Awesome art style and good special object response.
Unfortunately, I didn't understood quite well how I can bring back friends home. You have to be very careful with them on your head and you can "stuck" yourself a lot by digging too much.
One of a good way to get around that would've been to be able to fill the dirt to create staircases and to make your friends stay sticky on your head (but maybe not being able to do other actions than jump and move while doing that).
Great artistic entry.
