Fun little game! It was a little unintuitive to have Z be jump instead of the up arrow key - but I got used to it quickly. Solid concept and pretty fun!

Nice level mechanics :)
Level design is good, was fun to play.
Nice level design but ran into a few places where the way forward wasn't entirely clear and taking the wrong path meant having to restart the level or restart a section. A few of those get frustrating after awhile. Otherwise, the slow ramp up of new items and enemies makes this game fun. Killing those spider things was way more satisfying than it should be.
I agree with trying to avoid the player trapping themselves where possible. Having X out of Y artifacts only to have to restart interrupts the flow a little. Nevertheless, a nice game.
I stopped when it came time to find 34 artifacts, that is just too many! Overall the game was fun but the times I lost didn't feel like my fault, it was just evil level design. If I fall down a hole and get trapped because I had no idea it was there it feels cheap. Especially when it means I have to start all over.
This game remeber me the King’s Valley II for MSX. Your level mechanics and soundtrack are cool.
Simple, but good game. I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/ruvs0qoO4zU
Great choice of music!
The level design was a bit tedious at times, but nevertheless a solid entry, good job.
