As you commented, it's an exercise in frustration. Although the light effect looks neat, ultimately the game is just about wandering around, hoping something works out.

It's a complete entry, that's more than quite a few managed to do ;)
On the flipside, it is not particular fun to play. Pop a few random events in there and it'd be more interesting.
I am sorry, but I can't somehow get Löve to work. :(
For people that can't figure out how to get it to run: drag the spooky_cavern.love folder onto love.exe.
Doh. I got warped into a wall and was stuck. :( Agreed, it's kind of monotonous... is there a way to win?
Still can't get it to work.
I don't get it, just wander around? Nothing seemed to be happening
Not much gameplay there, some kind of enemies or time counter would make it more fun.
I wandered around aimlessly for a while and than it crashed.
It just says "Love: No game" ?
I gave you N/As but rated your community.
It's not so fun being lost.
The sound was somewhat frustrating. The visuals are pretty appealing, but I'm afraid they can't carry this game on their own. Collision seems weird (only partially related to the visuals?) and the gameplay is confusing.
This isn't much fun at the moment, but could be the basis for something fun.
The game crashes when I go down one screen then try to escape to the left - the warp sound effect plays and I get a blue error screen.
Agreed with above. You've got the framework for something, but not a game as such. Alas!
Apparently I fail at overcoming confusion. Maybe I'll try again later.
