I think u could write some posts about your development. I didn't like the controls of the spaceship.

I liked that you included multiplayer. Nice simple game.
Hotseat games are always very welcome! I was actually looking for some that supported more than 4 players at one pc. We will have lots of fun with this at the next family meeting. :)
The song is also very catchy.
Very amazing game, until 8 players on a computer, that is the kind of game I search. The 1 dimension controling is the center of this game.
But I had to modify your code on the linux version to play:
on cave.py I added:
from copy import copy
and changed : self.rect = rect.copy() in self.rect = copy(rect) because it didn't work.
my 2c
Only played it 1-player, but quite pretty considering how simple the graphics are.
Managed about 60 seconds. :D
I acually enjoyed this a lot!
The first time I died, and the game quit. Most people will never try your game again after that. I'm glad I did though, because there's some meat on there, but you said it yourself: yet another cave flyer.
Colorful version of a classic, and the added multiplayer makes it worthwhile. Nothing surprising, but solid.
I can see this being fun to play with 8 people around the same keyboard. The music is fun to listen to, too.
Oh, and to clarify yanngordon's comments below:
He had to change the line:
self.rect = rect.copy()
to
self.rect = copy(rect)
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.
The multiplayer element is a nice idea. The music is simple but adequate. Not a lot to it and not particularly innovative, but nice job. Maybe add some items or strategy elements for the multiplayer.
Yay, HotSeat is good. Instant start is not :)
First time I fell straight down. On second try managed 55.565 seconds. Also, there's no way to restart a game but to close and rerun?
Ditto Endurion's comments. I rather liked the style of the cave walls, and I wished the ship fit the style a bit more. High score would be nice for singleplayer.
This looks like a great party game. I didn't actually test with friends it but I will next time I have a few people around the PC.
I'm glad the music can be disabled :) I liked it at first but not after a few minutes.
This is pretty neat. I wonder how something like this would work with a constant scroll rate and wing flapping, as if we're controlling a bird in a cave?
Not fun. I can't figure out how to control the ship. I've been able to get it to move some, but nothing is consistent. Multiplayer is a great idea, but I never got the chance to try it out since I can't even figure out solo. Better instructions next time.
Interesting way to do multiplayer! I liked that. With one person, though, it's not much fun (though it's an interesting challege to try and do multiple ships at the same time).
