How to play Grain Glitchers Cave Runner
This guide will provide a quick summary of the game and offer essential tips to kickstart your subterranean adventure.
Grain Glitchers: Cave Runner - Quick Start Guide
Welcome to Grain Glitchers: Cave Runner, a casual side-scrolling game where you collect crystals to send your fellow Glitchers into the depths of mysterious caves in search of scientific knowledge and valuable materials.
🪨 Core Objective
Collect crystals during your run to exchange them for coins. These coins are essential — they will become the foundation of future rewards once the web-based system is implemented.
💰 Upgrades and Progression
Spend your coins to unlock permanent upgrades such as:
Extra lives to survive longer.
Faster movement speed to go deeper into the cave.
These upgrades improve your runs and help you achieve higher scores.
🎮Controls:
Getting a handle on the controls is your first step to mastering the game.
Movement: Use the on-screen controls to move your character.
Shooting: Initially, you'll focus on evasion. However, by purchasing "Right Hand Items" (weapons) from the Shop, you'll unlock projectiles and fight back against your foes.
Special Abilities: As you unlock new gear and power-ups, you may gain access to additional abilities. Keep an eye out for how to use them!
🧥 Cosmetic Items
You can also use coins to purchase items that customize your character’s appearance:
Hats, clothes, accessories, eyes, and more.
These items are purely cosmetic in the current version but may gain utility in future updates.
🔫 Right Hand Items – Your Weapons
Right Hand items are not just cosmetic — they unlock projectile attacks that allow you to fight and defend yourself from enemies. These work identically in both the NFT and non-NFT versions of the game.
🖼️ NFT Integration
A new feature now allows players to connect their crypto wallet and use their NFTs as playable skins:
Available in the APK (Android) and Windows launcher versions only.
This is a cosmetic-only feature and does not provide any gameplay advantage.
Items purchased in-game do not alter the appearance of your NFTs.
❗Note: The Play Store version does not include NFT functionality due to store policy restrictions.
6. Enemies and Obstacles:
The cave is teeming with a variety of enemies, each with its own attack patterns. You'll also encounter deadly traps. Learn their behaviors to anticipate their moves and stay one step ahead. Remember, in the beginning, a single hit can end your run!
