Love the game! Especially as your first GWJ submission, very well done! I would love to see a full version that has a vs. mode to play with games! I can see myself playing this with a group of friends, trying to be the best archeologist! 

My only suggestion would be to be careful of the font for your tutorial, having a bolder black font with a dark blue can muddy the words just a bit, especially with such a bright background.

This is a great concept, with some timing/pacing adjustments like others have mentioned this could be amazing. Nice job :)

I won! whoo despite Karls best efforts. I think he and his slingshot had it in for me. Was very satisfying finally stealing a big artifact from him to win the game. Nice entry and take on the ancient theme!

Fun game concept!  I like the competitive aspect of the game where you're competing to sell the most artifacts.  The chaos of other opponents trying to stun you while you're trying to dig up a big artifact is exciting - it feels like it would be a fun multiplayer experience.

I did find myself clicking a lot to dig up artifacts - it would be nice to dig up artifacts with less active clicking or in less time.

This is a solid entry! The digging reminded me of the old Goof Troop game for the SNES. I wish the digging were faster though. It was satisfying to dig things up, it just took too long!

Takes a while to play - maybe speed up the digging time? But I enjoyed this concept (once I found the tutorial!) and I think it would be fun to add multiplayer too

This was fun! The first time I played Karl won, and I was in 2nd place. The second time, I used a strategy of shooting people as they were close to finishing digging or on their way back to sell their items, as well as digging only on the big patches to look for the blue statues. I ended up winning in 8m 23s! :)

A good concept with some fun  gameplay. I liked the music a lot. In first i thought it was for other players. Good concept for couch fun.

So much fun.

Once I realized the power of outsourcing the digging and the slingshot, it was a game changer!

Such a fun concept and really well executed. Good job!

Thank You! Glad you liked it.

I also wanted to make that you can randomly dig up mummy instead of relic, but there was no time
