  • A simplistic submission with little worth looking at - both visually, as the rooms repeat themselves frequently and only consist of green floor and plasticky brown "earth" walls, and in terms of gameplay. The only thing you ever need to do is grab the key and bring it to the gate, so simply poking your head in a room is often sufficient to know if it's worth bothering with. The skeletons may have rather long arms, but they can seemingly only strike you if you explicitly let them, so running past them is easy. If you do let them attack you, this appears to be an insta-kill, rendering the (animated!) heart meter irrelevant. Meanwhile, the timer is supposed to be a threat, but it runs out during the very first level with no repercussions, and never makes itself known since then. There's not even any good audio. While the creators may release a promising game in the future, this isn't it.
