Fun concept, I liked chaining coffees together to go super fast. I wanted a lot more left/right control though, I didn't feel like I had enough time to react to get coffee / dodge lava, so I just tried to get coffee when I could and not hitting lava was up to good luck. Consider trying out responsive controls with instant changes in direction so the player can weave through obstacles.
The ending looks fun, shame I didn't make it there!

Nice concept, and congrats on your first LD. With a bit of balancing you might have something great here

Thanks ! You are definitely right about the difficulty, I am afraid nobody will see the ending, maybe not even the middle of the game ! Too late for a change I guess ?

Haha, got 3 coffees in a row and then smashed into a lava :) A very fun game but a bit difficult in the start. I agree with Ishisoft regarding the controls, would be nice with instant changes but perhaps that would make it too easy? Nice job!

Your game reminded me of "Dig To China", which I played some days ago on Kongregate. It is a good concept, specially using coffee, but I found annoying the game controls.

It also would be cool if you tell beforehand that the red bricks cannot be touched, we discover this in the middle of the game (I thought it was a special mineral).

Good Job though.

Fun little game. The coffee bit was pretty funny too. The controls were a bit hard, but that's fine. Going to fast though makes hitting lava too easy, so it seems the best strategy is to limit your coffee intake.

Now that was fun and funny. I enjoyed it. Somehow it had a littlt C64 feel to it, I can't say why. Great Work.

Love the premise of a caffeine-fueled dwarf! Good work.

I like it. The game feels quite polished. The only complaint is, that the controls feel unresponsive. The way it is right now, it feels a bit random how the game will play out.

Quite simple but also a lot of fun. I like the coffee drinking animation and how it has an effect on the gameplay. Nice stuff!
