Cool game! Nice presentation, I'm particularly liking the pixel art graphics and the ambient music. Found the jumping control to be a bit fiddly. Good stuff overall though.

Thanks Arcturus! Appreciate your comment. Yes, the jump is definitely fiddly and was high on my tuning list on the last day...and of course I never got to it! Thanks for your positive feedback on the other aspects. Cheers.
<3 for female protagonist!
Thanks molecats! We like our heroine too!
It's clear you really overreached with this one, which is a shame, since what you do have is pretty neat. The sprite work is top-notch, and the music is pretty atmospheric too. Procedurally generating a map like that takes a lot of work, and it looks like you used your own engine for it too!
You had a lot of good stuff going here, it's just a shame so little of it got finished. Good luck in your future jams though, I'm sure you learnt a lot from this!
Thanks RockHopper! Really appreciate the feedback. Everything you said is true. We have learned a lot from our 1st LD and we look forward to the next one. Cheers!
You guys did quite an amazing job for a first Jam, I really like the female protagonist, the sprite art is indeed top knotch, and the mechanics really suggest this game is a good candidate for a post jam work to turn it into a commercial title!
Tried to hit one but hit q several times and quit the game instead. What was the point? I could drill down and down but nothing really happened. Should have removed the grappling hook if it could not be used. Unable to pick up anything. Unable to jump, what is the jump button? Looked good though and I liked the infinite cave.
Great visuals. The music lends a nice mood. If only the game were playable. This was definitely an ambitious attempt, and kudos for the cavern generation. I hope you all get something more playable next time! See ya then!
The game has a lot of potential, but it's a bit too buggy for now :P The music is awesome though !
I hope you'll develope this further! The concept, graphics and sound are just great and the gameplay is addictive. Please finish this and send me a message :D
I liked the idea but the actual gameplay is quite boring for me. On the other hand, the graphics are so cool!
graphics and music were great - controls need work
Cool art and mood, but gameplay is a bit poor, and as mentioned above, jumping is not really an option ^^
I only tried the jam version, might try the indiecade one later, as this has potential.
Thanks to all of you that played and critiqued our game. We received a lot of good feedback and I think the bottom line was the hero controls were the stumbling block while the visuals and audio were appreciated all around. We will learn from this first attempt and our next LD offering will certainly reflect our commitment to developing fun, intuitive, and aesthetically appealing entertainment software. Cheers!
