About me:

It's the first Ludum Dare for me. I started a bit late because of real life but I'm very happy for "finish" the game in time. I would like to test bugs and improve other things, but time is the time. Maybe out of the compo...

I love the art. I did find it hard. I didn't know feel like I was getting any better. I didn't feel like there were any good strategies about attacking the skeletons. They always defended. I quit playing after a few deaths.

Nice simple art style. Hard to kill things and stay alive. Got stuck in walls a few times too.

This game has got a nice sense of discovery and wonder.
I really hated the gray pixel enemy! Them with the darkness made for a really pesky enemy.

Liked the art style.

Very atmospheric. Protip: your pickaxe has some reach to it; it can hit things that are below you.

Nice animations, especially the axe swinging. I like the ledge grab mechanic too, that was pretty slick!

I really liked the part of the world that I explored and I would like to explore more of it but the game is pretty tricky and I kept dying.

Nice hard game like the graphics!

The graphics are excellent, and the sound effects work well for the style. I like the use of lighting to set the atmosphere. Things like hanging on ledges was also a nice touch. But like someone else mentioned, I had trouble with a bat knocking me into the ground right off the bat (pun intended!), although that's the only place that it seemed to happen. I also kinda wish you could attack while moving, as that might help alleviate some of the difficulty. But all in all, a very good game. Great work!

got hit into a wall and got stuck, but other than that, I loved the pixel art, and good sound as well, the lighting was a nice touch. Nice job :)

Got stuck in the wall at the start. Like the style of it. Sprite work is excellent! I'd love to see more of it in the future.

Lovely game you've got here! Love the pixel graphics.. but it was a little to hard for me.. yeah I know I'm bad at playing games >_>
Anyway good job!

That was really fun, but sadly my screen turned black when I was at 5000 points and fall into a hole. Maybe the new level wasn't loaded correctly? But this game made a lot of fun. Thank you for this entry.

This has nice pixelart and I liked how you could grab the ledge. It was pretty difficult with the low line-of-sight, but overall pretty good. :)
