Rock Raiders: Cavern Run
Merry Christmas to everyone at RRU! On this special day, I have prepared a little present for you all: Cavern Run, a web game based on the arcade games of the 80s. Weighing in at just over 3MB (a bit larger than the sizes available back then, but meh), this game places a character designed by you, using the character creator at the beginning, into a long cavern filled with deadly hazards and rewarding Energy Crystals. Jump, shoot lasers and blast sonic at the obstacles in your way to make it as far as possible and gain the highest score, all while your running speed gets increasingly faster. With an excellent soundtrack by @Shadowblaze, an addictive-yet-simple gameplay and competitive working leaderboards, Cavern Run is sure to make this Christmas (and beyond) a special one!

Instructions
The game is played using the up, left and right arrow keys. The game will guide you through the menus and gameplay mechanics. At the character creator, pressing Jump while on the Head selection will begin the game.
Crystals earn you 10 points each, Slimy Slugs earn you 30 points each and Rock Monsters earn you 50 points each. After you are defeated, you may enter your name using your keyboard (Backspace deletes characters, Delete will not work). Please do not use offensive or inappropriate names or your score entry will be removed. It is recommended that you use your RRU name or similar (there is a 10 character limit) to identify yourself to others when viewing the leaderboards.
When you have finished a game, press the orange Reload button at the top-right corner of the screen if you wish to play again. In full screen mode you will need to refresh the page instead.
Please note that you may have to click on the game screen a few times during the menu if the keys do not respond, this is an issue with Flash.
