Navigate a hollow planet.
Avoid lasers.
Collect alien artifacts.
Pilot your spaceship from the landing pad at the bottom of a mine shaft on a remote planet to the planet's surface. Pick up luminum crystals along the way that can be traded for upgrades, and if you’re lucky you’ll collect the parts of some alien artifact that are scattered throughout the caverns. But watch out for those mining lasers, and keep an eye on your fuel supply!
Cavernaut is a cave flyer, inspired by classic titles like Lunar Lander or Thrust, reimagined for todays mobile devices. Using smooth tilt & touch controls, you'll have to make it through 5 levels with increasing difficulty before you reach the planet's surface.

In the press
“It made me feel like I was actually the commander of a mission making important decisions, rather than a dude sitting on the toilet screwing around with an iPhone game.”
“Cavernaut proves to be quite challenging yet satisfying.”
“... subterranean randomly-generated fun.”
“A perfect coffee break title that has the addictive components of games from the old days.”
