This Is No Cave

Going Gold
By Rob from the Shack
This Is No Cave is a minimalist 2D platformer and runner where precision and speed are everything. Navigate alien tunnels using your thrusters and grapple hook.

Stranded after a crash landing on an uncharted planet, you must navigate a maze of alien tunnels filled with strange flora, dangerous fauna, and colossal worms that threaten to end your escape.

This Is No Cave is a minimalist 2D platformer and runner focused entirely on movement. Every jump, swing, and boost counts as you weave through tight spaces using your thrusters and grapple hook to build momentum and chain together fast, flowing runs.

The faster you go, the smoother it feels, and the more rewarding each victory becomes. An integrated leaderboard lets players race for the best times, while an endless mode adds replay value for those who can’t stop moving.

Key Features:

  • Precision-based 2D movement with simple mouse controls
  • Single-player campaign plus endless mode
  • Thruster and grapple mechanics that reward flow and rhythm
  • Global leaderboards for the fastest players
  • Atmospheric sci-fi world with minimalist art
  • Demo available now on Steam
  • This Is No Cave pushes the boundaries of the runner genre by turning minimalism into mastery.
