Crash-landed on an uncharted planet, players must race through underground tunnels filled with alien fauna, flora, and colossal worm predators. With just a mouse click (or controller support), you propel and sling yourself forward using thrusters and a grapple hook, escaping at breakneck speed.

Built for speedrunners, This Is No Cave features an online leaderboard for every level, encouraging mastery and competition.

Key Features:

  • Minimalist one-click gameplay — easy to learn, tough to master.
  • Thrusters + Grapple Hook — fluid movement through intricate levels.
  • Colossal Worms — terrifying predators that turn each escape into a desperate race.
  • Leaderboards for every level — perfect for speedrunning competition.
  • Adjustable Accessibility Options — tweak lives, burst charges, and even game speed.
  • Immersive Hand-Drawn Worlds — from eerie subterranean caves to lush alien jungles.
  • Endless Mode — a survival challenge where every upgrade makes both the player and the worm stronger.
