Pretty cool game. Controls are kinda hard, but fun overall. Pretty funny too.

I like the mole concept ;)

Typical moles. Running around getting swallowed by lava all the time.

Really impressive for your first game =)

Lots of little issues with this, although the experience as a whole is pretty solid.

-The shaky player sprite does a terrible job of conveying where your hitbox is and it makes platforming difficult.
-There should be a pause between death and respawn to prevent players from immediately running into lava on their next life.
-Camera is too basic to accomodate your level design. Most obstacles are impossible to prepare for, especially on maps that are zoomed in quite far.
-The inconsistent room connections made the game extremely confusing. I'm not sure if you were going for a "maze" element, but it's very confusing when entering a door takes you to a room you just left.

The little joke at the end was pretty funny at least and I didn't run into any bugs, but the game needs a lot of improvement.

Hillarious, I died so many times! Talk about a steep difficulty progression ;)

I Demand a Death counter! This game is pretty fun yet hard and infuriating!

Cute ending, game is challenging, too bad there is no music.

Impressive for your first game! I'm quite charmed by the way the mole is animated, a little music would make it even better though. The jumppad-part was quite difficult, but overall i enjoyed playing!

Challenging but really fun to play. I almost quit on the 3rd room. The ending is hilarious.

I like the graphics. The platforming elements where a little frustrating at times and the layout seemed basically random.
Good attempt, keep trying!

Nice jump'n'run!

Love the animations and the texts.

Difficulty spikes pretty early though, and I'm not concinced by the use of standard-unity-blue in the background ;P

Love the level 0 intro and the story text as a part of the background!
