Explore the Magic Cave and loot EVERYTHING.

OVERVIEW

Into the Cave is a Isometrical Rogue-Lite with multiplayer elements. The game was developed in Unity and has both single player and cooperative mode for two players.

With the loot, the player can improve their skills, acquire weapons and increase the level of the dungeon, which makes it more dangerous, but in turn, contains better rewards.

I took this opportunity to improve my pitching and design skills, managing a complete development process.
