About the Game

Cave Crashers is a chaotic top-down arcade shooter game where two players each take control of a star-nosed mole, and cooperate to pilot a mining rig through bug infested caves. The goal is to progress as far as you can, collecting valuable shards and gems to increase your score while defending your RIG from various bugs using your turrets. You need to frantically manage making repairs, reloading the turrets, and fixing the rapidly overheating engine, all while trying to not get frustrated at your partner in crime.
