Agreed about the diagonal movement. I found the game too challenging to complete despite understanding what needed to be done. I always got caught after picking up the third gem. Also, have you noticed that most sounds are panned way over into the left speaker? Strange. I like that there is a state for the beaver chasing you and not (I think?) with the music changing to be more intense, and the colour/lighting change.

Great start folks! Perhaps you could think about letting the player move diagonal too, like the beaver.
