Timestamp	Since previous	Game	cpowell's comment
		Fake Gold	Some nice ideas here.
		Beacon	Damn, that's a GREAT idea superbly implemented. I enjoyed the deft little touches like the way the water splashes when you land in it.
		Caverns	Nice idea. Managed to get several of the races going, but still had about 5 or 6 to go. Good ambience.
		Candle	On the whole pretty good. Could do with some difficulty progression though as it started to get a bit samey after a few levels. A solid entry and I liked the melting effect.
		Cave Bounce	Innovative mechanic.
		Tentacle	Nice gameplay idea, but could do with a score, or at least something to give a reason to continue. It eventually crashed on me.
		Broken Cave Robot	I liked the lo-tech art style and lighting, and the map was a neat touch.
		Shelter From the Rain	Chilling.
		Caverns of Light	Could do with a little more explanation, but once I figured it out I started to have fun. Apart from the fact the collision detection is a bit off, this is a nice idea and is well implemented on the whole. Great that you included a level editor.
		Bunker	With a bit more time I think you'd have something. Reminds me of Lemmings.
		below the house	My wife and daughter both jumped. Good ending. Problem is, it's a bit one-shot, ie, once you've seen the ending... <br/>Like it a lot.
		Angry Caverns	Nice to see something so original. Good stuff.
		Cavern Escape	Reminds me of DROD, but in real-time. Those damned spiders are too clever for me.
		Dwarven Rock Smash	Fun, and somewhat therapeutic. Who knew that smashing rocks could be so much fun? I'm not particularly good at it, but that's another story.
		Eternal Seeker: Fugue in the Caverns of Doom	Bonus points for doing a rogue-like. I like this a lot.
		Secret Cavern	Rather cute. Nice atmosphere and music.
		Alien Artifact	Pretty good given the time that you spent on it. Has replay factor given that I keep getting only 4 artifacts. Who knew that bubbles could be such bullies?
		Refuge	It's the bastard offspring of Puzzle Bobble and Missile Command, which is certainly not something that I would have expected to work. But it does. Some nice touches in there. I like it a lot. <br/> <br/>Heck, I think it's my co-favourite along with Beacon. <br/>And I scored 129900. Not bad for an old guy.
		Lava Caverns of Doom	Very slick. I liked the way you incorporated "LD48" in several places. I did manage to fall inside the tiles a couple of times though, which I'm sure was not intentional.
		Cevern0048	It was great to see how this game progressed throughout the compo. The final result is polished and slick. Like it.
		NICE CAVE!	Liked the retro graphics, although the movement induced motion sickness in my wife.
		Cave Explorer	I liked the comments, "maybe she will find someone else", etc. Funny. However, it did seem to just crash - at least the window disappeared after I'd been in the dark for a minute or two.
		Steampunk Cavern Crawl Into the Darkness	Nice cavern generator. Mind if I borrow it?
		Cave of Peril	Atmospheric. The idea of being chased by something invisible makes for good dramatic tension.
		Spaceship in a Cave	Rather a slick editor there. If this had been a 72 hour contest I think we'd have seen your game up there with the best.
		Cave Miner	Frame rate was low, so I'm commenting on the post compo version. Your main character is great, with retro sprite animation of the sort that I can only dream of doing.
		Cave Dangerous	Short and sweet.
		mjau's entry (unfinished)	I like the "snow" effect in the background and that's a cute main sprite. <br/>It's unfortunate that the game is clearly unfinished, but I'm looking forward to seeing your entry next time.
		I'm In A Cave	Best music/audio I've encountered so far.
		Cave Fishter	Nicely done. A little tricky to control (I'm one to talk) but I like the concept.
		A CAVE FOR MY BIKINI BABES	Completely daft, but in a good way. Plays like one of those Spectrum/C64 games from what my daughter calls "the olden days". Cute little theme tune too.
		Grue	Hmmmm. I wonder why I liked it so much. I'm tempted to backport it to TRS-80 Level II BASIC. <br/> <br/>Like the humour.
