Comments
I vastly miscalculated the effort needed to create this game. As a result it's severely unfinished even for a game made in 48 hours. It is what it is, and I spin such matters as learning opportunities.
Controls
Currently keyboard only.
Arrows move Wilford CTRL swings the pickaxe (though it's currently invisible).
Enemies
Salamander - keeps getting in the way
Underground Wasp - don't let it look at you for too long, or you might regret it

It was easy to kill them.
I think you should make game harder =)
I love the retro style graphics and the music. We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time but I love what you have done.
Unfortunately when I press the down arrow key my browser window scrolls down and then the game disappears... so yeah that makes it difficult to play. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong :cry:
Keep up the good work.
@kevin-s Yeah I'm not sure why it does that - the best way to get around it I can see is to click the fullscreen icon in the bottom right.
@alec The movement is a bit off, so I don't think it's you. It was even worse before. I tried to make it like in Startropics so you could change direction without moving but I ended up spending way too much time on just the basic movement mechanics.
@eboatwright The salamander is just in the way for now as I didn't have time to make them bite you. The wasps will shoot at you after being able to see you for a while. There was also a 3rd bull like enemy who would charge you if it could see you in a direct line but I wasn't able to get it to recover after charging into a wall, so it just kinda sat there. Decided against making it spawn for now.
