SFCave is a remake of the old arcade games
dominated by simple but fast graphics.
In the game you control a spaceship and try to fly
through a cave blocked with obstacles. Your aim is
to avoid these obstacles because as soon as any
obstacle or the cave walls are hit the game is over.
This is made even harder by gravity which constantly pulls
the ship down to the ground.
In an additional level scoring is achieved by flying
as close as possible to the cave walls.
This game has a few good and bad points. Let's start
with the good ones: The game offers three different
game types in one game. Also the graphics is quite
fast. Furthermore, scores and highscores make the game
more interesting to play.
However, despite this good approach there are things
which will keep you from playing. First of all, the graphics
is not up to date anymore. A white dot moving in white
lines ending in a explosion of white lines is not state
of the art graphics. Despite the three game types the
game gets boring quite fast, as there is no variation.
You simply fly and try to avoid the square obstacles.
Furthermore, the game is quite frustrating as it is
hard to impossible to avoid the barriers at some time and
there is nothing to protect you. Once you are too low
to fly over an obstacle you see it coming but you are lost.
As the game is free, give it a look if you have played
these type of arcade games decades ago, otherwise you will
probably not need to install it.
