Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced platformer may find the fast movement and timed escapes a poor match.
- Those looking for a broad campaign structure may find the emphasis on level runs and repeated attempts limited.
- Players who do not enjoy avoiding pursuing enemies may not want the worm-chase sections.
Our take on This Is No Cave
The description foregrounds fast movement and time competition, but the available play adjustments also include changing the game speed, lives, and burst charges. That means the challenge is not presented only as a fixed race against the clock.
What is This Is No Cave?
This is a fast-paced 2D platform game about escaping underground tunnels on an uncharted planet after a crash landing.
Move using a suit’s thrusters and grapple hook, interact with alien plants and creatures, and avoid giant worms that pursue the player. Levels focus on reaching the ship quickly, with leaderboard competition based on finishing times and quick respawns for repeated attempts. Adjustable settings include lives, burst charges, and game speed. The game can be played with a mouse or controller, and its hand-drawn environments range from caves to jungle. Endless mode turns the worm chase into a run for distance: collect bonuses, but each upgrade also makes the worm stronger.
