For puzzle games, set your rules and goals. Add some twists to what you already have, then you have a base form of a great game. Put more effort on cosmetics and effects, and perhaps you can try Bigfishgames.

This is a great game. Graphics super cute and fitting. Sounds fitting. Gameplay interesting and entertaining. And maybe you wanna consider making it roguelike/-lite? Refering to randomly generated maps, this would fit this game so well. Anyway, really good job on this, nice one!

Thanks for playing Henryetha! I was with something rogue-like in mind, something like in the grass enemies cant see you, but time was not my friend, live evertime :) Thanks again!

This looks really cute!  You need to put the controls in the game itself, though, not just the description.  Not sure if I've brought this up before, but this applies to all the games in this jam.

It makes no sense that this mole can dig under into the sea and come back up safely on land, but I guess that's what you were going for?  So I'll take it.
What's the goal?  I need a clear, defined goal to go with this gameplay.  Also, what are these things I'm collecting, cheeze sticks?  This is a big map and a cute game, but I'm just collecting cheeze sticks to seemingly no real end.  I like how the cheese sticks are moving to the beat, though.
I died by accidently digging into the water--why can I die at all?  Is the goal just to get points?  That doesn't really invest me, but ok.
Why is the game even called CAVE if it's about digging?  Is there a cave full of treasure later?
The most cheese sticks I collected is 23.  I stopped after dying to the spikes; those are quite frustrating and easy to dig into.  Overall I liked this game--it's cute, has some good game design elements.  It's just a bit to simple for my tastes.

Love the graphics, absolutely adorable. The cloud shadows are a small detail that I will probably copy in my own games :P I did feel though that the digging mechanic could have been made a little smoother, by maybe using the same key to activate and dig. Also when rushing through I would occasionally dig in a diagonal direction, but I guess I was going too fast. Either way it was fun to dig around and control the little mole!
