Well there is not much gameplay but I always like to see randomly generated mazes. The music really pumps you up and makes you wish to run faster and faster through the corridors.

Wow that is a large cave.

Love the cave generation code!

Hm, I just got one loooong corridor, and walking to the other end (which took a long time) yielded no score.

It was too slow to be playable for me, and the music was interesting, but sampled too loud.

Something's not working right.

You seem to have used some non-square textures. I get a black screen on startup (title screen?) When I press space the game begins, with texture on floor and ceiling, but non-textured walls.

Other than that, it's a random generated maze. Nothing too innovative, but with added content and working enemies this might get quite creepy.

I got about 1 frame every 2 seconds so I couldn't play unfortunately.

Cave generation is kinda neat, but you move really slowly and everything looks the same, so it's pretty slow.

The movement was too slow for it to be fun, so I gave up before reaching the goal.

Please never hijack the mouse like that (I can't go to the top to move the window, when I switch to another program with Alt+Tab I still can't move the mouse).

I started outside the 'cave' and had to use your W-A trick just to get inside. I saw one enemy who I ran into for fun to see what would happen. Turns out the enemy disappears. I then walked slowly down a long hall until I got bored and then used the wall hack trick to truck it inwards a little. I unfortunately found little player motivation to continue as the music did not afford me the vibe to linger... ;)

The music is awesome. The game itself needs a lot more game.

Cool music.

Though unfortunately rest of game did not work. It was running at around 1fps and all I could see was a wireframe plane :(

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! :)

Yeah, the movement speed is too slow unfortunately. :/ Makes navigating a bit of a pain.
