Mine flood.

You are a miner. Water is flooding the mine. Use ladders to reach the top and escape. Avoid being beneath the surface or you drown!

Keys: W,A,D / Up, Left, Right arrows

My first Ludum Dare entry and actually my first game ever. Created using Construct 2, GIMP, Paint and BFXR.

the controls were really good, the sound was funny. I liked it. Looking forward to your next games.

Really fun and morbid game. Very challenging!

This is a very nice game. The player controls are difficult making it hard to make progress. I really enjoyed this game though. Good Job!

Pretty good.

I think one thing that isn't necessary, but I would've liked, is a bouncy-jump. As in, keep jumping if I hold up. Not too huge a deal though.

I think it would've also been cool if you had a floaty-er jump while under water to sort of help you jump higher and get out.

Pretty nice game nonetheless!

Simple and sweet! Having the up key as your jump button is a bit awkward on the keyboard, but otherwise, nice work.

I am stressed now - reminds me of crazy climber, so, happy.

Fun game. Fit the theme very well, and is very hard too. I love the pixel art and the little 8-bit noise you get when you jump. Overall a great game!

Addictive but challenging as well!

Really god for a first game. Could do with more sound though, a splash when you go under and an underwater sound.

Super hard, super fun. Wish you I could start the game with a key press instead of having to grab the mouse...

Nice job! It's simple but challenging, and quite fun overall. I liked the art too. :)

Pretty challenging! Nice level design too. You should really consider adding highscores to make it more addictive.

Simple timed jumping game - but the narrative of escaping a flood makes it super compelling!

Cool idea. The controls are a bit weird at first (as Dominator said, it would make it a bit easier if the character would continuously jump as long as the Up key is pressed). The platforms could do with a bit of colour to help differentiate them from the background too. Pretty cool for a first game ever anyway, congrats! :)

You need to give the player a moment to realise what's happening. Start them a bit higher up on the screen so that they can see that the water is rising without having to evade it straight away.

Neat game. The controls felt a little loose but the gameplay is clean and easy to get into.
Pretty challenging as well.

Simple and solid for a fist game.
