It ran better on chrome, but controls didn't seem to work very well and I would get stuck jumping around.
The graphics were nice.
I also couldn't figure out what to do with the treasure chest. I dug up to the one on the right (digging up doesn't seem to require the 'x' key), and it fell down, but I didn't find any way to break it open. Then I tried digging down, and got trapped underneath it on the bottom right. :P
It ran fine on my Firefox.
I think the gravity could be lowered so that you decelerate gradually, which would give a more smooth feel.
The digging is a bit difficult as sometimes you don't get the right tiles.
Also it's easy to get stuck in walls.
I see a lot of potential though :) If you fix up the controls and those frame rate problems, it could be great.
The graphics are very pretty too!
nice game, though... and funny name... i was kind of sort of thinking about doing a dig-dugger myself.
Eventually I got stuck under the leftmost chest and that was embarrassing XD so that was a game deadend :P
But good job the game could just do with polishing, solid idea :)
You should make the spikes hurt the mole, because I was trapped beneath the chest on the left side. Had to restart :-(
Fun digging mechanic though, although the mole seemed to dig even if i wasn't pressing X.
What can we do with chests ?
Controls seem a bit inconsistent, sometimes I can walk up underground with the up arrow, sometimes jump, and sometimes I just get stuck.
Quite liked the wall-climbing ability - maybe would have worked better if the up arrow did both climb and jump though? Also not sure if it was just me but I couldn't find a way to open the chests.
The mole looked a bit like a bird, but that only makes it more fun!
Slow down my PC even with my i5 quad-core...
Also, some sfx and/or music is needed. If you don't know how compose music (like me) or know someone to help you, I recomend you use some free music available around the web.
Pretty fun, but the controls need some work. I couldn't stop clinging to walls that sometimes didn't exist, or just getting stuck in the falling animation while hanging on a wall and not being able to move.
I think you have the funniest title though.
That being said, graphics are very nice.
