Dig Snow! by magnontobi

[raw]
made by magnontobi for LD31 (JAM)
This is a game that me and my friends made over the weekend. I was responsible for the coding and they for other things (see credits in game). It is very unoptimized, but we all managed to run it fine. The code is also the most messy that I have ever written in my entire life. Anyway, it's our attempt at our first LD game ever. Hope you get some enjoyment out of it! :D

IMPORTANT: Requires the latest version of Java. If you are unable to run the game, upgrade Java here: http://www.java.com/

EDIT: Added a Java 7 compiled version. Please let me know if that works better for you guys! <3

649! That's a pretty killer score you got there!
(I only managed 49.)
Nice, simply fun. I dig it!

Nice work, but why did you leave out most of the voting categories? I can only vote on audio and humor...

It seems to require Java 8. I upgraded from java 7 to 8 and it works. You've only marked Audio and Humor and judging categories. Was that intentional? I'll wait for an answer before I rate the game. It looks nice.

Oh, and that 649 score took me like half an hour to achieve. Just sayin'...

I've got 78. Hint: it's easier to move around with left hand, and dig with right. I like this game.

I thought it was great. I scored 15. This game makes me really want to buy a mechanical keyboard.

OK, now I remember, why I dread winter sometimes. All that snooow...
Cute game though, especially since at the moment I actually miss snow - it's raining outside and that's pretty anticlimactic before Christmas.
