Cavern of Gears
Mission briefing
Cavern of Gears is a 2D action-adventure set in a steampunk underworld. Fight through gear-driven caverns with a growing arsenal of weapons, uncover the fate of the workers who vanished below, and face down the powers that took their place.
Field manual
Fight your way through caverns, defeating enemies and collecting weapons and power-ups as you travel deeper. Clear all the stages and the bosses to discover the century-old secret that they are hiding. WASD to move, SHIFT to dash, J/K to attack, R to switch weapon, L to use power-up
Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.
