About the Game

Meet Calvin! Calvin is a curious and kind-hearted little creature who only knows the deep underground tunnels he calls home. Luckily, he can effortlessly swap between three different forms, all three in some way making it easier to move through the tunnels:

  • Blue: Swim and breathe underwater.

  • Red: Jump high and climb up walls.

  • Green: Run fast horizontally.

Calvin will, together with you, journey through the unknown tunnels to find out what hides there - and what can be found on the surface above? When exploring the treacherous tunnels, you will meet dangerous creatures. Will you hide or will you run? Calvin has a few more ways to try to stay safe in this environment:

  • A small cannon shooting tranquilizing bubbles.

  • The ability to dash out of the way quickly.

  • A shield that zaps anything that comes too close.

Help other creatures on your journey! Some might be hiding from dangerous enemies, while others are seeking a lost item, or simply need help reaching their food. No matter the issue, sweet Calvin always helps when he can!

If you're ever unsure about the next step, Gloomy the guide is always close. He might not speak the same language as you, but he has his own way of guiding you in the right direction.

Are you a player who wants to push the limits and challenge both yourself and others? Or are you the kind of player who wants to take your time and enjoy the world around you in a more casual way? Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can change the difficulty setting to best match the playstyle that you would enjoy the most. You can also, at any time, choose to hide or show the speedrun timer.

No matter how you choose to play, I hope you'll have a great time together with Calvin!
