LD15 — Caverns (14)

Cavern Tycoon LD48 by Kato

I survived for 14 years and I really enjoyed it :)
Without reading the manual, I couldn't really deduce the rules - I just kept building nutrition units to survive.

Cave Ninja by jolle

Hey, that was fun! Amazing mix of liero and worms, plus a neat liquid simulation. I liked the ninjas vs. pirates theme :)

I had great time playing this and would be curious to play more levels.

Charming graphics, good atmosphere. I just got a bit frustrated by jumping - the jump power depends on how long has been the jump button held (instant maximum jump power would be great). Weird glitches also happen when I repeatedly press jump in mid-air.
Also the sudden deaths are a bit annoying - savepoints would be nice.
But these are just little details. I really enjoyed playing it, the game has a potential to develop into something bigger :)

Cave Diver by ondrew

YES! Victory!
Lovely graphics, destroying a shark was fun :)
Some ambient undewater sounds could emphasize the atmosphere.
Also how about some air-capsules and limited air tank? Just in case you wanted to develop the idea further ;)

Spaceship in a Cave by jovoc

The editor is very spiffy indeed and in just 48 hours - great job!

Some thoughts for potential improvements
- delete elements in editor (eraser tool?)
- water currents - drag the ship (via segments?)
- maybe a little bit less bouncing and sliding (the challenge of managing controls could outmatch the challenge of exploration and kill the fun)

Lex Bendover: The Dig by nilsf

Nice intro :) Event though the game looks easy, it was pretty hard to get over those spike pits. I didn't have enough patience, so I wrapped it up at the first screen with the fireball-throwing eye.
And those bird/bat thingies were pretty damn annoying :D

Burrow by Incendia

I enjoyed your game :) Decent graphics and sounds, solid fun. Digging via mouse is quite original and provides an interesting gameplay.

Cave Explorer by adam_smasher

A bit disturbing, but enjoyable. Though it's quite minimalistic, tha narrative pleasantly surprised me.

Coffee Caverns by caseyd

Nice little game :) Bean score display would be handy.

Heart of Gold by L

The concept of the whole level being a planet that rotates is quite amazing. Unfortunately, I haven't played any of the games mentioned in the acknowledgment, so I'm not able to tell, whether it's your original idea or a tribute to some predecessor. If it's yours, I salute you :)

I admit that I didn't have enough patience to actualy finish the game (or am just not enough skilled for this type), but it gave me 15 minutes of a solid fun which I'm grateful for :)

The environment is quite vivid (I loved the pulsating blobs), although sometimes I cursed the savepoints for being too far from each other.

Some sounds would be nice, the dying sequence could be a half shorter (it becomes a bit annoying to wait for it to end).

In any case, I liked it, thumbs up!

Secret Cavern by chuchino

Ohhh, man, I LOVED IT!
I took me nearly 2 hours but I DID IT! :D (even found a top secret gem, thanks to the secret cat ;)
Very polished, though minimalistic.
And hey, it was a pure, brilliant fun! Sometimes I got a bit stuck when further progress depended on a single passage to be found, but nevertheless, thumbs up!

Down Down Down way Down by Eckolin

I wonder, if there's anything except the dwarves and slimes in the cave - some treasures maybe?
Being chased by a growing herd of slimes was fun though :)

mine by zacaj

Interesting idea and its implementation, fluid wagon movement is quite enjoyable :)
The sudden death makes it a bit frustrating after a while - how about a slight damage instead of a death and restart?

Cave of Dinosaurs by AtkinsSJ

Nice idea, I liked the story :D
I got stuck inside a stone a few times, unable to jump, though.
