* I have fixed the bug that caused the game to crash on start-up. *shakes fist at MSVS*
CAVE DANGEROUS!
You need to find the prized jewel of the blue! It's in the caverns. Watch out for bats. They are known to kill humans... like you! There is a nearby supply store that will provision you with whatever you need. They only accept gold though.
Controls:
Arrows Left and Right --> move! Button Z --> jump! Button X --> use currently selected item Button C --> scroll inventory
Very short - I was amused by the sound though, and the bat, and you have some interesting collision problems when jumping into the mountain :) I was disappointed there wasn't a bomb sound effect though.
This is small, but pretty complete feeling. Hand drawn environments was a neat decision. Did you do a tile map over that for collision, or is it using the drawing?
I like the contrast between the level art style and the main characters style. Seems like a great start, obviously it is just very short. When it starts to become intriguing it is over. :) Great look and feel work (game and UI.)
Cute, but, uh, lacking in length. I'm guessing it was intended to be longer, but you didn't have time to do the level design necessary? Honestly, this is a pretty good starting point for a basic metroidvania-style game.
Oh, this game is so short. I kind of like it, but it's so short, and there's basically no choices involved. I hope you'll build on this, it could be a fun exploration platformer.
Wow, that was over fast - though if the level is as hand-drawn as it looks, I guess it's not that surprising. Still, it's very promising, and could be awesome if you ever expand it. :D
Cave miner sprite is hilarious. Wish you had had time to finish the game, the concept was quite cool and I was really enjoying it. Lack of bomb explosion + sound was a bit of a let down. Jumping was a bit extreme.
Aw, I won already? It was pretty short, but it looked promising. I tried to see what happens if you lose all of your health, but I never found enough bats. Nice graphics! The little miner looks pretty cool.

And then, bam! end! There seem to be some collision bugs. With more level and items this could be quite good.
Well done! :)
