I really enjoyed this, and since it's just a short ten levels, I had to finish it :)

Completed. Good fun that, and with the duck/hide it feels quite fresh. It took a few goes trying to suss the middle platform on level 4, but it was pretty easy overall. Well judged though - 10 levels that can be completed after a few tries but probably not first time is well judged for players these days.

Congrats Ottersoft Keep going!

Btw small font bug - sometimes it prints the level name at double height at the bottom of the screen, and it gets clipped off.

This is totally my bag, great little puzzly platformer. Lots of fun, some very neat touches & really impressive for a debut game! Lovely stuff Ottersoft.

I'm enjoying this game. Good work, Ottersoft!! The hide mechanic is a good idea. I also like the open/close trapdoor things.
Only made it to level 3 but will be back for more soon.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I made this mostly as a learning exercise and hope the next game will bigger and better.

I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

Thanks r-tape, I did notice this in gameplay videos and fixed at the weekend. :)

And here's the map at Pav's site. I particularly liked the 'Tremors' worm!