		The Narwhal Bacons At Midnight	My wife and I both enjoyed playing this. It was a bit like playing a Monty Python game, ie, surreal. But it was fun, and that's what counts. <br/> <br/>We liked the messages.
		The Walls are Not Cheese	It's fun to destroy the environment, but it's a bit too short.
		Moleshroomciraptor	Good replay value. I liked the way the dinosaurs tracked you when they could see you.
		Mineral Miner	Quite fun, but the sounds ... well, that's what volume controls are for.
		Cave of Dinosaurs	Nice game mechanic, "shoot rocks so they fall on dinosaurs" but once you get the hang of it it's a bit too easy.
		Cavern Ghost	Nice ambience. I'd be intrigued to see what you would have made if you'd had more time.
		Cavern Chase	Like SpaceManiac said, the character looks a bit like Snoopy. Could do with more variation, plus a check for jumps that are a bit too long.
		Ninja Spelunker	That tunnel effect is a nice use of Flash.
		Sufi	Good musical theme - actually very good - but the gameplay needs more work.
		Adrift	Smooth with a clean style.
		Coffee Caverns	Not a great fan of installers for this type of game. <br/> <br/>I thought the pacing was a little off, ie, it got too hard too quickly. However, it's solid enough and you could develop it further if you add a bit of variety and fixed the pacing.
		Grav Cavern	Agree with the rest of the comments - asking us to install Panda is a bit much. Sorry.
		YACF (Yet Another Cave Flyer)	Could do with better instructions, but once I figured out what I had to do it was quite fun with a catch tune. Couldn't really get it to work multiplayer though.
		Cavern of Damned	Same issue with maximum of 10 downloads.
		GoblinHome	It's a little slow paced yet a bit too quick to pan. I like the animations though, and the pathfinding is reasonable. Looking forward to your next LD entry.
		Kung-Fu Kaverns	Let's put it this way. Every time I thought I'd quit and go and rate this game I just had to have another go. It's a nice little diversion and it certainly helps your case that I'm a sucker for the TRS-80 look.
		Clocksey and the Cavern	Quite fun on the whole. I like the simple animation when double-jumping, but found it quite hard to time some of the jumps ... are those spikes magnetic?
		Cavern-Ball	I had the Love binaries from another entry, so running the game wasn't a problem. But what was wrong with the sound?
		Key-Verne (A journey to the center of the Earth)	I think I need an AZERTY keyboard to play the left player.
		Treacherous Caverns	Well, it's certainly different, but when I tried to play it there was no one else there.
		The Caverns of WIll-o'	Nice graphics, but not a lot to do.
		Cavern Pong	Crashed on me when loading the first time, but was ok the second time. I spent a lot of time watching the ball and not a lot of time doing anything, but thumbs up for getting something working with unfamiliar tools.
		Brinie	Well, it's original. I didn't have much influence over the Brinie, so ultimately it was frustrating waiting to be able to capture it.
		Cavern Defense	It's a shame that you couldn't get this to work successfully. I could have sworn that one of the guys was saying, "f*cking and country" when I clicked on him, but nice that you got some sound effects in there.
		Bat Cave Adventures!	No binary in the windows version, but it ran ok as I had the pre-requisites installed. Like adam_smasher said, if the bat had fluttery controls, or possibly gravity, it would have made things far more interesting.
		caveskid	Good to have the percentage in there, as that's what kept me going. I'm beginning to think that's something that all LD48 games need - some sort of progress indicator.
		A Matter Of Life Or Death At The Caverns Of Deep And Dark	S'alright. A bit slow though and I keep getting stuck in walls. Procedural caverns are good. Keep it up.
		The Evil Dark Cavern Which Leads Straight To Death	No Mac, no can play. Screenshots look intriguing though.
		Cave Trip	Pity you couldn't finish it.
		Cave Mushrooms	Very colourful. You have a distinct style there.
