Captain Spelunker by jobo
Captain Spelunker is tasked with getting to the treasure at the end of this very unusual cavern.
He must be wary of Amebas infesting the cavern and avoid hitting the walls.
Can you make it all the way to the end and the treasure?!
CONTROLS: SHIFT increases/maintains altitude
HOW IS THIS GAME BASED ON THE THEME?
In two ways actually.
The first is that the game is divided into two "connecting" stages/worlds.
The second way might become apparent if you realize just who Captain Spelunker is and where he is spelunking. The hints are there, but I suppose they are somewhat subtle.
This is my first ever Ludum Dare submission and the first "game project" I've ever actually finished.
PROGRAMS/TOOLS USED IN CREATION: Construct 2, Photoshop, GP5, Audacity & Bfxr.

I didn't watch my score at the end but I think I was over 15k ^^ You should have it display your highest score under your current score (unfortunately you can't change your game anymore)
Also, did you make the music yourself? Just a reminder that you can't use pre-made music (the quality of the sound makes me think you downloaded it somewhere)
Aaaand I think I know where this is... (being pink and all) But there are cannons so idk :P
The game is intended to be difficult, old school style.
I didn't really expect many people(if any) would have the patience to finish the game and I basically just set the difficulty so that it would be challenging for myself.
I composed the music myself during the weekend, so no rule breaking there. The sound quality did end up pretty bad though. :/

Why oh why would you select SHIFT to be the button to hold? Haven't you heard of Sticky Keys in Windows? :)
