I think that bigger punishments from dying, like losing some of your money or what's in your pack would help this feel riskier. The respawn mechanic sometimes helped me move further along in the mines, which I think needs to be adjusted. Also, for the sake of the jam, the time is too long. Maybe half the time would have been better and added more pressure. I love the art. The music loop is a little too tight for my liking. I would have preferred it to be longer, but I can understand leaving it short for stylistic purposes. The sounds were good. Gameplay smooth. Good job overall.
