Cave Crawler

You guide a lone explorer through a series of caves in a short, linear 2D action platformer. The goal is to make it through each stage and reach the final confrontation.

Run and jump across platforms while shooting cave enemies. Careful timing helps you get past threats and environmental hazards such as spikes and lava.

The game contains five levels, five enemy types, three environmental hazards, and one boss fight. A bonus stage is also mentioned by players.

Players who enjoy Cave Crawler often describe it as a fun, straightforward retro platformer that makes a good brief play session. Reviews appreciate the mix of jumping and shooting, and some like the challenge; others find the stages and overall experience too short. Slippery movement and difficult jumps are recurring frustrations.
