Story
You are the young adventurer named Char. Upon adventuring into the sewers you stumble across a series of doors that either open or close every 10 seconds. Venturing further into the sewers you realize you are not alone. A strange creature approaches. LOOK OUT! It's a Skafgatch!

Couldn't get any higher then room 9. All doors lead back to 8.
And the creatures don't seem to do anything to me - except blocking.

I like how you put each room in the middle of the dark !

As of right now the enemies do not attack essentially making them a moving object. This is something we are going to change as soon as we can. Also we will look into the door issue and we plan to make have multiple doors open as well as adding items to the game. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Well done, very few people have some sort of animation (The creature dying)

Wow, amazing graphics. Well done!
But I must say that the gameplay is a bit dull at the moment. What am I supposed to do? Am I trying to escape? And why don't the Skafgatchs harm me?
And I'm not quite sure where the "10 seconds" theme is in your game.

Graphics really catches all my attention!

@Urfoex I believe I have fixed the door loopback problem that was occurring before so go ahead and redownload the .jar and let me know if it happens again.

@ZYXer The skafgatches don't harm you because the code for them attacking did not get done in time. Also the 10 seconds them is that the doors toggle every 10 seconds.

Thank you everyone for the feedback.

The character sprites are very good.

The control scheme is a little strange. I believe arrow keys would have worked better.

Keep at it! :)

graphics were nice but the game did not seem to have a purpose -- good effort

Kinda Glitchy, sometimes I would end up on top of the monsters then I couldn't kill them, and couldn't get to the door... Good graphics though.

Pretty good artwork, but after a few rooms it all felt the same.
