Cliffdelver

A game about dwarves, gold, and swinging from pitons
Made in three hours for Trijam #295 by Matthew Marsland and Jordan Reece

Introduction

Descending a cliff into the deep dark, a humble dwarf seeks fortune and glory where few others dare to tread. Armed with rope for swinging, pitons for support, and a trusty pickaxe for mining ore, they plunge ever downward. But they have good reason to be cautious; this cliff is also home to dangerous green mushrooms. Many a miner has bumbled into their poisonous spores and dropped a whole sack of gold thanks to a coughing fit. Once the dwarf's friends up above get just a little bit too worried about safety, they'll winch up the rope, so grab as much gold as you can before the time runs out!

Controls

• Click 'Delve' to begin the game
• Use Left Arrow/A/H and Right Arrow/D/L to swing the rope left and right.
• Use Space or Left Mouse Click to place a piton at your current location and begin swinging from that new anchor point.
• Avoid green mushrooms and collect as much gold as you can before the time runs out!
