How does your game fit the theme?
Dale has to dive deep into the unknown cave systems every day getting deeper and deeper as he upgrades and gets better perks
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and art and music is all ours. Some Sounds were sourced from freesound.org and other free to use sound distributors

The feedback on the mining action is spot on! The sound effect, the subtle screen shake, even the selection box shakes a bit. Definitely a satisfying mining experience.
The goal of the game is a bit vague, simply "get better upgrades" doesn't attract players to pursue. I suggest adding some milestones as short term goals (like a quest), like how deep the player has gotten, how many gems they've obtained, etc.
Good job on the game!
Appreciate u playing there is an end to the game if u get deep enough as some people have played and got too. But yeah we are happy u liked all the feedback and such. thanks for the kind words
Fun game! Great work on the pixel art, the environment was well done.
thank you! none of us are artists so we really appreciate that! =D
Such a cool experience. I loved the progression and the few hazards that could screw up my day. The art is great too, cute and simple, which is more than enough for a game of this scope.
Amazing job. Well done!
glad to hear you enjoyed the game! yeah we love the trap system always giving us a spook if we randomly fall on one lol. thank you for playing!
Great game, Nice machanics and look. and I apriciate that it has an actual ending. but I did miss some form of background music/ambience. But overall a fun experience!
Great game. keep it up♥
thank you so much! glad you had fun and yeah we agree that some cave ambience would of been nice we just didnt know how to incorperate it without it being so overbearing.
This game is very nice! I really loved playing it!
A fun little game with a cool idea
The graphics and idea is very nice. maybe u guys can add some combat system it kind a got repetative.
Pretty interesting game
thank you for playing! i see you game is about mining too ill check it out!
This is a masterpiece, sooooo good!
thank you so much! glad to hear u enjoyed the game =D
Very chill game, the theme is great and fitting for the jam, the core gameplay loop reminds me of classic flash game (which is good!), wish there're a bit more stuff in the earlier depth, and maybe more upgrade, or consumable to buy!
Thanks for the review! was fun watching you play on stream! and yes i do agree altho i think u got super unlucky with chests as they should give more bombs, coins and also artefacts to help u go further in the start. thank you for playing!
Maybe increase the change for good loot in the chest, Its always feel good to be lucky!
Dude, this game is seriously addictive :D Really enjoyed the music too. Good job!
Thanks for playing glad u enjoyed and got hooked
The game is addictive. While I was playing, I remembered terraria. I enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed and found it addictive and yeah we drew inspiration from various sources but terraria was definitely one of them . Appreciate you playing
Just the kind of game loop I enjoy! This is the kind of grind I like in video games, go out and gather resources, sell them when you come back and buy upgrades. This is a very good base for a bigger game! Thank you for your hard work!
Glad you enjoyed and yeah thats the loop we wanted to get. appreciate you playing and the kind words
Beautiful game. The art and sounds reminded me of an idle casual game, and the mechanics felt very smooth.
I would have liked it if the camera was a bit zoomed in.
Thanks for playing and happy you enjoyed and yeeha thats a possibility game is definitely supposed to player full screen which may help with that problem
Beautiful game, very well polished with great design features.
Only slight nag was that the bombs seem to have a will of their own, and just bounce around wherever, always felt like a guess as to where they'd explode.
Thanks for playing and the kind words and yeah we can understand that about the bombs we decided to add bounce to make them a little unpredictable as they were quite over powered we thought but this is definitely something we could fine tune
This has such a peaceful and cozy vibe, was very relaxing! The music and ambience was lovely and I like the way the sound changed underground. And 'Dales Deep Dive to Dangerous Depths ' is great alliteration! Really enjoyed it. And seemed to work fine on my browser.
Yeah thanks thats the kinda vibe we wanted to get off and yeah happy you enjoyed. and also yeah great name lol :)
Really good job! I must admit, that I took waaaay longer playing your game than I initially planned because it was just fun :D
Well done at all
Thanks for the kind words and are glad you enjoyed :)
I would appreciate some feedback about my game too, in case you find the time for it :)
Awesome! I could really see the time and effort that you invested on this game, congrats!
Thanks for playing we appreciate the kind words and yeah we wanted to make something we are proud of and we accomplished that
Really impressive game!
Really impressive game!
Thansk we appreciate the kind words
