We need more details to help you. E.g. what is preventing you from leaving the first room?

Okay, I've arrived at the first control center.  I'm going to blow it up now.

@Harold Thijssen  This game absolutely rocks!  What a great game!  Thank you so much for making and sharing this with us.  It's so well made and runs so smoothly and as another person here said it's highly addictive and the more you die the more you want to try again.

I quit playing at 3200 on level 4.

Just as Ed Fries made HALO 2600 in 2D, while I was playing this game, I had a familiar, eerie feeling...

like I had been in these caverns before...

I think this game could be called Forsaken 2600!  

Has anybody here ever played Forsaken?  This game reminds me of a 2D version of that game.

Forsaken Gameplay Sample (video should start at 2 minute mark)

See the similarities?  

- You pilot a tiny craft

- You shoot drones (unmanned flying craft)

- in large maze; don't get lost!

- there is an objective, something you must find and destroy 

 

Forsaken on N64 was like Descent on the PC.  

Some people might think Caverns could also be called Descent 2600.  

 

@Harold Thijssen  Caverns is an awesome game!  Thanks again so much for sharing it.
