Breakneck Caverns is "a crank-powered cave flyer for Playdate." You "turn the crank to keep your little ship aloft, and fly as deep into the caverns as you dare." The developer says it "started as a game I played with pencil and paper when I was ten", and that every run is a new cave.
There are four caverns, each with its own dangers: The Hollows (shaking stalactites, boulders, spikes), The Flooded Deep (a rising and falling tide and leaping fish), The Frozen Rift (a narrow, twisting crack in the ice, taller than the screen) and The Ruins (stepped stonework and crushers that slam on a beat). Modes are Expedition (8 handmade levels, ending in a collapse you have to outrun, with ghost racing and 32 hidden bonus stars), a Daily cave with a streak, and Endless, including a "Grand Tour" through every cavern.
