Pretty nice, the camera not catching up to you fast enough was a little annoying, but I still found it pretty fun. Nice job!

Very nice. Not being able to see what's below me as I was digging gave me some anxiety. Maybe that's a good thing. Would love to see the character animated a little with some dirt particles and some slightly gentler sfx :)

239! :D This is simple but a lot of fun. Very nice. Makes my wrist hurt after a while!

Simplistic, yet addicting. The only advice I'd say is change some of the sounds a little, the digging sound is a bit ear piercing to hear over and over again.

Really cool, but that sound...

Oh that digging sound!
Overall quite nice in the way how it completely stresses me out (oh that sound!).
The difficulty just pretty unfair since there is nothing I can do to see where I am going. So if I end up in a dead end I really could not do anything about it. Still, nice little game.

What a button mashing ;) The dig sound was a bit annoying but I couldn't stop trying to get deeper for a while ;)

Simple. Needed some more stuff to keep it interesting, I think.

Why does the web link take me to a webpage with an "S"?

Really fun! Needed a bit of animation though. It had really fun game-play but would probably give someone RSI (repetitive strain injury) if they played too long XD + Highscore 110

I like this! Very simple an effective. Neat take on an endless runner. Good job. Very easy to build on this concept.

I like it all except for my finger getting really tired. I think if the character moved without pressing multiple times it would make for a more user-friendly game, though then of course the panic-ness wouldn't be there.

So I guess mechanically I'd have liked something less painful to be the game :P

But good job, well polished!

I like the death spin animation thingy!

Hard but fun, I kept wanting to keep trying. Spamming the button became quite painful pretty quickly, i kind of wanted to just be able to hold it down and dig (my tendons really wanted this to be the case). I love the dramatic dutch angle at the end when you die. Nice work!

Simple game but quite fun. Feels good to mine through stuff. The rotation effect when you die is neat. It did feel like a bit of a button mash at times though, and maybe it could do with more types of obstacles.

I feel that the digging should work while holding a key down rather than requiring "mashing". Other than that it's fun! Particularly like the death sound/partial spin animation!

Very simple. Very accurate title name. Quite fun for a little bit.

Simple but fun gameplay with nice graphics - and I really like the digging sound effect. I don't know why, but it gives the game a humorous touch.

The rotating zoom at the end is golden, haha. Also your game has lava, which is pretty much a hallmark of all the best games!
