The idea isn't bad, maybe more levels will be some more fun!

This is so creative and the audio is great. I loved how you hit the theme so well. I wish the visual style was a little more cohesive, and as ccglp says, mmore levels please!

Thank you dudes/dudettes! You guys have a good point on more levels. This was my first attempt at pixel art, and I enjoyed doing it in between the coding sprints. Hopefully my future work will have better pixel art.

Did you know that the "heavy metal" are just pixel-ized versions of famous heavy metal albums? !O!

Needs some kind of time-pressure or hazards. Dem clouds, though XD

Impressed with the soundtrack :-) Not sure if this was intentional or not, but all the items appeared at the start of the first level.

@Thingus yeah, I figured the first level could be a tutorial, then afterwards the player would get that the items are beneath the beach. Hopefully it made sense..
