Even though it seems unstable, it's one of my favourite concepts. I like the risk/reward of taking long versus short rounds. With some polish, better UI and an improved tutorial, I really see this turning into a gem of a game! 

For others: if you reload the game, oftentimes the "Endless" button works. Don't go off the grid and just try to stick to WASD. Also, digging for the Golden City is done by clicking Dig (I first thought you ended every turn trying to dig, so I failed my first 5 games haha).

I have tried it multiple times and really really want to like it! But I can't really play it. It seems to crash or stop. I can't click Endless mode either. I really love the concept and it looked great on stream!

I would love to play (more?)!

I really love these kind of games, especially this style of letter(pixel?) art and had lots of fun playing, but when I tried to go to a chest the game stopped responding. Also it took me some time to find out that you had to press the GO and Dig button.

I tried the game, but it’s really hard to play with the game being stuck most of the time. I think the game “crashes” as soon as you go outside the grid. I have to refresh the page to give it another attempt. Sometimes pressing Play Endless also crashes or doesn’t do anything :(.

The UI is hard to see on a 1920x1080 resolution, perhaps lowing the games screen resolutions helps reading the UI text.

I think the bottom right is like a hint of there the treasure should be at? But I feel like this is not giving me the right hits at all…

Fun game :)

PLaying in Chrome on a Chromebook, the Tutorial has its slow scrolling text, then it ends. I press [right arrow] 3 times which shows up at the bottom of the screen, but then nothing else. I didn't feel very informed about what to do. Would love to come and review it if I knew what was meant to happen.
