Maybe if you want to update it, put a sequel, or just make it better, you could possibly make the game more visually appealing. In most animations, the player was the same picture the whole time. Maybe, you could make a different symbol that is animated for each animation. For example, when running to a different location, you could make a symbol that represents him running, instead of standing. Also, you could possibly speed the frame rate up a bit, I found each animation pretty long. And finally, you could get a better user interface. By which I mean, instead of arrows around the character, you could maybe put different buttons at the bottom left hand corner, and replace them with a grayed out graphic symbol for when the move isn't available. If you make the buttons like that, you could possibly lighten up the colors when the mouse hovers over them, for more immersive gameplay. Those are my suggestions.
Onto the better side of this game, I really liked the plot. I've played a few games like this before, but I kinda liked the idea of escaping from a cave. I liked the rope idea, how you drag it first, and then hang from it. So, this game has a lot of potential. Great job on this!

I initially wanted to do more in regards of animating it, but a few bugs really ate away at the time I set aside to work on this project. I really like your Idea about the buttons in the corner tho. I am really glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the detailed review.
