Once I got past that, to the 'press space to attack' it started me over at the beginning! Big points for music and aesthetic!
By the way, I am really pleased to find a puzzle like the second one (cat face) nowadays... Well, even a puzzle is a rare thing in games these days. This one reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and that is damn good.
There is only one thing I didnt like. The first room is too hard to be the beginning. Everything kills (even the door) and it is easy to fall.
Besides that, it is a nice game. Keep up the good work!
I also quite like the music!
The restarts are a bit annoying though... At first I thought it was a bug... Only later did I find out those things on the walls are actually spikes (they don't really look like spikes to me) :P maybe just restarting the room would be better? Also having a way to fall down faster would have been nice...
But all in all, this is a solid, fun game!
(...I didn't like to die in 3rd level and get teleported to level 1 though :)
But having to redo everything everytime you die is annoying :(.
Anyhoo other than that, great adventure :)
I felt the eel was too random and it would always teleport on top of me and kill me, which was frustating since I had to start at the beginning because of something that wasn't really my fault. Also spikes near the entrances felt cheap.
I still enjoyed it a lot though :) the final battle felt nice, I liked it.
Pd: I hate that stupid eel.
It's not so much that starting from the start again is challenging or not, it's especially that the spikes hadn't striked me as dangerous. So in the eel room, my first reaction was to believe the eel just bite me as soon as I enter, which seemed utterly unfair.
It had of course nothing to see with it, but that was the impression the fact of dying without "further notice" in that room gave.
Cute art style/audio, quick to finish game, nice mood, good job.
Congratulation on making a game in 48h and submitting it to the compo !

Otherwise, I really liked the visual style and the mood of this game. The audio was also quite well done and there are a lot of things going for this game. Overall, I appreciated the attention to detail in the art and the varied gameplay.
But I died inexplicably in level 3 and get back to level 1
Dying and being sent back to the beginning doesn't match the pace of the rest of the game. Because the player moves slowly under the water, solving the first puzzle takes a while. Having to do it again and again is irksome.
On the positive side, the graphics and music are great, good job!
As far as platformers go though, it's pretty generic. Not a whole lot is going on unfortunately. Its basically a kind of 1-2-3 step kind of game and you're done. It definitely has some personality to it, but the actual gameplay could use some more work.
Nice music.
