Cave Crawler holds a special place in my heart because it's one of the first games I played on Steam. I would have loved to give it a recommendation, but the slide after jumping is atrocious. You have a higher chance of dying from the slide than you do the enemies and the spikes. I suppose it was fun when I wasn't dying from being too close to the edge of the platform,

nice
Cave Crawler is a free short game with 7 achievements, overall it's pretty fun, if you know what you are doing you can beat it in 20 minutes as it's pretty easy.
Very good little platformer, and the addition of shooting spices it up. I enjoyed it a lot, but found it unreasonably hard, so I won't be playing it again probably. Do give it a try if you're in for a challenge.

peter had me pissed
good gameplay but the game itself is way too short
I first played this back in early 2022, very solid first game by the developer. No BS or stupid paywalls, if it were longer and had a bit more content, I'd gladly even pay for the game. the sequel (Cave Crawler II... duh) also looks promising
This game despite being free is far more than i expected. Sure it takes about 20 minutes to beat but it is fun if u are bored and looking for something that is under 100mb 8/10
