UPDATE:
I've added a link to an updated, post-compo version for anyone interested. I fixed a bunch of bugs, the biggest of which led to the 'instant death' people have been experiencing. I also did some play testing and tweaking to make the game more fun/playable. This version is actually beatable, so please try it out if you want to experience more of the game

Cave is a 2D, top-down cave exploration game with procedurally generated levels. Dig and battle your way to the bottom! Hope you enjoy!
Introduction:
You've fallen into a cave and can't get back out. Your only option is to follow the following water at your feet, deeper and deeper.
Keep your eye out for treasure and tools as you progress. You can dig through certain materials, depending on what tools you have - watch for the green highlight and press SPACE.
Be careful of the unfriendly denizens of the cave, which can be very dangerous! Get near them and press SPACE to fight back!
Controls:
Arrow Keys - Move
Space - Dig through block/Attack enemy
F1 - Toggle Tutotial on/off
Notes/FAQs:
You can go back to levels you've already completed to grab any items you missed.
IF THE GAME CRASHES ON START:
Install the XNA 4.0 distributable (located in 'IFCRASH' folder in .rar)
IF YOU GET STUCK IN A LEVEL:
You can hit R to generate a new level. The previous levels and the player's stats stay the same when you do this.
