👥 Shared Lantern Cave

Shared Lantern Cave gives two explorers a single lantern to split between the dark passages. In Shared Lantern Cave, you decide who carries the light and who feels ahead in the dark, passing the lantern to reveal traps just in time. Guide both explorers to the cave mouth using one shared light. Player 1 and Player 2 split a single keyboard, so there is no scramble for the same keys and no second gamepad to dig out of a drawer. Along the way you will enjoy one shared light source, pass-the-lantern co-op and hidden traps. No friend around right now? Take control of both players or face a simple computer rival to stay sharp at Shared Lantern Cave. Grab a friend, share one screen, and find out who really rules Shared Lantern Cave. Matches are short, swingy and instantly replayable, so Shared Lantern Cave fits a quick break or a whole evening of grudge matches.
