Super quick intro: Collect *one* jewel from each cave. Press Shift in-game for help. Press R to restart level. The rest should be self-explanatory.

Here it is, my first entry on Ludum Dare! In this game, you're an amateur cave explorer, and your goal is to obtain one jewel from every cave. These caves, however, punish those who are greedy: you only get one jewel. If you so much as even touch another one, you will die.

In addition, all you know about these caves comes from hints left behind by the previous explorers. So you only know what tools to bring, not the amount. But you're such an awesome explorer that you only really bring one of each type.

Controls are shown by pressing H on the main menu.

Bonus: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZV5jqZjDokQiaLaVyOtr1pnxSXvR6IRI5X a log of my journey. I'll try to make a piechart of how much time was spent doing what soon.

Also, small note: On level 8, the last one, when you have to deploy the ladder, try not to be too close to the leftmost wall, it kinda doesn't work right.

Even though all of the content was made by me, I suppose I should point out the following:

*A slight part of the mechanics were inspired by Lemmings, and some of the items you can use come from Lemmings 2.

*The font I used is just Trebuchet MS Bold, but with a gradient added.

Linux version is too hard to port :(
