How to Play
You start in Cave 0 with five possessions: a water bottle, a lamp, a knife, gloves, and a set of keys. Each turn you choose one of three connected caves to move into.
- Treasures: Collected automatically when you enter the cave. Some need keys or gloves.
- Hazards: Pits, dragons, and dark caves can kill you — use your possessions wisely.
- Warnings: Warning messages appear when a danger is one cave away.
- Escape: Find the Magic Word and use it, or find the See Light exit cave.
Frequently Asked Questions
The bats stole my lamp — is there a way to get it back?
Find the Wand cave. Entering it gives you two wand charges. Open the menu and tap "Use Wand" — it returns all items currently held by bats to your inventory.
How do I escape?
Two ways: find the Magic Word item (the Wizard cave grants it automatically), then open the menu and tap "Use Word." Or find the See Light cave — entering it ends the game with your current score. Watch for the "SEE LIGHT" warning in adjacent caves.
What does the Cape do?
The Cape lets you survive a Dragon cave. Without it, a dragon is instant death. Warning: Small Caves strip the Cape from you and return it to where you found it.
My high score didn't save after I escaped.
Scores are saved automatically the moment the game-over screen appears — no button tap required. Check the High Scores screen via the button on the home screen.
What does the seed number do?
The seed determines the cave layout. The same seed always produces the same map. Leave the field blank for a random seed. Share your seed with friends to compare scores on identical layouts.
Can I turn off the sound?
Yes. During a game, open the menu (bottom bar) and scroll to the Sound section. You can toggle sound effects and ambient music independently.
