After a few hours away from your game, coming back and playing again, some more comments. First off, kudos for making the game. It’s got that spark that makes me want to play it, even though I suspect it’s an endless labyrinth without a conclusion – some form of story would be great, and I might be able to help you with that if you’re interested. I like the game, I just have a few quibbles. First being the spiders, which have a number of issues. I think the biggest problem is that they don’t stand out from the background enough and can be on the protagonist before the player even sees them. I still believe that they kill a bit too quickly but it’s probably their ambush potential that makes them far more dangerous. I’ve learned to deal with them, but the first few games I played, I didn’t even see the spider before my game ended, and anything that makes your game less accessible to a new player is a bad thing for your game’s rating. Also, a slight reduction in the protagonist’s hitbox would help – sometimes it looks like I’m lined up with a tunnel but I’m not. More than one cave-in has been lethal for no reason than that. I would also recommend letting the player start out with a couple bricks and perhaps a few more torches, to lessen the randomness of a new game.
