Description from Steam STEAM

Cavern is a Roguelike Sandbox with RPG elements!

Every situation presents a unique challenge and a unique solution whether you decide to fight or meddle. Each character has the ability to swap out objects in the game at will, along with unique characteristics. As you go deeper into the Cavern, the level generation becomes more chaotic, and you will gain more control...

Break the game by putting objects where they were never intended to be!

Find unique interactions in an immersive world...

Swap a rock into a bomb to clear terrain,

Swap a harmless pot into a slime to fight on your side,

Swap a skeleton's sword into a useless stick,

Swap cobwebs into shiny gems to distract an enemy...

And push the limits of the game with crazy combinations and absurd strategies...

Strap a rocket to your back to run super fast,

Spawn tons of stalactites to one shot enemies,

Swap into stun grenades to stun-lock foes,

Swap ranged enemy projectiles into infinite health potions,

Stack equip-able weapons to get absurd range...

Description from IGDB IGDB

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The player controls a small craft, navigating it through a series of winding caverns and tunnels while shooting or avoiding obstacles. The caverns scroll from the bottom of the screen to the top at a fixed speed, so the player must always move forward. The obstacles filling the tunnels are mostly the eponymous "creatures" and appear as simple icons like smiley faces, floppy diskettes, birds, eyes, apples, bunches of grapes, Pac-Man ghosts, baseball hats, turrets, etc. Many of these objects are animated, but they do not actually move about. The player's craft fires bolts of energy simultaneously in three directions (left, right and forward) that destroy the creatures but consume the ship's energy, tracked by a green bar at the bottom of the screen. Energy is replenished by shooting occasional "tanks" on the tunnel walls. Special objects in the caverns include indestructible Rubik's Cube-like boxes that can be shot to gain extra points, indestructible wriggling snakes (one of the cavern's few mobile opponents), and pulsing energy barriers. The craft is destroyed if it strikes any object or the cavern wall; a new one can be put back into play at any position on the screen. The game ends when the last craft is destroyed or when the player beats the final challenge. The game's introduction promises that "the end battle will be a surprise that no one can miss."
