Map of Cave Game

Features

Cave Game is an area with a set of cavern rooms with a simplified pixel-art style that plays like a platformer game. In this area, Muma must jump through rooms and avoid spikes and enemies that will cause her to take one point of damage. If she is damaged five times, she will "die" and get sent back to the game console in Monochrome Building from which the area is accessed. However, there are pink crosses around the cave that will fully heal Muma when walked past, similar to the crosses in the Retro Dungeon.

At the beginning of the game, Muma will only have one jump. There will be a doorway in the northeastern corner of the starting room, though it can't be reached until later. Following the pink arrow to proceed forward, Muma will be taken to room 1-2 (see annotated map) with an unreachable coin and two enemies to dodge. Room 1-4 contains a cross that will heal Muma, while room 1-5 contains a pit with a downward-pointing arrow. Going into the pit and passing through its obstacles will lead to room 2-6 which has a smiling face made of blocks and the Winged Boots Memory. Collecting the Winged Boots gives Muma the ability to double jump as well as change the area's music. Although not initially looking possible, there is a way to get on top of the smiley face after obtaining the Winged Boots memory.

[Show/Hide]

Backtracking after gaining the ability to double jump gives Muma access to the coin as well as the doorway in the beginning room, which leads to the Jarred Rose. Continuing right and ignoring the pit where the Winged Boots were located will lead to an advanced platforming section (this is 1-8 and onwards) with small platforms and many spikes. Completing this section will lead you to a door back to Monochrome Building.

Trivia

Many things about this map were very different when it was first released in v10.0, including:
- It had the old music from Undersea Expanse as a placeholder until v30.1 when it was given the Caveat song. The Cavetoo was then added shortly later in v30.4.
- It was connected to the Memory Room as a nexus world until v12.0.
- This map had 3 less rooms in the advanced section as well, with the room with the bats (1-8) being the only one present.
  - The room with the bats is missing decorative background tiles in it as well.
- Coin #10 was not present yet.
  - These last two differences were added in v13.0, although Coin #10 would be present where the door to Jarred Rose is currently. It would be moved to make way for this door in v31.1.
There is a screenshot of this map in development that was submitted to the screenshot of the week on the French RPG Maker forums that shows a very different first room for the world, having the door back to the Memory Room that other worlds use and a different platform and enemy layout.
Coin #10 is collectible with only 1 memory to allow all coins to be collected without collecting a single memory, which triggers a message in First Steps.
The video game console that teleports you to this world in Monochrome Building used to be located in a cabin within Red Sands B Settlement until v31.1.
The Your Turn event was added in v32.2 as a reference to the Your Turn rooms that were left as dead ends for other creators to place their worlds in during the development of the game. It was originally placed at the leftmost tile of the smiley face room but it was likely moved because it was fairly plausible for someone to accidentally go into the world when trying to find a way to jump on top of the smiley face. In addition to this, no music played in the event during v32.2.
The codebase for this world was reused and modified for Sidescrolling World in Collective Unconscious and a project made by the same developer Qb!k called Trinity Blade.
