Cave of Doom: A Complete Overhaul into the Depths

Sometimes it takes more than just a minor update to get a game soaring again. Our classic Cave of Doom has been struggling a bit lately – so it was time for a fresh start!

Everything New, Please

Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself: you’re skillfully navigating the bird through the cave, and suddenly it just stops mid-air. Or the game starts lagging at the most crucial moment. These bugs were deeply rooted in the old code and couldn’t be fixed with a simple "patch" anymore.

That’s why we’ve completely rewritten Cave of Doom from scratch. The result: the controls are buttery smooth again, and those freezes are a thing of the past.

AI as a Hardworking Helper

The path we took this time was quite exciting: we used modern AI support to efficiently transition the old program code into the new structure. This was a huge help for us in our "after-work project", speeding up the process so we could focus more on fine-tuning and the overall game feel.

Staying on the Ball

As we promised in our recent news, we’re using this newfound "breathing room" to keep evolving elo in the areas where things have been sticking. Cave of Doom is just the beginning. We’re thrilled for you to try out the new gameplay – the high score is waiting!

Fly safely and stay cool!
