Amazing Level Design man , Great Job :D
Thanks :) Yours was great!
Loved the mechanics and the way you implemented the theme. Really good level design and I liked the color scheme very much. Nice work :)
Thank you. I've played yours and left a comment :)
Yes another game that i beat x'3, i'm amaze by the level you design lol, some really need to think about each step to take haha, fun little game, i enjoy it a lot x'D
I really appreciate your comment :) I'm glad the level design turned out well: the developer really has no way of telling how good it is because in puzzle games so much of the experience comes from not knowing the answer. I liked yours too!
a really unique and fun puzzle game!, i love art style and the simple yet challenging game mechanics!
the level design too is very good :)
i Like it :)

Great little puzzle game, quite challenging sometimes and the digging mechanic is interesting! Great work!
Thanks! I liked yours too.
Awesome puzzle game, really well-designed! Only thing missing is some audio. I hope more people play your game because it deserves more ratings. Well done!
Thank you very much! I wanted to do audio, but I unfortunately ran out of time. Yours is great!
Great! It was challenging and really enjoyable, mechanics are very interesting. Definitely, the game deserves more ratings. Good luck :)
Thanks! Yours is good too.
Cool puzzle game! I really like the twist; that digging holes prevents you from moving back to that tile. Made for some interesting puzzles, but I think you could have taken it a lot further. I found it really difficult to determine the orientation of enemies and which way they were about to look. I know that there were subtle indications for both of these, but I'd recommend making them more obvious. If you insist on sticking with the 8x8 art (which is very nice) then you could show a vision cone, or highlight the tiles in their view? Overall very fun, would be interesting to see what you could do with a few more levels!
Thanks for the feedback! I would also like to make some more levels - I was planning to have more but I ran out of time during the jam. Vision cones are a very good idea, and maybe I could have a vision cone for their current vision and then a flashing one for where they're going to be looking next. Thanks again, that was very helpful :)
Very beautiful pixel art, and simple but really challenging game! I enjoyed!
Thanks! I enjoyed yours too :)
Great level design, visuals look good (wish it was a little bigger to see things clearer!) Excellent puzzle game!
Thank you! I totally agree with your critique - I wanted to do the graphics in 8x8 tiles so it was easier for me to draw them, but the overall clarity of the graphics could be much better. Your game is great too!
Great game! The level design is great and so are the mechanics.
Thank you! Your game was very good too.
Thank you!
I can't move, can't dig after touching the button on the level with a button and enemy (second level with a button)
It is intentional that you can't dig while on a button, and also that when you dig in or out of the ground you leave an impassable hole - this might explain why you can't dig or move. I'm aware that perhaps my hole graphics could be clearer. Are you sure it's a bug? If not, I'd really like it if you tried again so you could play the whole game.
Nailed it. It was't easy:) Thanks
Thanks a lot for trying again :)
Really damn good!
Thank you very much. Yours is fantastic too!
Ok, let me tell you that this is an HIDDEN GEM
The mechanic of digging and leaving holes is simply AWESOME and the level design is top level quality.
The graphics reminds me that pico-8 games and it's enjoyable.
It's one of the most solid games that I played for this jam
KUDOS!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
