-- For controls, look inside of the information file I added to the jar, it gives you information like how to toggle the shop interface --

Collapsing Cave is a my first ever game I have created. It is based around a ship which is trying to escape the depths of the underground as it is returning from a voyage. The ship is out of ammo, and it is up to you to keep it alive. Steer the ship out of the path of the rocks to keep it safe. Along your path, you will gain coins, with coins you can upgrade the ship through the coins shop.

-- Hope you enjoy --

Thanks to my good friend Dwizzed for helping me with some of the graphics!

The background graphic is really weird and distracting, but the game mechanic is quite nice.

The background was extremely annoying since it changed between some frames all the time. The game was almost impossible to play because of it, my head hurts.

If I tried to put that aside the game was pretty good. I think the shop was a good idea, but I didn't test it that much because of the annoying background.

I am not really enjoyed gameplay graphics, but that shop art was pretty good. Everything else is more or less good.

I am going to disable the animated background due to safety reasons while playing

your web link just leads to a .rar download. Is there an actual web version of this available? .rars are a bit of a hassle for me.

The controls on the ship once you got the thruster was interesting and innovative. I like the detail in the player ship but the background leaves a lot to be desired.

Was fun to dodge the rocks (especially with thruster movement although I wasn't sure that was helping really) but the lag made it a title difficult.

More graphical or sound feedback in general for the actions you take or incur (damage/score/menus)
