I too found myself stuck in the wall on the third level, and agree with the comments about not being able to see very far ahead and to add a texture to the floor. The distance to move till the screen started scrolling also seemed a little more on the right than the left. Nice managing to fit zombies in though.
That was simple and enojyable, though I feel I've played something similar before. Could have used a bit more depth (gameplay wise, not the view) perhaps, and having the instructions on the screen would be nice (the first time I clicked, promptly died, and wondered what had happened). And I have to say I freaked out wondering where to go as I approached the end and there was no track left :P
Not bad but as people have said it is a bit vanilla. Was quite stuck till I realized you could double jump, and that pressing the second jump quickly highly boosts the height. All in all not a bad 7 hour effort.
Very punishing. I'd almost suggest slowing the gameplay down a bit to make it a bit more playable, perhaps introducing faster enemies later on in the game.
Agree with people on the need for some depth cue to help skirting close to pillars. But man, zooming through the cavern at level 8 and 9 really felt awesome! Rawkingest caverns of the comp!
Any game where you run into bears to beat them up is all right by me. I did get one random cave though where I was cut off in a tiny starting section. I kind of wanted to be able to see where I'd been and the edge of my sight, but I guess not having that was half the fun.
Agree with the controls being rough, though I was stubborn enough to make it to the end. There are so many games out there in this genre that you need to have everything pretty sharp for it to compare.
Some quick fun. I was a bit overwhelmed when I first went from the simple first screen to the busy cave, but reasonably quickly worked out what was going on. The red text in game was a bit hard to read on the background too and there was some weirdness when tunneling back and forth between the same screens. I think though that with a few more game mechanics this could be quite fun.
One simple suggestion would be decreasing a little the light a little as each building is building is destroyed and having non destroyed buildings as light emitters too (like the bullets). You could also show the different buildings health by how many windows they have lit. Fun game though :)

Cave without Story by Noyb
Control felt a fair bit too jittery for the precision movement required. A little acceleration curve would work wonders for playability imo.

Would have kind of appreciated a mention of the blatant nsfw lyrics of the song in the description.

Cave In by Daz
Rawkin 2 hour entry.
I have to say I was expecting a lot more flyer entries than I've seen so far.

Fake Gold by BlademasterBobo
Seriously, that was great. Some weirdness with the zoom and things, but a surprising amount of fun. Pretty original take on the theme too.
