| Recommended Settings | 2017-03-20 | Greetings Cave Dwellers, to ensure the best gameplay experience possible, please use the following game options: VSYNC Set to OFF (default), unless your monitor runs @100Hz+ ! The game runs best @100fps. Most monitors run @60Hz, so if you enable VSYNC, the game will run @60fps, which will ruin the gameplay. GAMESPEED Set to the 5th position from the left, which equals 100fps (default) ! There are 8 different gamespeed settings, but only positions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. GIMP ENEMIES Set to OFF (default) ! With this setting, the crabs and worms will use a more clever pathfinding algorithm, which will result in less enemies going crazy w |

| Character movement improved / fixed | 2017-03-16 | Greetings Cave Dwellers, There has been another small patch which fixes the character movement. Depending on the framerate and the exact moment the key and one or more movement keys were pressed simultaneously, it was possible the character moved AFTER releasing the key. This has been fixed. Thank you W.A. the Anum for reporting this bug! Enjoy and have fun, PSY-LABS |

| Time extension for Cave 7 and 8 | 2016-11-20 | Greetings Cave Dwellers, There has been another small patch which extends the time for Cave 7 ( +60 seconds ) and Cave 8 ( +50 seconds ). Even if played well, there was almost no time left when exiting the Caves, rendering the bonus time reward insignificant. PSY-LABS |
