Caves Of Mars on Windows Pc

The Caves Of Mars is the new 2D action space shooter game set in the mysterious caves of the planet Mars.

Mission
Tharsis is a mountainous region on Mars where hundreds of caves have been discovered. These caves contain precious gems which are heavily guarded by enemies and alien life forms.

Your mission is to explore these caves, destroy the enemies and collect as many gems as possible. Collecting gems will increase your health and gain points. You will gain extra bonus points the more gems you collect and enemies you destroy.

There are 100 cave levels to complete, each one generated completely randomly so no two levels are ever the same. As you progress through the levels the caves will become larger, more complex and you will encounter more challenging enemies, aliens and obstacles.

Controls
Your spacecraft will automatically descend downwards until it hits the ground or reaches an obstacle. Control your spacecraft by tilting your device in the direction you wish to travel, or you can enable the on-screen controller in settings. Fire by tapping on the screen.

Enemies
You will encounter many different enemies as you progress though the caves. Some guard their position and don’t move, whilst others form waves of enemy spacecraft which will follow you. The more powerful enemies will take serval hits to destroy.

Enemy Bosses
Watch out for enemy boss spacecraft. Some of the Key Cards are in the possession of enemy bosses so you will need your weapons to destroy these and collect the Key Card.

Aliens
Watch out for Alien lifeforms. Some of these can move, jump or fly and throw lightning bolts.

Fuel
Collect fuel to boost your health.

Power Ups

Map
To help there is a map of each cave system indicating the location of each Key Card and the laser doors they unlock. Open this by clicking on the map button. The caves get larger and more complex as you progress so you will need this map.
