Ranked from 12 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
This game is a play on the horror trope: "Nothing can go wrong, right?", as well as the fact that story-wise, the main character escapes the cave unscathed at the end.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I worked on all the art myself except for the background, which my boyfriend made. At the same time, my Programmer Krazz worked on the code.

How many people worked on the game?

I like the concept but I could not get past the first stage, not sure if it's a browser bug? Wish I could have seen the other levels!

The atmosphere is cool. Does the character have a limited number of lives? I believe, the first time I got eaten, the game returned to the start of the level. The second, time to the main menu.

There's no lives, the only time you don't get sent to the main menu when you die is if you fall down a pit! Hope this helps

Mhm this one has potential some few minor bugs on climbing but overall it's a good game!

I enjoyed the basic gameplay in this, but it still felt incomplete in some areas. I think the game has a lot of bugs; on the second level I couldn't climb the wall. I also enjoyed the art style but I think some of the textures were glitched, but overall I think the concept was really good and I think that it has potential to be a really good platformer!

Fun game! A few bugs, have two bugs facing each other and being unable to move. When i dies I just got a black screen, no text, and a white button; but alas bugs are just a thing.
Good job!

Hi! The whole death screen thing... isn't a bug. We didn't have time to finish it, sorry!

The visuals were nice, and the wall climbing and movement felt good as well! It was a little short though, although I don't know if the screen was supposed to cut to black after the 4th level

There are 6 Levels, so the cut to black is definitely a bug ':)
I'll look into it
