Good mix between Snake and Box games. Music is simple but relaxing, at least the 5 first minutes. I could solve some puzzles, but I failed to find out how to "mute" it.
Thanks for pointing to that! I have added button to switch off the music. Also "m" key can be used for that matter too.

tricky, fun game. Its story line is a little dull, but I guess that adds mystery. Why is he stuck in the underground?
Thanks for playing! Hope you liked it. I have updated the game to include the story which was planned in first place.

Really liked it. Could have been a PuzzleScript game.
But the end of the story is a bit odd and frustrating.
Don't understand the "You start moving ..."

Very good game, with a neat concept and rather frustrating (in a good way) game mechanics. Everything else seems well-executed, too. I'm currently stuck on level 17 though.
I'm glad you like it! I hope you will be back in a game for level 17 after a short break. "This game really hurts my brain" as one friend has said :-D

OK, just finished the game. Of this game, I shall lament the same things I lament of all good puzzle games: Why are they all so short?!
A suggestion: The "UGH" sound that the dwarf makes whenever he can't move in a direction gets VERY annoying. So does the "walking" sound. You should add the ability to completely mute all sounds, not just music.
Other than these two points, a perfectly solid game that should really be ranked much higher on Kongregate.
This game feels like it could have been created by Alan Hazelden (creator of Sokobond, These Robotic Hearts Of Mine, and A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build), by the way. You might want to get in touch with him.
Thanks for a honest review! Sorry for the game being short. I was done on purpose. I decided to finish short game, rather not release at all big ambitious game. Hope my next game will be bigger and better!
