Flooded Mines by Zerkruemler
This is an endless game which with random generated levels and increasing difficulty level. It was heavily Inspired by the C=64 Game O'Riley's Mine. Although the title screen implies it, the game has no enemies. I just didn't have enough time to implement and test them, but I think the gameplay does not really require them, the water is enough enemy.
Controls are:
Cursor keys or WASD to move, Space to start.
The game shows some instructions alternating to the title screen.
Tested with Firefox and Chrome
Have fun!

I found myself replaying the game until I could get a few levels further and feel like I'd accomplished something. Very enticing, hope you keep working on it! :)
I'm usually not very critical, but this game is IDENTICAL to O'Reillys mine.
It's becoming pretty common to recycle old games and it really rubs me the wrong way (I recently saw a commercial Pharaos curse rip off without mentioning the original).
The trouble I have with it is, that by now most people have forgotten about the orginal or are too young to know it. So it's easy to do.
To be fair: you're not ttrying to make money of it and it is a good copy and you mentioned O'Reillys mine in the intro, but for me this crosses the border between 'influenced by' and 'a copy of'. Why not tweak the game a bit so it isn't so much like the original?
I DO like the opening picture, which shows you can do original things.
Hmm, I'm inclined to rate this 1 star, but I'll keep it unrated for now.
