The game is barely playable- Other than that I don't see how you could ever make an interesting puzzle with these mechanics. ABCD are not good controls you should pick buttons that are close to each other on the keyboard.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD29 → Spider Miner

Didn't see any spiders in the game. Decent graphics. I think the ABCD keyboard buttons as door triggers was kinda funny choice. Specially the A button because game had WASD controls as well. So as you triggered A trigger, you moved the miner to the left as well. Anyway, nice job!
The door triggers are an interesting puzzle mechanic. Would have been cool to see that explored a bit more with a couple different levels.
I appreciate the effort, but didn't enjoy the control setup.
I think you have the groundwork for a good puzzle. Definitely needs to be tweaked to make it more difficult though.
I'm confused. I didn't see any spiders. And once I made it to the control room, nothing happened.
Not much more than a moving (and spinning :P) player sprite and some controllable doors at the moment. I feel like the mechanic could be taken somewhere with lava or the aforementioned spiders though. Maybe both. Or maybe the game should take place in space!

Not sure what was the puzzle :v. Got to the control room and nothing happened :v
Nice job, okay graphics. Where are the spiders though? The controls are a bit weird, but whatever!
