Our take on Diamond Caves
The defining structure is a collection-based escape puzzle: gathering enough Emeralds and Diamonds is required before each cave's exit becomes available.
What is Diamond Caves?
Diamond Caves is an arcade puzzle game with classic 16-bit graphics and sound.
Each cave requires collecting enough Emeralds and Diamonds to open the exit while navigating enemies, traps, doors, keys, acid pools, teleporters, bombs, and dynamite. It includes 200 single-player levels and 100 teamwork levels across groups with different difficulty levels. Single-player and split-screen co-op modes support mouse, keyboard, and controller play. Every level has its own high-score leaderboard. Bonus levels and Steam achievements can be unlocked. A level editor supports custom stages, and Steam Workshop provides access to user-generated levels.
