Timestamp	Since previous	Game	phren's comment
		Tentacle	Hmm, couldn't download, too many connections or something. :(
		FallingTown	Quite a nice game, maybe sound effects could've made the events in the game more recognizable as the graphics were a bit coder-stylish. :P
		below the house	Somehow the game was really jittery for me, a bit unplayable because of it. Other than that there was a nice atmosphere in the game (felt artsy, especially the start).
		Ascent	Some spots were just awfully hard. :P The controls were a bit too twitchy for my liking. Pretty good level design and nice graphics. Quite a good game.
		Steampunk Cavern Crawl Into the Darkness	Didn't find a single monster. :o (or then I didn't recognize them as monsters?) Shame it's unfinished, could've been great with another day's work!
		Into the Pit: The Endless Caverns	Nice game! Would've liked more types of enemies. Juggling the bats was a nice element. Very polished compared to many of the other games. :)
		Polluted Caverns	Looks very nice, shame there isn't really much to do. The mouse cursor in the game and my own mouse cursor had a strange offset. Dunno what the rules say about a non-public engine, but what the heck. :P
		Thingy Munching	Very cool graphical style. To be honest it was the only thing that made me play through this. :P Not really much for gameplay and I feel like the cavern is way too big for so few "thingies". Only found one thingy without hints. The audio suits the game. Nice job on the air bubbles. :D
		Cavernous Shooter!	Quite a fun game, and nice graphics! The controls are smooth and it feels very polished. Now add some action music and you've got a hit! :P
		Super Bean Kid	Huge package. :D Quite a basic platformer and I don't know how it's about caverns. Cool music and a nice style overall. Very polished.
		"Life is Guano and Then You Die"	Wow what a game! :D Really nice graphics. Sometimes the controls were a bit too slow for my liking. Nice idea and a great implementation of it.
		The Walls are Not Cheese	The only thing that was missing were the levels. :P Cool "prototype", needs content and audio to rock though. Nice particles flying around. :)
		Mineral Miner	Ouch, the monsters come through walls! I thought the "bumping into stuff" sound effect was pretty annoying. :/ Nice idea but could use a bit more polish.
		Excavatorrr	Somebody has been playing spelunky! :D <br/> <br/>I feel like the ladders could've gone up by default, would've probably resulted in a lot less getting stuck by accident. Got a while to get used to the controls. Nice game for such a short time!
		Cave Diver	Really cool effect when the shark dies. :D Nice original game although I felt like the hitboxes of either the tentacles and/or the diver were a bit too large considering it's one kill and you're dead.
		Cave of Dinosaurs	Hehe, cool idea! The first few times when I killed a dinosaur were fun, but after a while it got a bit repetitive. :P I think Comtemno thinks you should be able to shoot the dinosaurs. :D
		Mole Cave Tactics!	Quite promising, shame you didn't finish. At one stage half the screen went black, did not know how to get out of that. As you said, the interface was pretty terrible. :D
		Cavern Chase	Fun game to play, very polished. The jump sound got a bit monotonous after a while though. :P
		Ninja Spelunker	Quite a nice graphical effect you've achieved. The mouse control is sometimes a bit unintuitive, if you for example need to get to the other side of the tunnel really fast. Good job on having audio even though it's not that great-sounding. :D
		Adrift	A shame it's unfinished, could've been really good. The simple graphical style works for me. Took quite a long time to find the cube, since the caverns didn't exactly have any landmarks to follow. Maybe something more action-based would've been appropriate for the music. :P
		Cavern Copter	Would've been quite a lot of fun with tighter controls. Great small effects like the copter crash animation. Very nice game, other than the controls.
		Cavern Relics	Weird game. :P The "field of view" thing was a bit too jittery in my opinion. Some original elements not found in other platformers here.
		Coffee Caverns	The guy had a nice death effect. :P I didn't really get coffee and boulders like you did in your screenshot. For me they came in waves spanning the whole screen. Seems like your eat picture is aligned a few pixels left of the normal picture, since it always gets displaced when I eat something. Pretty basic game, good job for finishing though!
		Down Down Down way Down	Needs a hp bar! If there is music, I didn't hear it. Felt a bit humiliated when the slime continued dancing around me after I died! :P
		Clocksey and the Cavern	Props on having music, even though it didn't really make any sense melodically. :D Simple basic platformer that's pretty well done. Some of the level design is just painful though. :P
		Cavern-Ball	Nice pinball game, needs more content though. Argh, I hate the openings on the sides though, the ball seems to magically drift into them all the time. :D The sounds were a bit annoying at times, but at least you tried. :P
		Burrow	Nice game. Sometimes the collision detection was a bit buggy, but it didn't really hurt the gameplay that much. It would've probably felt more "real" if you could only mine the tiles that are next to you, instead of the whole map. You could just go stand on a block with the gold pick-axe and kaboom all the other tiles to find out where the stuff is. :P The gem and time icons look really cool!
		Cave Invader	I thought I was somebody on the left too, luckily I read the comment here. :P My eyes started to hurt after a while, but it's a good, original idea that was pretty nice to play.
		The Caverns of WIll-o'	Where are the instructions? :D <br/> <br/>In the end I figured out CTRL shoots. Nice shadows. There isn't really much gameplay here though. Could be great with a bit more work. :)
		Cave In	You managed to create a more enjoyable experience in two hours than many do during the whole weekend (let alone a few years!). The game is pretty simple and nothing new, but it's well done and in this case it's enough. :P
		"Conway's Game of Caverns"	A bit too slow paced for me. Started outside the cavern, first challenge was how to get inside. :D Good music and thanks for including the VS workspace too! :)
		Cave Trip	Shame it's unfinished, your original idea sounded fun. You've achieved quite a nice simple tunnel effect here!
		F = ma	The music gives it a weird touch that I think I like. Somehow controlling the guy was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Also got a bit of an headache while playing. :P I think the app lost focus when I died, I had to click the screen every time in order to get it to take my input.
