A one-click parkour game in space. Zoom through intricate levels using your suit's thrusters and grapple hook, all while evading colossal alien worms and racing against the clock.

Stranded on an uncharted planet after a harrowing crash landing, you find yourself navigating treacherous depths in an underground labyrinth. Try to get back to your ship quickly, you don’t wanna know what dug those tunnels…

Flee with Flair

This Is No Cave is a minimalist, fast-paced 2d platformer playable with just your mouse (controller supported still). Propel and sling yourself through a multitude of intricate levels with your suit’s thrusters and grapple hook, leveraging the strange alien fauna and flora. You’ll also have to avoid the apex predators of this world, the colossal and terrifying worms that occasionally descend upon you, turning your escape into a heart-pounding race for survival.

Compete on the Leaderboard

Faster speeds mean greater challenges and more excitement. Quick respawns ensure you’re never far from the action, encouraging rapid iteration and mastery of your trajectory. Compete for supremacy on the leaderboard by shaving precious milliseconds off your best times.

Accessibility Built-In

Not in a try-harding mood? Tailor your experience with adjustable parameters like lives, burst charges, and even game speed and enjoy the journey at your own pace. Immerse yourself in hand-drawn landscapes, from the eerie depths of subterranean caves to the vibrant expanse of a lush jungle, both teeming with alien life.

Endless mode

Try to go as far as possible in a neverending chase with the worms in endless mode, picking up bonuses along the way. But be warned, each time you buff yourself the worm gets stronger too!
