I drown a lot.

Thanks for playing vinull! The key is getting a good start - I did tweak the speed of the rising water just before submission as I thought it was too easy! You can 'double' jump your way up from walls if you get the timing right.

Cool game.

I found myself enjoying this a lot. Would have liked a High Score or something to see how I did compared to my previous attempts.

Tough game. But a real game!

marcus_siactro 2014-04-28 13:45

After I realized that you can waalljump I hade great fun with this one! :)

Really hard! Very cool mechanic but it's so fast, even with double jumping I keep drowning. I would add the ability to dig on the tile above you and also let you stay in the water longer before you die.
I also love the sprite :)

Wow very hard game. Maybe give a little more time before the water arrives?

ohfiddlediddle 2014-04-28 14:02

Some kind of height score would have made this much more addicting, good work though. :)

superzac 2014-04-28 14:52

Good mechanic controls are solid, but the water is really fast!

Poor bob

lamphj 2014-04-28 20:56

Very cool game... the water moved too fast for me :(

Nice game, would have been better with some procedural generation, but I enjoyed it anyway! Good job. :)

shane1090 2014-04-29 18:08

@Xaychru04 the level is randomly generated each time - you can press 'R' at anytime during play to get a new level.

Oh my god! Bob will hate me because of my several attempts to drown him xD I think the ability to dig a block on top is a missing feature which help me a lot ;) But i think the game would be too easy otherwise. Great game though ! :D

This game looks cool, but the pickaxe is kind of hard to use because most of the time you want to go up and not sideways.

ovenchips 2014-05-01 07:42

Aiiiii! I'm really good at drowning in this game! Super hard but hard to resist trying again - very addictive. Nice cutesy graphics. A difficulty curve might help a bit but other than that, really great entry. Well done!!!

Good game, at first I thought the game was too hard, then I realized that wall-jumping wasn't a bug but a feature. Then the balance seemed right.

linuus 2014-05-01 09:36

Wow very nice! Great mechanics, cute graphics, and very hard :P

gettothechapel 2014-05-01 09:44

i like the game, although getting somewhere past the first 5 layers is hard as balls. good job! it ket me playing for a while :)

tomvert 2014-05-01 12:09

Good arcade game, you should add a score or a meter, to have a sense of progression, also the water arrives too quickly at start. Keep it up ! :)

makatak 2014-05-01 13:10

Nice fun game :)

monsieurs 2014-05-01 14:35

I second the idea of being able to dig above you. :) It's quite frantic as it is.

seconddimension 2014-05-01 16:42

Don't know why but I found it really hard, still fun to play and nice graphics.

gaming_ray 2014-05-01 16:45

Cool game, a bit hard, but pretty fun.

eriksundqvist 2014-05-01 18:29

The controls could be tweaked a bit, otherwise nice concept.

bombjack 2014-05-01 19:51

I like the pixel art!

triplevisiongames 2014-05-02 21:37

Add a timer for survival time so I can try and survive longer and I might just play this all day instead of working!

trueyomic 2014-05-03 21:22

Jumping with space and mining with 'z' is a very awkward control scheme. It led to dying a lot. The water rose too fast as well to get anywhere meaningful. Nice pixel art though.

donovanwu 2014-05-12 01:41

So hard!

rujomarco 2014-05-12 07:59

very cool design
