A lot of fun, the boss in the end was really cool too! Really nice art, specially love the character sprite. A small gripe I felt was that the enemies in cave 3 felt like reskins. of earlier ones.

Really liked this one, I want to finish it but I didn't yet. I will come back!

The style is restrained but detailed and just oozes sophistication to me. I like that death only restarts the screen you are on and it has a nice blend of puzzle/platformer mechanics. Very fluid and just good!

It's a really fun and interesting game! I enjoy it! :)

Wow! This is fantastic! The art and overall aesthetic is great, the gameplay is tight and well designed! Nice work! :)

Very nice game with really good feel to the controls! The pixel art is really well done, good job!

Neat game! So far this is the one I played the most. The boss was tedious, and I ended up giving up. He would just hang out in the corner where I couldn't bomb him and I spent forever just dodging bullets and not doing anything.

Besides that though, cool concept, I'd love to see this fleshed out bigger :)

Oh yeah, I wish there was music, but I get it, we only had 2 weeks :)

So simple yet so fun! I was surprised by how lengthy it was, you just keep going and going, and it made me that much more invested in getting through the caves to find out what was at the end of it all. Very nice job!!

This is huge!? The enemy variety is great and I love how little punishment there is for failure. Some of the jumps are pretty finicky, but I'm not the best at platformers !

The movement and physics feel great, the art is very well done and the whole experience is really polished. This is all around great, especially as one developer only! One thing I didn't really get though is the behavior of the slimes, I don't understand when they decide to jump over me. But the penalty for dying is always minimal so it wasn't a big deal at all. Great entry, congrats!

Wowww there's a lot of content here. Superbly designed levels with tons and tons things to avoid. What I do really like here is the infinite lives as someone who is awful at platformers. Sound is great, sprites are awesome. Only thing I'd say would be like some cave ambiance or some like cave music would be cool, but this is a well designed and well put together piece. 10/10 would let a slime jump on top of me again.
