About the game

Bullet Cave is a minimal space shoot 'em up. You'll need to balance the ability to make the cave walls grow and shrink to get as far as you can.

This was a side-project game that was intended to be a small demo but ended up being a fully realized game with scores, unlocks and more.

Big thanks to Brian Follick for the original music and all the guys that contributed some ship designs. The Pico-8 is a great console/language and the community is top rate, thanks for all the support.
