Really enjoyable gameplay! very clear and balanced level design.
By the way, that levels could be more stressful if the metal boxes have physics and fall down.
Thank you very much.
I had the same idea at the start but we didn't had much time. We planed that if enough people are interested in the game we will come back to it and try to implement more cool mechanics like falling metals and new obstacles.
Mole needs the specs but can see the map XD, I love the stereotype of mole with specs! Congrats on the submission, best luck!
Awesome game idea. Implementing the metalblocks was a good choice so it is very challenging and the puzzles are great!
Also I find the graphic very cute and the audio is very nice.
Great Work!
Awesome puzzle game, you made a great work!
Release on Android maybe? :)
maybe in the future, i need to think of a cool way to implement this :)
Very cool use of both platformer and puzzle mechanics, and nice level design too!
I love the minimalist but cute graphics, the mole is adorable and fits very well with the environment elements too!
Nice audio choice too, I believe its very important to use smoothing relaxing audios while making puzzle games, since it helps the player fell calm while playing again difficult levels.
The only advice I would give is to add some extra difficulty, maybe letting the iron blocks fall fown when directly diggin beneath them.
Congratulations on such an entertaining game!
Thank you so much for your detailed response!
About your advice it was my original plan to do this, but because of the time shortage and struggling to make it look good I decided to keep them floating. I will definitely add this mechanic in the future.
I am really happy you liked my game! :D
Very clever design. Nice and very responsive movement. Good puzzles. Not easy, you need to put some effort to finish all levels but its not too hard.
Great job!
Hey. I really like you wall climbing implementation with sprite rotation. In my game I solved it just with gravity disabling.
Cute. I was dissapointed at the lack oy gravity but otherwise it was cute and fun.

Very lovley art design. i really like this lttle mole :) Great work!
Thank you I worked hard on her. This was my first time to try animate movement. ;-; <3
Very well designed puzzle, it was great to make it to the end
Epic game, love the graphic design.
Love the way you implemented the theme. Gameplay is also nice.
I hope you like my game too!
That is a very nice game! I really like the digging mechanics and the graphics. I thing that would be useful is a restart button if you dig through all the walls to the left and right and cant climb on anything because the nearest ground it 1 tile up. Good work!
Hi there Is a restart button it's 'R' and I wrote it down in the tutorial and the controls screen. I will try to make it more accessible in the future. :) thank you so much for the reply.
great game , really liked the concept and art work , I would only add a level selection screen so I could continue from point where I stopped playing.
Thank you for the reply. :) I was planing on adding the selection screen but I run out of time, I most defiantly will in the future. :)
A great game, had good fun working my way round, the mini map was a great idea but it would have been nice to be able to zoom out as a lot of time the results were trial and error with no way to undo a move which was frustrating.
Thank you so much :) this is a great idea indeed, this and maybe checkpoints or somthing.
A really fun game. But sometimes you just get stuck on some levels. The music was very calming too.
I added a walkthrough in the comments if you get stuck :)
Thanks for the reply.
your game is real time killer
love the game play but the controls are not smooth.
if you mind next time try to do a responsive smooth mouvment like the one in the game Celeste
the animation also need some work but the game still cool
great work
enjoyed ; )
Thank you for your reply :) I'm sorry the controls are not smooth enough for you, this is my second jam and I tried really hard.
Very good game!
thank you! :)
I am very impressed how you manage a lot of levels on 1 week is incredible! The music was very relaxing and the game was really fun even tho I got stuck in one of the levels I think it was impossible to beat. Overall nice work! :D
It is possible, I played it many times. I think I know where you stuck at.
If you want I can upload an walk-through.
Thanks for the reply, it means a lot :)
I will definitely play it again!!!
I added a walkthrough at the comments, feel free to try again when you have the time :)
Really cool game!! The puzzles at the end are at just another level as compared to first few!! It was total fun playing your game!! Congrats!
i like the puzzle and how you start with minimum movement and you learn more stuff on the way.
only a small issue, if you play the game in full screen you can't leave the game xD
Um.. if your'e playing on web browser you should be able to minimize with Esc, if not then hit 'Q' in the game and the 'Quit' button in the main menu. this should do the trick (if everything is working correctly) :)
