I really like the mood, and isometric style - but gosh did I keep digging my own grave! That being said, with more time, polish and bug fixing, I think you have a pretty sweet concept that's worth exploring further.

Thanka mate! I have fixed it but I ran out of time :( 
Thanks for having a go though <3

Visually impressive. I just kill myself every time with the digging :(

Developer

Yeah, it's a hard one! I think it would have been better to have the player always land on a tile

Interesting game! I wasn’t quite sure what my objective was, apart from collecting coins haha. I also found that I more often died after using the dash then anything else haha.

I see the vision you were going for, just needs some improvements. The art was really well done, getting things to look right in isometric isn’t easy, and it looks great!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, there's a little guy in the second level who explains it, but now that I see it, he's pretty well hidden, so it's easy to miss him! If you get the golden shovel, it makes you immune to fall damage. :D

Thanks for the feedback, though! I might spend a bit more time after the jam to get it working properly.

The shovel mechanic is very cool! I love the environment style. The game is a bit buggy though, like enemies will walk off the edges and you can die twice in a row if you shovel off the edge of the map. Great entry though!

Thanks, mate! 😃
Hahaha, yeah, in hindsight, I should have filled in all the tiles so enemies wouldn’t fall off until you dash and create a hole. Definitely something to tweak! Glad you liked it!
