Adorable graphics

I like this game. It's a good work with nice graphics and a challenging gameplay.

Classic game, nice graphics and audio. A little irritating that you have to take the mouse to start a new game.

Hi Charlotte, thanks for the comments! I enjoyed your game, had me hooked for a while. I htink it would be nice if the tunnel was wider at the start, the getting thinner over time - i died about 10 times during the first few turns. Didn't really know what to do when i reached the first miner so just continued on and then died again. I didn't recognise the artwork? I remember you making different tiles at 8bit? Philip

Thanks for the nice comments guys ;u;

@MPaul - That's a good point o: I've edited it, so any keyboard button can now start the game :) I hope that's less annoying. Thanks for the feedback!

@Philip - Those are some really good ideas, thanks for the feedback :D Yeah xD I think maybe I should've thought about the learning curve a little more as it kind of throws you straight in and is tricky.

The miners just up your supply delivered count by 1 when you bump into them :) There's 5 of them to get, although the main point is to get to the supply miner at the bottom, so that's the important one ^^

and yeah, I re-made the tile sheet when I got home because I wasn't happy with the stuff I'd made, the other sprites were just a place holder for a little bit until I got home and could use a proper drawing program :)

The only issue with jamming at 8bit is my laptop is almost 7 years old now, so it takes forever to load the play-tests and it's not powerful enough to have any of the usual drawing tools I use working smoothly. Maybe next time I'll figure out a way to bring my main computer down with me as I do enjoy jamming with other people around :D It's just a really inefficient use of my time waiting for play tests that take 10 mins to load when my desktop does it in 20 seconds xD

Thank you for the comments :)

Congratulations on your first LD :)

Fantastic game with cute graphics.
Although the audio when dying, which I did a lot of, is very... "In your face". :P
I would almost describe it as scary. :P

This game is hard!

Great work! Nice music and a good difficulty level too - however, I would like it if there was maybe a checkpoint at each miner... it took me quite a few tries to reach the 2nd miner though I eventually got the hang of it but then on dying near, say, the 4th miner and having to do (and sometimes fail and re-do) all the early tunnels over again was a bit of a pain. Still, it's overall very fun and compelling to try again! Well done :)

Nice game! It was fun, but the audio was extremely striking whenever I died, especially as I was always concentrating so hard! Died about 30 times only getting as far as two miners (too tough for me, so I didn't finish, sorry!), but I love the crayon graphics and the music track.

Cute! You should make shift speed you up. :)

Lovely art style, love the game objective :) Quite a difficult game though. Congrats for creating your first LD game!

The art and sound effects are really cute! I definitely had a hard attack when I first hit the wall though. Game is definitely tough!

Raging to cheerful music is always fun, and quite funny! nice game

Love the cute graphics and even though the mechanic is simple it's surprisingly fun. If you decide to put more polish I suggest putting player lives so once because it's too difficult for me currently.

Super challenging, beautiful graphics, nice game! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/ln7f84GPnPg

Nice idea! Rocket-maneouvring is fun. Reminded me of MGS a bit.

It is really hard though in places.
