Cool game - simple controls and was able to figure everything out as I went without it feeling too punishing. Had a great time and well done on the submission!

This is awesome.  The death effect is so satisfying, and hitting the goals is too.  I finished in about 8 or so minutes.  Would love to play more of this.  Nice job

Solid gameplay, I think it would make a great mobile game as it has simple controls. Loved the minimalist pixel art graphics too. Lot of fun playing it!

(p.s the cubes in the menu being tossed around is a nice touch!)

Pretty interesting. I liked the game play but my favorite part are the graphics. I just love pixel art.

I really liked the fact that you have to go down. 

Good luck!

Nice game!

I got a bug that forced me to quit when I died - I had 3 lives left, but I couldn't move anymore, while the game kept running, including rocks falling from the top.

Other than that, the game is fun and the controls feel super nice. The retro visuals are very cool!

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry about the bug. We ran into a few super minor edge case things in testing that we didn’t have time to fix. I never managed to get stuck but I definitely believe it.

No worries, I just thought I'd report it in case you plan to work on the game more!

This game is definitely one of my favorite of the lot. The music does not get repetitive, the minimalist graphics are well suited. Would like to see the difficulty ramped up a little. For instance if you miss a chest you can still make your way back up and double tap a path to acquire it quite easily. Other than that amazing submission.

I LOVE how the digging pace is PERFECTLY synced up to the music. The dramatic slow-mo explosion on death.  Those things feel really nice. I enjoyed it!

Really nice game! Digging is always satisfying!

Good pacing on how things were seamlessly introduced :)

Yo this game is actually cool, I had fun trying to figure out what I could do with digging and the wall jump. Things are introduced in a fun way over the course of the first few minutes without breaking pace, which is impressive.

This game is dictated by some simple rules that somehow provide a lot of complexity and depth. The difficulty ramps up at a great pace and keeps things hectic and interesting. It is very fun, engaging, and addicting. Well done!

This game is chill but frantic at the same time. It has a real gear shift moment that i felt like did peter out it could keep ramping maybe i did not make it that far. Dope game!
