Traverse through a expansive dark cave. The only thing making light for you is your sonar. Beware, however. You aren't the only one who can hear it...

Gameplay:

You play as a murmur - a clumsy cave creature that uses echolocation to navigate the tight and claustrophobic areas in this atmospheric platformer. Dodge creature attacks, completely evade them (if possible), hunt glowgrubs and maybe even find  few secrets along the way...


Atmosphere:

The cave is hand crafted with numerous threats, but rewards too. The game features unique creatures all revolving around echolocation and sound. Not all are evil though. The elusive glowgrubs are your pray. So you better hunt them down.


General info:

Playtime: 10-20 minutes

Controls: WASD / Arrow keys, Space to use echolocation

Awww that was such a cute game! I really liked how strategic I had to be, managing finding my way with echolocation, seeing spider nets without echolocation, pushing away jellyfish and not attracting the long fishes, all while not waking up the little mole creatures. That was such an enjoyable experience, I should have played this before the voting period had ended!
