About

Cave Dave is an action platformer in its purest form: armed with a limited supply of ropes and bombs - and your wits and cunning - the aim is to plunder the three caves in each system to find Dave's beloved PSP while avoiding the many enemy inhabitants which lurk in the darkness. There's even a secret system, should you have the chops to unlock it...
