Miner Rescue, 10-minute browser platform game

The gloomy-but-glowy medieval 8-bit look of M Lino's Miner Rescue, a simple but perfectly-formed platformer with pounding, melodic chipmusic, recalls classics like Antiriad and The Cauldron. Combat seems tough enough to make avoidance a better strategy; be sure to check the walls for hidden passages.

I found one hidden passageway. Are there more?

  There’s two — one in each “section” of the mine. Both are more or less at the far end of each area, IIRC. I think one has a nested hidden passageway, too, though I might be misremembering.
