I'm making a game too.
It's called DNE.
You play the role of Jim. For some reason Jim collects keys to open chests.
Here is a screenshot. All the grafix are drawn by me in Paint and then rendered using Linoleum's per-pixel display.

It is very small yes. The guy on the left is Jim. The thing in the middle is a heart (for HP). Currently he can't take any damage though.
The chest is what keys are for.. uhh, I have no idea what's supposed to be in them. I think keys will also be used for opening doors. Chests might give special powers or something.
I hope to make it all one great big world like that wandering ball game thing. You'll be able to explore new areas with new powers.
I have no slated release and it is currently in stage:crap and thusly not comparable to mar77a's works.
Anyway, good luck with your game. If there's anything I can do let me know.
