he made this for ludum dare last weekend and livestreamed it.
note that you will need Java to play it BUT since you play Minecraft that shouldnt be an issue.

it takes about 20-30 mins to beat the game according to Notch.

it can be found HERE

enjoy! :)

It was surprisingly difficult. I guess I'm just not hardcore enough. :/

Reminded me a bit of an old game I used to play called Chip's Challenge. A lot of elements were similar, including moving rocks into holes so you can cross, getting the skates to walk on the ice, and using the flippers to swim. I suspect he drew inspiration from that.

EDIT: Just finished it.
Spoiler! :
The ghost boss was hard as hell to beat.

I made it to the room full of ghosts before I died. The golden ghost shot me.

How do you open the first gate thing? The instructions aren't really helpful.

I got to the catacombs, but those shooty-things got me after a while.
Spoiler! :
And the bit where you have to slide across the ice - hitting the right pillars to get where you want - reminded me of a similar bit from Pokemon Gold/Silver.

The one in this was a lot easier than the ones in Pokemon though.

The ice pillar puzzles in each Pokemon game annoyed me :/

I'm just bad at that type of puzzle. Mazes I can do, but that... I would spend an hour just trying to navigate my way through.
