Cavern Klämrisk is a physics-based 3D action game which features a man inside a semi-transparent basket, on a quest to descend into the Earth's core with only a trash bin as their solitary companion for the entire journey. Your objective is basically to keep the man inside the elevator for as long as you possibly can, a task made complicated by random sharp protrusions of the cavern walls that can knock the brave explorer out of his ride.

If the game lags or stutters a bit, you can turn off the music to make it run faster.

This is actually really fun. I mean, it's basically just one of those dodge-shit-while-you-move flash games. But still, fun game.

Also, the game lagged pretty badly until I turned the music off.

It was mentioned in one of the comments, but I didn't think the game would lag on most PCs (seeing as mine is a low-end machine as well).

I'll edit the original description anyway. Thanks for the info. :)

It also stutters on my computer, but no way I'm gonna turn that great music off! Well, unless it starts to stutter itself, wich actually happened on my last try.
Anyway, I agree that this is fun, mainly due to the typical ragdoll-hilarity. And the music! I just think it would be a lot more intersting if it was possible to catch the guy again when he falls out of the basket, which is virtually impossible at the moment.

Something about this game screwed up the resolution of my computer. When it asked to play it in full screen, I accepted with the proper resolution selected.

Then, my screen changed to something more square-ish (800x600?), with two large black bars on the sides. The game was frozen at this point, so I ctrl+alt+del'd it, and now, my computer is stuck in this resolution no matter what I do.

Ugh. This is frustrating. Any suggestions?

Sorry, a little more clarifying:

I CAN change the resolution; the only one that doesn't work properly is 1024x768 (my default resolution).

1024x768 now displays in 800x600; literally the only difference between the two now is that icons and the mouse and such are proper size on the 1024x768, while they're all bigger on the 800x600. The actual size of the screen is the same, though.

All other resolutions display as they should.

Please, help!

Ugh. Nevermind. I'm just an idiot, finally figured it out...

Fun game, but little replay value.
