Universal Cavernaut (by Einheit B)

Saw this and was immediately excited at the prospect of a Lunar Lander type game with excellent controls and robust gameplay with a little more depth. Well it appears that the game gods have heard these musings and answered with a resounding and definitive answer. "You shall have your Lunar Lander-like and it shall be called 'Cavernaut', but only if you recognize our hand in all things. Things like FLAWLESS Tilt Controls, Immersive music, strategic gameplay depth, and a robust upgrade path!!" I pay homage to the game gods and see that their Paladin Knight in the form of Mr. Einheit B has done his duty and the gods are pleased. A truly excellent effort and a joy to play. This is my favorite game of the month, and personally I believe this stands in good company to contend for Game of the Year. All the best Einheit B and after I play through another Zone I will leave an enthusiastic recommendation on the AppStore as well! Truly loving this little gem and hard to beleive this is your first solo effort! Keep up the great work and I look forward to the prospect of future content and gameplay enhancements for Cavernaut! Oh!! And I almost forgot to mention NO IAP's and only $.99?!!! Truly a no brainer here folks.

 

I dare someone to try and find even one really bad thing to say about the game? I swear I've tried. I can't. And honestly it's a unique thing because I always look for the bad things. The only thing that would come close, would be I've always hated tilt. While I think it's the most refined of any tilt game I've ever played on an iPhone. However I would like to have the choice of on screen controls. I still can't say it's negative. I'm just saying the choice would be better.

But I can't think of anything else that could be negative. Apple really needs to look at this game. It hits a ton of genres. And the graphics are simple yet really done nicely. The music and sounds are awesome and pretty cool.

I wish there was a way to actually tell Apple. I left an awesome review on the AppStore. Is there a site we can leave feedback on this with Apple?Actually the first three reviews are for myself, Noen and Anotherkellydown. Bam bam bam! Tell me what site did that? Haha

Once you get the hang of this , this game is super addictive trying to see how far you can get what you can find and beating your high score become obsessive

 

Yeah, I was playing on an airplane today and it crashed immediately after each game

 

Yay!

 

my thoughts.

 

Can't add much more to what's already been said about this beauty. I get a Desert Golfing vibe while playing. I love it.

 

I'm sorry to be redundant, but damn this game is really good. Nice music, graphics, solid gameplay, even the menu is well done. For a first game, this is really a homerun. Thanks dev for the work, it took obviously a long time to finish it, but well worth it. Hope you have success, I would be glad to have updates on this game, and most of all other games from you.

Now I'm on my way to leave a 5 star review on the french appstore. Congrats, and best of luck.

PS : yeah, I'd like support for the 6+ screen, but if it doesn't come, no big deal.

edit : ok, no review from me, the keyboard doesn't appear... Appstore is really buggy these days, anyway you still have 5 stars, but couldn't write anything.

 

Wow, what amazing controls. The tilt is just perfectly calibrated.

One of those rare games where it feels that when I make a mistake, say hitting a cave wall, it's my fault entirely, not the fault of the game or the controls. I like that you can play at your own pace to some extent (although there is a fuel limit of course) and it's kinda cheeky when you thrust up a passage to grab some crystals only to discover it's a dead end.

Now I'm working out what will be the best thing to upgrade first...

 

Clearly for me Shield and tractor beam are last, because that's bonuses you don't always find, Hull armor not much because I don't touch often, so between fuel, obvioulsy, and crystals, which will allow to gain more at each run.

i just discovered that lasers are instakill, that's nasty ! I had full armor and shield, so I told myself I could run through in order to get to a fuel pad which i badly needed, zaaaap, you're dead. Damn !

 

Hey ! That's the best buck I put in a game for months !
Not very interested at first but I was intrigued.
Now I can't stop playing this well done game !
Controls, music, fun and wish to play it again one more, this little game is marvellous !
Thanks for making it alive !
Very happy !
