Accident tells the story of a spelunker who lets his friend die on an expedition to save his own life and how he ammends his error by carrying the body home to give his companion a proper burial.
Really cool game, with an interesting concept. The music added a lot of atmosphere to the game as well. I occasionally found the controls a bit tricky, but otherwise everything worked really well. Nice!
There is so much right with this game. I felt alone, I felt responsible for the friend, I loved the dark humor, and the puzzles were interesting, but not too frustratingly difficult. Kudos to you!

What a fun and exceptionally cruel idea. It's almost as bad as the thing you have to do with the cat in my game :-)
Good effort, solid controls too. I like the dark humor fo it. Was a bit confused at first about how to pick stuff up but i found out that i could hold space to drag things.
Right when I jumped on top of the dead guy and he farted I though "there goes all the drama". But the puzzles are quite clever and I really want to see more of it!
On a side note, I'd say you could lose the fact that he's dead and make it like he ate some poison mushrooms, so you both are rushing to get to the surface. The game seems more lighthearted than jumping on a corpse. And having your partner rolling on the ground, complaining about his stomach might add some comedy, like hearing him from afar.
Cool game, the jumping sound is a bit annoying and I got trapped a couple of times on the second level (which made me stop playing) but it's still a nice game, good job!
Wow.. If I have something to add so it can be better, I'd say the controls are not always responsive (jump from a one sized block) and the music is a little too repetitive), but appart from that: very well done ! Good innovative idea, just make more levels !

Making an effort, I think it's too easy. Also, the cinematics can be improved. But making this in 48 hours rocks! Grats!
Clever, and solid!
Nice work.
Great level design ;)
