cool and simple! i like that you have limited steps in the mine but wish there was a timer element or something pressuring me to mine faster. good job : )

Once I figured it out, it was nice! It'd be cool to add a shop, so that you can buy more moves per mining trip with the excess money you make, or even pickaxe upgrades or bombs or something like that! I like the music and the concept, overall a good jam submission. With more time I'm curious what cool stuff you can come up with! :)

Thanks for playing my game dude! All the things you listed were sat inside my mind haha! Next time I do a jam im going to make sure I use all of the time! Your feedback is greatly appreciated and im happy you actually enjoyed the game even in its half baked state :D

It took me a little to understand the game. I'd recommend adding some sort of tutorial or just an explanation on the itch page. Adding borders so the player cant move off screen could also help.

Thank you so much for giving the time to try out my game! Definitely needs a tutorial, and I'll actually act on your suggestion and put some basic instructions on the page. The issue with the clipping, so basically because I'm updating the players position instead of applying velocity the player is basically just able to go through and in collisions lol. I needed to add raycasts to check if there is a wall to stop movement but sadly did not have to time to implement. Thank you for the feedback!

Sadly I didn't understood how to play the game, but I need to leave a comment for it has a beautiful music, although it is really short it has a very good base !

Thank you dude! Sadly I didn't have time to make a tutorial haha, it was supposed to be a grid based cozy game where you mine geodes, break them into gems and sell them to customers. I didn't get everything the way I wanted it but was determined to upload at least something! Thank you so much for playing and leaving feedback, really appreciated
