Game Description
Mooch is new to mining and spent every penny he has on a new drill. He turned on... but he doesn't know how to turn it off! And it's gaining speed!!
How does your game tie into the theme?
Mooch didn't forsee not knowing how to turn off the drill!

I'll be completely honest, the tie to the theme feels a little tenuous to me! ;)
That being said, this game is super charming! The art is adorable and well-drawn, and the music is brief but catchy, and doesn't grate on the ears at all. I also kept getting lag spikes that made making progress difficult, and I feel like this accelerated a little too quickly for my taste, but I kept wanting to have one more try...
This feels like exactly the kind of flash game I would've burned hours and hours on in the high school computer lab back in the early '00s, and I say that with genuine reverence and affection. That's two thumbs up from me!
Charming game with cute art. It gets very difficult really fast though. There are quite a lot of lag spikes which is what killed me most of the time. If you work on improving the performance this could become a really fun game!
Cute little mini-game! Reminds me of some old games on the TI calc :)
Wow this game is really addicting! Every time I lose, I just keep restarting. Good job!
Great art on this little game and quite fun! I think I was quite bad at it and wish that the acceleration had maybe happened a bit slower so I could have gotten into the groove a bit better before it becomes a mad dash. Music was good, wish it had been looping because I was sitting in silence after a couple runs.
Would also be nice if the money didn't reset, or there was more of a reward to collecting a lot of coin. I made it into the green once I think but that didn't get rewarded as a win state. Could see this expanded a bit with higher-worth stone tiles to collect amongst the stones, a few more sound effects, and maybe even drill upgrades that give the drill a bit of health so the run can go on for longer maybe!
Really fun game!
Fun! But unfortunately I was experiencing some performance issues (in Safari) which sometimes caused the page to refresh automatically.
simple but cute game! i was really close to gaining 500$ a couple of times but failed, i agree with the comments below that you gain speed a little too quickly
anyway it looks like a cool mobile game!
Awesome game, I didn't experience any of the lag the other commentators mentioned but the speed up did seem a little excessive, maybe a little slower ramp up. I really liked the character and music.
Really cool concept, and the character art is very charming! I think ramping up the speed a bit slower would help new players get a better grip on the controls before It gets super hard to maneuver. Nice work!
Agree with the other commenter, lag spikes are a big problem. Also I didn't get why everytime I dropped back to -500$, even if I got loads of money. Apart from that, this is a great concept, and a great execution! Great work!
Nice game, as it speeds up performance drops quickly so you end up jumping into a wall during the lag, a bit of optimization and you could have a great endless runner game here
