Caverns of Torment

Caverns of Torment is a traditional-style platformer that pays homage to the golden era of the Sega Mega Drive and SNES.

This is the first game I designed and developed within the Unity engine as part of my university degree.

Objective:

Escape the caverns within 5 minutes while traversing various hazards and collecting pickups that add to your score!

Features:

• Pixel art style
• Chiptune SFX made with JSFXR
• 8-bit chiptune-style music
• Secret areas
• Wall slide / Wall jump ability
• Ability to bounce on slimes
• Checkpoint / Revive points
• Various collectibles

Known issues:

The best time displayed at the end of the level was fully functional during development. However, for some reason, Unity removed the saved variables during the build process, so the best time no longer displays correctly.

Made using Unity 2022.3.26f1.
