Caverna Capricia is a procedural-generated dungeon crawler with click-based combat. It takes inspiration in equal measures from traditional roguelikes, JRPGs, and idle or incremental games like Loop Hero.

Click the eyeballs in battle to deal damage. Scavenge the dungeon for treasure and powerups. See if you can survive to the 9th floor and claim the ultimate prize of Caverna Capricia.

Here are a couple tips for surviving the dungeon:

1. Do not fear BAT or SNK. They are nearly harmless.

2. Treasure chests are essential to survival.

3. Scrolls are usually powerful tools, but one is a curse.

Indeed, this game was created entirely in 7 days for the 7DRL jam. It's a wicked pace to release a game of really any scale, but I'm happy with the results and I think I've succeeded in the challenge. Stay tuned and I'll have a thorough postmortem about my great experience with 7DRL and the community, as well as the all the challenges faced along the way.
