get new coins. You might wanna fix that ;-)
Edit: Oh, never mind, I missed the double jump option (facepalm)
