Cave War

== Cave War ==
Cave War is a deathmatch level created by Proclifo. The first known mention of the level was in 2017 on the Gods of PR3 Discord, but it's believed to have been published sometime in 2016. It's a recreation of a level of the same name that Proclifo had created in the original Platform Racing 3 on Sparkworkz. The original version of the level had a cave background, but didn't have any art for years until TadTad drew a background in spring 2023. In the original PR3, there was a variant of the level called "Turkey War", which had the same map layout but with the Thanksgiving background and music.
== Level Description ==
The level has a row of directional arrows with stat blocks above for players to hit like many old deathmatch levels feature. Players are then put into a room with three teleport blocks that will send players to different spots on a large map. It only uses default blocks, but has a few others aside from basics and items. There are a few bombs, some heart blocks, and some areas with several brick blocks that can be broken with items. The level also has a gimmick where players have 200 health and lose 1 every second, additional hits by players draining their time faster.
== Reception and Legacy ==
Cave War is one of Proclifo's most popular levels with over 700 plays. It was played frequently in the early years of Reborn, and again in 2023 when Proclifo returned to the game for a time, being hosted in a few tournaments. In March 2023, Proclifo posted in the Platform Racing 3: Reborn Discord forum asking if anyone would draw a background for the level, and TadTad's background would be added in April.
