Hour of gameplay inside an atmospheric cave!
Little Caveman » Devlog


This version of the game offers an engaging and atmospheric platforming experience inside a mesmerizing cave. After the jam, I started developing gameplay level prototypes, which consisted of placeholder cubes for the environment. Once I reached the initial goal — creating about one hour of gameplay — I began revising the resulting prototypes.
I replaced the placeholders with actual cave environments, worked on the lighting, and added various details. This is not yet the final version of the game, but it's already playable and even enjoyable!
I invite you to try it out and experience what it's like to be a tiny, lost little caveman!!!

Wow, this game has come really far since the jam! It took me about 35 minutes to reach what I believe was currently the end of the game, as there was no more level to explore, just a gap into the void. The controls are really smooth now and the levels are well-thought out with solid platforming challenges and neat puzzles. The atmosphere is also great. I really liked the extremely dark boat section where the only illumination comes from the glowing spheres, it reminded me of an amusement park boat ride with a dark atmosphere.
I do have a suggestion, which is that improved controller support would be nice to have. I usually prefer to play 3D platformers on a controller so I can have analog control over my character's movement, and while the basic controls do work, some things are missing bindings, like picking up/throwing objects, so I had to use an outside program to do some remapping in order to play the whole game on controller. Similarly, the boat didn't seem to control properly with an analog stick, so I had to switch to keyboard there.
Sorry for the long comment lol. Keep up the great work, it's coming out really nice so far
Thank you so much! Your feedback is really valuable. I've already added your comments to my TODO board. 😊
