Nice art and audio, this game has potential, however I didn't find it all that fun to play mainly because of the way the controls were mapped out, it felt very awkward to me.

This is a fantastic take on the theme. I liked the sound effects and the art style. Great work!

Loved it ! Great art and music (loved the mix of well known musical theme at the beginning !).
Gameplay is a bit disturbing at first, but it works really well after a few seconds.
Well done !

a bit too difficult for me, died so many times. And when I died and click the map, I couldn't restart without reloading the page.

Thanks everyone!

@billhung: You can close the map with SPACE, just like you do in-game. Sorry, we should have added a "close" button or something.

Very nice, the most complete game I've seen so far.

Really excellent game! Graphics were awesome, audio is fantastic, and although I didn't catch on until my second playthrough, I was able to complete all three levels with ease. Navigating was challenging, but very easy to figure out at the same time. Great job!

very funny, introduction is excellent !

It is pretty awesome, great graphics , music, and sound effects, semi-retro gameplay is done perfectly in this game, didn't finish it tho, bad at maze-style games xD. Good Job :D!

Really like this game. Nice graphics and the menu works fine and the humor is good.

This is a great entry. The art, the audio, the gameplay... nothing was left behind.

5 stars, good job

Love how the camera works. Looks great. Fun to play.

It's a shame that the game doesn't randomly generate more levels, you'd have nearly complete product right here! Also, was that dynamite that you could plant with the left option?

GREAT game! Awesome package of graphics and good controls, and fun audio. I love it!

Awesome graphics, mechanic and sound. Great job. :)

Thanks everyone! :)
@Make A Game: no these are beacons, you can place them to help orientate yourself around the tunnels.

This was a great game with awesome sound and graphics! A pity there were only three levels - this is the type of game that would really benefit from random generation. Good job! :)

Amazing graphics/audio/mood, solid gameplay. Very impressive and a very good take on the theme.

Cool drawings and music. Really well done. Nice idea. It took me three attempts to figure out how it is meant. After this it was easy. I didn't see too much difficulty difference in the levels, and wished more levels, but really good entry.

Gorgeous cutscene art, and interesting gameplay:) (was it felt markers and watercolor?, thats what it looked like to me:))

01101101 2014-05-10 09:06

Thanks guys! We would have added random generation for maps but were not sure we'd have the time so we settled for hand-designed ones.
@NicoM: watercolor yes: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2014/04/26/the-artist-is-in-the-house-progress-report/

I like the intro and the music.
