I like the idea of a platformer going down instead of up and the digging mechanic. I was missing a bit more that I could do though, I feel like it could get stale after a while. But the platforming mechanics were great, overall a cool entry:)
Great job with balancing the difficulty: the game seems difficult but there are a lot of heart pickups and overall it's manageable.

I liked that there were different ways to go, and that often you couldn't go back, but there was always a way forward. Sometimes I wish the camera was a bit lower, to see more of where I was going.
I like the animation of the swirling arms and how I could smash the blocks to pieces. The platforming mechanics worked well. Perhaps you could map more keys to jump/left/right, so that the player can choose to use WASD or arrow keys, and up or space for jump.
Overall, I enjoyed playing your game. Well done! :smile:
