Little Viking by pythong
WARNING: THIS GAME IS HARD, AND INTENDED TO BE SO!
You are a little viking, who follows his idols to the dungeons of Loki! Unfortunately, all the adult vikings are dead, because Loki, mischievious as he is, had lots and lots of traps in his dungeons. Will you be able to survive?
Left/Right or A/D to move, SPACE to jump
*I'M DONE. I caught a cold on the second day, but still pulled through because I didn't want my efforts on the first day go to waste. But I would have loved to make even harder levels. Have fun!*

The difficulty curve was inconsistent though - some levels I only died once, others many times.
- The camera should be more zoomed out. It's hard to see obstacles and hazards along the path.
- Jump lacks control. It should be pressure sensitive (really easy to implement in unity and the default character controller already does that).
It's a really charming game, anyhow.
Kudos!
Making a hard game may have been your intention, and I like those games, but the difficulty curve was really steep. I can't tell how many tries I needed to pass that first obstacle on the slope.
Next time I think it would be a good idea to make 1 or 2 additional easy levels, just to let the player get a hand of the controls
