On the menu, you have to press Z, which isn't explained anywhere (except in the instruction menu, which you can only read if you know that you must press Z to enter it). Anyway, while the key mapping took me a bit to get used to, at least it isn't WASD. The graphics are super cute, and the gameplay/control pretty smooth. The enemies encountered have varied behavior, and the level is filled with interesting things to discover. If I could remap keys to jump with up arrow, I could even see me playing this for a while, just for the pleasure of it.

The best game since load runner for the NES. 10/10
Fun game. Love the graphics. I wish you were able to jump and swing the pickaxe at enemies. Had no problems with it otherwise.
cool art! :)

Awesome little game, if not terribly original. If you could swing the pickaxe and jump at the same time, or jump on enemies, it would have a better flow I think. Graphics and animations are top notch :)

Great game! It's very fun, and has nice graphics. It reminds me of Spelunkey.
Love the visuals! Pixeley goodness!
I got a score of $1061. Amazing graphics and great menu graphics especially.

Now that's some nice high-quality sprites that you've got there. You are a skilled pixel artist my friend. The only thing that the game could use is maybe some music, but it still feels polished without it.

Really nice pixel art! I was a little sad there was a time limit because I wanted to explore the level more :(

It's so much fun that I hate that time limit.
Platforming is so smooth! Movement is little bit slow, considering that the character is in a hurry. I think s/he is just being careful, but whatever.
My complaints. The pickaxe response is so slow because of the animation, feels so heavy, and its range is so short. Also I can't hit while in the air, which forces me to wait until they're at the right position.
This was so amazing! Love the graphics.

amazing graphics and animations. my only complaint is the instruction screen. it's a big wall of text that punches you right in the eyes. otherwise 10/10

Awesome entry! Lovely art, good controls, and having to balance fighting and looting is nice. Too bad there isn't music...
Very good job!

The spritework is amazing. Very clean in crispy style. :) It's a hard game though o.o
After a while you'll learn to deal with the bats. I found that running back and letting them come at your level helps. With a bit more time you could really polish this into a neat game, the powerup mechanic is there, it just needs more of the same. ^^
Not bad. Interesting concept with "treasure rougelike" =)
My only gripe is freezing in place while attacking. Really polished in art and character movement.
