This game is really good. The numbers work perfectly and I love how having a lantern enables you to see what's coming next so you can do more mining. It really tests your reactions and I was able to win with the first and second lantern upgrades but not without them. Overall, it's awesome and I can't think of anything that could make it better than it currently is

Very interesting gameplay loop. The upgrade system is well designed, each upgrade feels like a massive boost to the mining speed. Solid visuals and sound effects, though a music track to mine along to and time swings would have been nice. The gameplay reminds me of old school rhythm games, or something similar to Cadence of Hyrule.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you found the gameplay interesting and the upgrade system well designed, everything felt very last minute. Part of me likes the ambient noises with no sound the other part wants to jam out lol.  I've never made music on for a game or anything so if I find one I could put it in, maybe as an option.  Thanks again for playing!
