NavaTron Game Studios is an independent game developer and publisher based in The Hague, the Netherlands. We create focused, handcrafted games that are easy to understand, satisfying to master, and respectful of the player’s time.
Our story
CaveRace first appeared on MS-DOS in 1997. Its ten caves, tactical bombs, treasure, Miner, and alien invaders established the rules that still define the series.
NavaTron Game Studios now develops and publishes the modern CaveRace releases. CaveRace 1 carefully restores the original campaign for current Windows and Mac computers. CaveRace 2 expands the idea into 25 new caves, four underground worlds, medals, upgrades, and deeper tactical play.
The original MS-DOS and Windows editions remain available through the CaveRace Classics archive.
What matters to us
- Handcrafted play — levels are deliberately designed, tested, and refined.
- Clear rules, meaningful choices — depth should come from play, not needless complexity.
- A complete release — the current CaveRace games work offline and contain no accounts, advertising, or in-app purchases.
- Accessible challenge — remappable controls, assisted difficulty, and visual comfort settings help more people play.
- Preservation — our history remains available alongside the modern games.
