The FC Caverns A is an area accessible from the Techno Condominium. It's one of the three parts of the FC Caverns.
Features
The world's aesthetic is very similar to that of the Alien Cellar, complete with the color scheme and the strange machines, but considerably glitched-up and distorted. Strange blue tears are visible in the stones of the ground, and the world is overlaid by a sweeping scanline effect along with a static humming. Occasionally, the cute sound effects of Urotsuki's jump will glitch out, being replaced with glitchy sound effects. Rarely, going through the doors will lead to a small room where the platforms gradually disappear, where all the screen's edges loop around. Going through the door here leads to whatever room the player is supposed to enter next.
The area is split up into two separate sections. The first one is a linear platformer to the left, though there's a bit more exploration to be had; by using the Penguin and Fairy effects in tandem, the player can dive under the water here and explore the underwater caves. Finding a break in the rightmost wall down here will lead the player to a large abyss, where Urotsuki cannot go any further. The second, accessible from a door in the first, is an area where Urotsuki climbs vertically, looping around the screen. Climbing to the very top will lead to a door to the Flooded Dungeon.
Directions
Nexus → Marijuana Goddess World → Dark Room → Snowy Forest → Techno Condominium → FC Caverns A
Trivia
- The TV-headed NPC (also present in FC Caverns C) appears to be a reference to VVVVVV, a platformer with a similar aesthetic to this area.
- The shift menu is automatically activated here, even if you disabled it.
- Version 0.119b Patch 5 contained a bug which allowed out of bounds exploration, which resulted in players being able to see debug rooms, FC Caverns C, and other in development worlds earlier than intended.

Beep boop... Fancy meeting you here!
This room looks impossible to navigate without flying effects, and it would be if you couldn't loop around the screen.
Diving deep underwater.
I guess this is where the caves just... break. You can't go any further here.
A glitch in the system, I see?
