Description


Descend through the abyss to try to find the mystical Golden Fish. Confront the darkness, equipped only with your climbing gear and lantern. Be careful not to fall or to get lost in the caverns !

Controls


From the floor:
- Use the Arrow keys or WASD to move right / left
- Press SPACE to Jump.
- Use C on the edge of a platform to deploy your rope and climb down
- Use G on the edge of a cliff to deploy your grappling hook and climb up.
- Use V to throw a glowstick.
- Use M (or Tab) to open the map

From a rope:
- Use the Arrow keys or WASD to move up / down
- Press SPACE to Jump off (only works if space is available)
- Use C to release rope

The lantern doesn't work very well (bugs remain), but you can keep the key E pressed to use it (only when on the floor and not moving).

If you get stuck : Press BACKSPACE to reset the player position to the beginning of the level, and please tell us the location so that we can try to fix it :)

The Game should support controller inputs, with respectively (XBOX mapping) : Left Joystick to move, A to jump, B for rope down, Y to throw the grappling hook, X for glowstick, SELECT for map.

Not supported on mobile device (no touchscreen inputs).
