SYNOPSIS

caveexpress [option]

DESCRIPTION

Caveexpress is a classic 2D platformer with physics-based gameplay and dozens of levels. Master your pedal-powered flying machine to pick up packages from your cave-dwelling clients and drop them off at the collection point.

But beware! Mighty mastodons, terrifying pterodactyls and others would rather see you extinct.
