I really enjoyed this one! Although the solutions didn't take too long to find, I can definitely see this concept being extended into a really great game. Please let me know if you continue this! I'd really love to see where you take this concept. I do, however, have a few ideas. Absolutely no pressure, though.

First: the controls. While the actual button choice was really intuitive, the movement itself felt a tad stiff, in my opinion. I think that this can largely be boiled down to three very minor things. For one, the player can't jump unless they're on solid ground. While this makes sense in the real world, many platformers actually use a timer-based system, so that if the player leaves the ground there's still an extra  fraction of a second where jump inputs are accepted. This makes jumping from one platform to another feel much more fluid, in my opinion. It might be worth experimenting with. I'd also add that perhaps a variable jump height would add to the degree of player control and make everything feel a bit tighter. Furthermore, the amount of time it takes the player to jump up is the same as the amount of time it takes to fall, from what I've seen. While this is absolutely how free fall works in our world, this has really never been true for the classic platformers. In Mario, for example, it actually takes less time for the player to fall than to rise. This definitely adds to the snappiness of the controls, and can really pull things together, if for no other reason than this is what a lot of people are used to.

Next idea: more feedback. As it stands, pushing buttons makes things move, but that's where the player's interaction with the world ends. If you just added some particle effects whenever the player picks up coal and maybe a few sounds for item pickup and movement, I think that this game would be taken up multiple notches. I highly recommend bfxr, by the way. You can get an entire library of custom sounds specifically suited for your game in literally five minutes.

Again, I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much for the game!

I better understand the usefulness of the "restart button" after being stuck in a blue cube haha
other than that nice video game ^^

Excellent job! I love the concept and you implemented it very well. Once I restarted once the BG music stopped completely, then didn't play on any level. The jump velocity is something to work on if you develop it any further. Awesome job! 

Fun game and it worked fine for me in the browser. I just made it to 32, though (I like swimming too much xD).

Not sure if it was intended, but you can move blocks while standing on them, or jump and move the blue blocks up. Also, jumping under an obstacle feels a bit weird, because the character kind of floats in the air for a while. But those are small points! All in all a great contribution, good job :)

I really like the concept. It is a bit laggy but I suppose that's because I played it in browser.

no, i got 36! i thought the game was fun and i really liked the character. good job FoundTexas!

Buen juego chicos, siempre es genial ver trabajos de gente de habla hispana ^^, La idea de tener que ir recogiendo el carbón para ganar salud es bastante original, también el juego tiene muy buena duración para estar hecho en tan poco tiempo, lo único negativo que he visto ha sido en la música, al morir dejó de sonar, muy buen juego! ^^

This game is actually very fun. I very much enjoyed the concept as well as the sounds and some of the visuals. The controls of the game were very clear and although there were times I was block glitched a bit due to moving the block the player was currently on, I had a lot of fun. I think if you had more time to brush up the visuals and make the block movement a bit smoother, this game would be something I'd like to play again!

Controls don't work for me ;(

Very nice game, I like the concept and puzzle platformer aspects.  The fireball slowed down its horizontal movement when jumping which made it a bit hard to control.  I also got locked in place when I dragged a block to my current position.
