Great graphics (I really, really liked the UI design), hideous sound effect, really short game. This sums it up nicely.

radix

Aw, what a cocktease. Starts out brilliant, I wish you'd had more time to add some length.

doohan

Grahpics are great, it's just a bit too short though :(

hybridmind

I like the contrast between the level art style and the main characters style. Seems like a great start, obviously it is just very short. When it starts to become intriguing it is over. :) Great look and feel work (game and UI.)

glever

Yeah, started good, but was short and lacked an explosion effect.

noyb

I was hoping this would be longer! Very promising start. Going back to the surface every time you needed a new bomb would get old fast, though.

fantasymaster

The game wouldn't run for me.

drymarti111

The font is so tiny! I really like the art style of the cave, though.

galinho

Nooooo I was having fun til it ended out of nowhere. Nice job regardless.

wicked

Very short - I was amused by the sound though, and the bat, and you have some interesting collision problems when jumping into the mountain :)
I was disappointed there wasn't a bomb sound effect though.

felsiland

Fun, short. I like the jumping sound. Just curious, but what was wrong with that bug?

sol_hsa

Really promising start =)

kobel

Oh, this game is so short. I kind of like it, but it's so short, and there's basically no choices involved. I hope you'll build on this, it could be a fun exploration platformer.

sparky

Awww, looks nice and promising.

And then, bam! end! There seem to be some collision bugs. With more level and items this could be quite good.

nitram_cero

Aw, I won already? It was pretty short, but it looked promising. I tried to see what happens if you lose all of your health, but I never found enough bats. Nice graphics! The little miner looks pretty cool.

http://kittay.ca/fydo-LD15.zip not working atm, will probably try again later.

entar

Too short. Good graphics, but it could use some music, and gfx+sound for explosions.

angermango

Very fun but I was unable to die.

simon

Cave miner sprite is hilarious. Wish you had had time to finish the game, the concept was quite cool and I was really enjoying it. Lack of bomb explosion + sound was a bit of a let down. Jumping was a bit extreme.

funkyjive

Cute, but, uh, lacking in length. I'm guessing it was intended to be longer, but you didn't have time to do the level design necessary? Honestly, this is a pretty good starting point for a basic metroidvania-style game.

cpowell

Short and sweet.

julian

too short, needs more explosions.

sparky

This is small, but pretty complete feeling. Hand drawn environments was a neat decision. Did you do a tile map over that for collision, or is it using the drawing?

jpfed

I loved the graphical style, and think this could be a good start for a great game.

garrig12

I missed the explosion sound...

farman-farout

Wow, that was over fast - though if the level is as hand-drawn as it looks, I guess it's not that surprising. Still, it's very promising, and could be awesome if you ever expand it. :D

foureyes

Cute. Too bad you didn't have more content. I would have liked to keep playing.

morre

Lovely graphics. The gameplay would have been pretty decent if there had the game been more challenging. Some more action wouldn't hurt as well.

Well done! :)

ondrew

The background graphics is super pretty.
