Find the cave to win and collect orbs along the way all while evading murderous kittens with chainsaws.
Mind you, being the fastest isn't always the best.

First entry and first game, critiques are always welcome.

This is kinda fun for a speed run once you know the level.
It would be good if the enemies were a bit more aggressive.

score: 8861. The game could have more levels, I liked it, even if I would have appreciated more attracting graphics... Level is not too long and that's a good point too :)

What good are giant marsupials with chainsaws without death animations :P (I guess the goal is not to die though, so yeah perhaps not worthwhile)

Really quite a fun little game!

Died 0 times, collected 10 orbs, took 224 steps, took 55 seconds. 9961.

I actually like the tile-based movement, it reminded me of some older games on Windows 95. The graphics could use a bit of work with a bit of variation in backgrounds and a more consistent art style.

Overall, nice work!

The level design reminds me of Link's Awakening where it reveals a screen to show you where to go but you must take the long way around.
