Cave 1k

Overview

This 1K game was originally developed for the 2004 Minigame Compo where it

became 1st.

It then became part of the SWOOPS! minigame collection. Since I couldn't find

any restrictions on the website, I decided to submit it for the Hackaday 1kB

Challenge again. Feel free to reject it. :)

Guide your helicopter through an endless cave, avoid all obstacles and score

as many points as possible. Have far can you get?

Well, it doesn't get simplier than this:

To control the helicopter's height, just press the firebutton button. Oh, and

don't crash into the cave. :-)

Actually it's a little bit harder, because there is a lot of inertia in the

helicopter movement. So be careful when pressing the button or you will find

yourself sticking in the upper cave border soon. But I am sure you will get

used to it very soon.

Also try to evade the walls, which will get larger and move faster the further

you proceed into the game. A good timing is essential there. Learn how to use

the inertia!

The display shows your score and is color coded:

During the game:

White non-random, stationary walls game

Green random, stationary walls game

Magenta non-random, moving walls game

Blue random, moving walls game

Red new highscore!

After the game the score switches:

Red highscore

other colors last score

There is only one highscore for all game variations.
