The music and the graphics are almost perfect. I love low poly esthetic.
Congratulations, and good luck guys!
I had some issues with the jumping - there seems to be a very short but noticeable lag on jumping, plus a re-jump limitation. I think it's reasonable to prevent me from just consta-jumping the entire puzzle away, but it felt a bit raw when I hit the button and nothing happened, and I died.
Nailed it on the atmosphere though - and I shouldn't forget to mention the nice work on the audio which did a nice job of gently reinforcing the overall feeling of the cave.
Nice job!
Sadly, the game-play is a bit shallow. I really couldn't tell what planks would drop or not, so I just ended up holding a and spamming space to the end.
Overall, a solid entry!
Of course you know that this game is a bit short. So here are some suggestions that could improve the game:
* This isnt really a suggestions, but while jumping down the cliff the player went straight down. Felt a bit weird.
* Make it possible to choose if you collect gold. Now it seems you cant avoid them. If you give players a choice that would be great. In the beginning there is optional gold to the right though.
* If you do the obove suggestion, you could show not just how much gold you have collected, but how much gold is in the scene.
Great game though :)
nice work :)

And It also fits the theme perfectly which is great!
But man, that ending soundtrack is the biggest reward you can wish for, it's so good!
I just wish gameplay was a bit challenging. You can hold down left+space and you basically done.
