This is my first jam and also my first time completing a project! I made every inch of the game myself from the programming to the music. I really hope you enjoy it!
P.S. Don't look directly at the bugs.

Hello Seltzy, Im part of a team called PortMaster. We port over games to multiple handheld linux devices running custom versions of Linux. Both Under the Black Mountain and its sequel were really fun to play and are just nice on a small retro handheld, so I would like to ask if you would allow us to distribute the game files for these games. Otherwise gamers would have to download the game on itch.io and add the files manually. I look forward to hearing back from you, if you are interested in PortMaster, here is a link: https://portmaster.games/
I went through this game in 20 minutes. thank you! I really liked it! the most difficult place was in a cave in which it is impossible to go forward, because you are transported to the beginning of the screen (I thought it was a bug!). only then did I realize that these skulls might indicate something.
Very interesting game. The "evil presence" was legitimately frightening, the boss fights were tricky but doable, the art was simplistic, but readable. The cutscenes were really well done. It's a good game overall. My only gripe is that the game crashes during the intro on my machine, but I think it happens right at the end, so I don't think I missed anything.
Was cool until I died to the boss and had to do the whole "I sense an evil presence" part again, including collecting the 6 (or was it 8?) keys.
Just to fight the boss again! >:O
Very fun, but no blenders :(
