Very cute visuals and sounds, simple premise with a clever take on the theme, super fun gameplay loop, with a very generous lategame that speaks to the miner power fantasy in my soul? Yes please. This was a whole lot of fun! Rock and stone!

Hey Merulon! Fancy seeing you here! I failed my first run for getting home too late, dad running on fumes, and me not knowing the correct combo for the health pot. Second run though, I rushed a strong income, picking up Boots > Pickaxe > Boots > Pickaxe upgrades as soon as I could afford them. Only using the first ore and running back and forth to refill my spook meter. Then I made a trip home, with plenty of time left on dad to experiment with gem combos. Launched notepad on the side and got cooking. Diamond + Sapphire + Emerald was the health pot I think? Healed dad to full, Went back to the grind, using the second ore pile this time, now that I had upgraded tools. Farmed pleeenty of gems, using some potions from the combo experiment earlier. Buying a mirror lets you see dad's healthbar at all times, if you're worried about how long to stay mining. Mining speed potion makes the numbers go brrr, I always combo'd this with luck potion to maximize the effect. And I used bravery potions when I had the other two buffs running. Once you get the pickaxe and boots upgraded, you can go crazy and mine forever, easily keeping dad alive and chugging potions like crazy.
