Problem Machine

I really like the aesthetic of this one, even if the graphics are super simple. It reminds me of the Gameboy Kirby game. Also that NPC creeps me out!

Endurion

Looks stylish :)

Also I hoped that the NPC gave me something for that one weird wall piece. But suddenly my hero lost his motivation ;)

The download doesn't seem to work for me - will check again later.

Hempuli

Same here - download not working.

Tenoch

Nice looking but a bit boring in the end. Maybe some ominous msic would have set the atmoshpere even more.

Noyb

Trying to download in Firefox 2 just left me with a local copy of a Ludum Dare website. Worked in IE, though.

I like the monochrome aesthetic. With some more variety and ambient sounds, I can see this being genuinely creepy.

Entar

Same problem as Noyb (brought me back to this page again) in Google Chrome.
Anyway, cool game, though that lightbulb could do without the flashing. Also, I agree with Kobel - that NPC is creepy! He just keeps watching me with those eyes, like "Wuuahhhh" - I can't do it. :P

For thoose of you who have problems first go to http://www.freewebs.com/filenotfound99/ and then download http://www.freewebs.com/filenotfound99/blackcave.zip as (his) freewebs doesn't allow linking zip files from external pages.

For the actual game I had trouble navigating since there was no feedback whatsoever if I was walking or not, so circling the cursor around the avatar like a radar game some hint how your surrounding looked like. Then I found the light and got a headache.

Thanks sirGustav for pointing out the referrer catch. There are million hostings out there, that just work. Please choose next time one some other one.

The lightbuld was really epileptic :). I liked the exploring of the cave and the general feeling.
