Phew... glad I've got that behind me. This is the first game I've ever finished, so I hope you like it :D Feel free to leave feedback and criticism in the comments.
EDIT: It does have an ending, you just have to get down through about 7 levels first. meow.
Controls: WASD / Arrow Keys to move and break soft blocks.
weird clicky sounds when I press arrows, sounds not right? I loved the little doom esque facial change based upon health. You get bloodier as you get hurt :D allow you to hold down arrow keys to keep moving :)
I was contemplating the hold down thing. At one point I did include it, but it broke the flow of the animation. I was going for a turn-based style, but in hindsight I probably should have just fixed the animation. Glad you liked the health meter!
Also, the clicky sounds are supposed to be footsteps. I kind of messed up those though, as I had to edit them last minute in order to make the guy go faster without weird sound overlaps.
I admire your ambition to attempt a turn based game (although it didn't quite work with your gameplay). Usually I associate turn based with a lot more strategic elements--the gameplay emphasizes on taking the time to think--so perhaps just some more interesting features would have gone a long way. Atm though, maybe I just don't understand it?
I definitely like what you've done so far, and I think this is super promising and hope you'll continue building on it. :D
Thanks! I did intend for the traps to be more intricate, but time got the better of me... Nonetheless, I'm pleased with what I've done (and that I got it finished). Also, your perception of poo scares me O_o
Congrats on finishing! The first time this game loaded... the screen was nearly 100 percent black. I could still see some basic outlines of the white text. I refreshed and it fixed it. Odd.

P.S. the gems might kind of look like poo...
