Cavernous by aeonofdiscord

made by aeonofdiscord for LD25 (COMPO)

Defend your dungeon from infinite adventurers. Use WASD or the arrow keys to move around, 1-3 to select abilities, and Space to perform actions.

Didn't have time to put in all the stuff I intended to (inc. goats); may add more to this later.

The Linux version requires SDL 1.2 as well as SDL_Image and SDL_Mixer. 32-bit and Windows versions should be up soon.

Old-school raycaster look! And ran wonderfully for me under Linux.

My main worries: no inertia in the controls -- feels too direct (see, for example, wolf3d and doom both have a bit of head-bob and a bit of "slide" when you release which makes things feel better).

Knock-back on weapons might also improve the "weightless" feel to the combat.

@ix: Damn, those are some good suggestions.

...might want to at least include the source so others can compile it for their platforms... other than that, it looks great!
