About this game

Cavelon II is a platform-puzzle sequel to Cavelon. Players must collect every door piece in a dungeon before time runs out, then proceed to the next area.

Knights, birds, archers, and other hazards threaten your progress. Ladders connect platforms, while jumping helps you avoid danger. The Black Wizard can release additional hazards, and the Excalibur power-up may let you ride an unicorn to move past obstacles more easily.

Being hit costs a life, and losing all lives ends the game. Developed by Jetsoft and published by Ocean Software Ltd., Cavelon II was released for Commodore 64 systems in 1983. It was later re-released by Mastertronic in 1985 as Excaliba.
