‘Caves n’ Chasms’ is an Intriguing-Looking Mining Game

TouchArcade Rating:

Chronicle Games has just released a trailer for their upcoming game Caves n’ Chasms, and it’s looking like a slick digging game that should hopefully be out this month. You’ll be drilling through block-filled chasms, encountering enemies and all sorts of baddies along the way, using your traps to help take them out and to dig further, drilling more and more along the way. Check out the game in action:

You can pick up a number of upgrades for your drill, traps, and tools to help make the digging and the enemy dispatching go much better. The game is level-based, not open-world. Expect this one to be a paid game and to possibly release this month. The devs are active in our forums, and they’re looking for testers, especially if you have an Android device laying around. Android is still easier for updating and sending out new builds than iOS, though the new Testflight is extremely handy for that. But if you have Android, you might just get to help out with this one.

              "This is adapted from Ryan North's choose-your-own-adventure novel of the same name from 2013, now available in handy digital form!"

                Oh, ok

      Great review, I now have to buy it lol

      It sounds like the reviewer has played this many times already. Does anyone know, on average, how long a playthrough (or read through) will run? I'd hate to buy this only to find that I'm re-reading it after only ten minutes, great artwork or no.

        I played it and it ended in 5 minutes. Then I played it again with the same result. Is this only a 5 minute game or is there more? Can someone please enlighten me on this as the game ended abruptly twice when I thought it had just begun?

      2. Tastyfish

        I have the same question. Ie: if you were to choose the most similar path to the original story of Hamlet, how long would that take?

        1. Tastyfish

          The original Ryan North choose your own adventure book is 768 pages. If it's basically a direct port of that, then I'm in. Anyone can confirm?

            It is
