This game surprised me with some great level designs. Lots of fun mechanics too! Like the swinging, and the spike holes, the bees dropping, the bats flying, and the spiders with their Half-Life 2 style webs. The second level reminded me of Pitfall for the Atari. The music was good, reminded me of games I used to play on my grandma's MS-DOS computer with their simple looping tracks. Played through three times to try and get the good ending but apparently dying only three times still isn't good enough. The lava part was frustrating because it's impossible to beat on the first try. You have to die and have the lava restart to have enough time for the two long horizontal bits. I had perfect health until that area. Although if you can beat it then it's just me haha. Great job, and I'd like to see you get some proper art to match your game, the cover put me off for a while. If you designed levels and had an artist team up with you, you could make some really fun games. Good luck, and congrats on "finally finishing something." :)

hi thank you very much for the feedback. It has been hard to gauge the fine line between a game being intentionally difficult and just plain frustrating but that's why player feedback is important! maybe a little unforgiving considering the lava chase mechanic may not be working quite right. will also check out your games!
