Cave is a Japanese video game company, known in the West primarily for its incredibly bullet hell scrolling shooter. Cave remains one of the most active makers of arcade shoot- em-ups in the Japanese market. The company was formed primarily from the remains of Toaplan, and several of their early games are considered to be spiritual successors to prior Toaplan works, in particular Batsugun.
They are also known for its Engrish warning screen after turning on the game ( Violator and subject to severe penalties and will be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam ).
