THE GOBLIN AND THE INFINITE CAVE

there is no end to the cave,

but in the cave, you will always find a new start.

now dig, child of man.

You awaken as a goblin in a mysterious cave, neither knowing your past nor your present circumstances.

Using your sword, your pickax, and as many upgrades as you can purchase along the way,  dive deep into the depths of the constantly-changing cave.
When you run out of time or health, reawaken on the first floor, and try again!

Explore and aim for a high score, using 8 different tools in 2 different modes that focus on speed and thoroughness.
Along the way, maybe you'll learn about the cave and your own backstory!

A two-month solo game project, inspired by a certain 120-floor cave system in a certain farming sim.
Thanks for playing!
