Cavity Busters

About

Cavity Busters casts you as a rogue tooth fighting through chaotic bullet patterns in a roguelike shooter. Navigate procedurally generated levels dodging enemy fire while battling armored Pearly Knights. Strengthen your abilities by collecting upgrades and weirdly beneficial diseases that tweak movement and combat. The action leans into tight platforming and rapid decision making with each run reshaping the challenges ahead. The game’s quirky aesthetic and punishing difficulty have earned it a cult following on PC and consoles. With a 78% on Metacritic and over 10,000 Steam copies sold in its first year, it appeals to players who enjoy high-risk bullet dodging and permadeath mechanics. Standout features include its irreverent humor and the way disease effects force creative strategies against waves of hostile microbes. Available on Switch and PS5 since 2022 it remains a niche pick for action fans seeking something different.
