Carve The Cave Together

Play it alone or with friends.

A co-op incremental game for one to four players. You start in a tiny clearing in the middle of solid rock, with no gravity and no map. Throw a ball and it bounces, carving a tunnel until the rock stops it. Then throw another.

Four players, one cave. Invite friends, or hand anyone your cave code. Friends can drop into a cave that's already running, and each of you throws at your own pace.

Nothing slows a throw down here but the rock. Every ball keeps flying until its hits run out.

The Splitterball splits into three. The Lance drills a dead-straight tunnel. The Charge blows a hole in the wall. The Rot Ball rots the rock from the inside, the Arc Ball zaps everything near it, and the Magnet pulls your other balls to where it lands. Then pick how to throw them: a Single Shot, a Spread, a Twin back to back, a Broadside wall of shot, or a Sentry that keeps firing on its own.

Everything you mine rattles down a pachinko board, and where it lands decides what it pays. Crates buried in the rock hold the upgrades for the machine, and crates buried deeper out hold richer ones.

Hundreds of upgrades, on a map covered in fog. Buy one and its neighbours light up.

Four stones are buried out in the dark. Break a pair and a line points the way. Break all four and the one golden piece wakes up. Deep out there, crystal shatters in a ripple from a single hit, and ringing metal shrugs off everything but your special balls.
