Great musical score, nice art as usual and a nice short game to waste your time on :)

Game runs fine under linux, just use java -jar Ghost\ of\ the\ trapped\ Miners.jar in the console.
Nice work, fun to play, a bit challenging (nothing a retry won't fix) and a nice adaption to the theme.
Goerp: I've added an explanation of the concept I had in mind. I ditched the light part halfway during day 1 as it would take to much time and started getting more setbacks as I encountered bugs and difficulties creating the user interface the way I wanted it to be.
So next time... I'll make a simple, short game ;) perhaps next mini-LD! But for now it's time to play and review some games from our competitors.
Nice graphics and nice quotes, but the movement is rather difficult on a high-resolution device. It takes many taps on a field to move the character one square.
negative points: menu button is displayed but doesn't do anything and the back button seems to be blocked :(
Nice and simple game following the theme nicely. Graphics could be better, but at least you finished the game ;)
Nice take on the classic pitfall game, love the goat pictures!
Nice concept! The extra use of the 'S' button is well thought out, but at the start I was puzzling why the character wouldn't jump.
By the way: the final zip with LWJGL is twice the size because it contains the zip contents twice.
@loxo Thanks! I was really struggling for time so decided to focus on finishing the game's logic and rooting out the bugs before the extra art. The dice was supposed to be animated and the grey block on the second screenshot should contain a picture of the power-up (or down ;)) you just received.
You should be able to continue after reaching the exit, seems like it's a bug so I'll look into it.
Nice concept, but it's pretty hard to finish since it's so difficult to keep them together. Jumping left sometimes blocks.
Nice little platformer, love the pixel art
nice concept and use of both themes. Controls are a bit difficult at times, but the game is forgiving enough to let you retry. Quite addictive!
Nice animation and use of both themes. Very nice entry!
Nice little game with good music, could use a bit more content.
Nice little game, love the musical score!
The web link is an executable for Windows, I can't run this on Linux so unable to rate the entry.
Nice concept following the theme.
Since you're also using libGDX, why not make a web version available as well?
