This is a cross platform project, using C++, OpenGL 1.3 (ES 1.0) as a rendering API, CMake as a build system and SDL as a mean of platform abstraction. Currently supported platforms are: PSP, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS.

With successful attempts to run it on such devices as Raspberry PI 3, Orange PI One, Samsung Note III.

User guide

The player controls an unnamed adventurer, known as the spelunker. The aim of the game is to explore tunnels, gathering as much treasure as possible while avoiding traps and enemies.

The spelunker can whip or jump on enemies to defeat them, pick up items that can be thrown to either attack enemies or set off traps, and use a limited supply of bombs and ropes to navigate the caves.

Levels are randomly generated and grouped into four increasingly difficult "areas", each with a distinctive set of items, enemies, terrain types and special features. Later areas contain more valuable treasures, secret locations, and items.

If the player loses all their hearts or runs into an instant-kill trap, they will have to start from the beginning.
