omg that totally sounds like us! My husband does the programming and I did most of the art for our game (plug, check it out!). Your game was so much fun! Loved the artwork and it was super hard which is good :)

Also, you guys should find us on twitter or something. We're seraphicmedia. I couldn't find you...

It's got a nice look, and the controls are pretty good, too. It's a little difficult, lacking the ability to defend yourself. Very colorful, very well-made, and really nice music and sounds.

Pretty fun game, the digging mechanic reminds me of the dirt from Super Mario Bros 2. I don't like how there's no way to defend yourself though (and the saws take a bit too much health IMHO).

Fun game! Very challenging. The artwork is awesome! My wife suggested that I try a similar SMB2 digging concept, but I didn't think I could pull it off in time. You guys did great with it!

Nice graphics and gameplay, hard too. Good job guys!

I enjoyed this game.

I played for quote a while on this games :) Really good game.

Fun game. Cool concept.

We originally had plans to help defend yourself, but we ran out of time, and we didn't think it was as important as what made it into the game. As a few of you pointed out, it's obvious that I was influenced by playing SMB2 in my childhood (aah, the 90's had good games). We plan on finishing it and releasing a new version, but we will keep this version here, and on our brand new (currently otherwise blank) website.

Nicely polished. I like the art. It didn't quite make sense to me that you could go through dirt sideways. I didn't really understand the powerups until they were first used. It might be good to introduce the power ups exactly when enemies appear as well. It would also be nice to somehow store them, so you could have more control over when you can deploy that power up.

Good audio, though I think the BGM could have been tuned down a bit =P

Love the animated eye on that drill =)

anyone else get mario2 flashbacks ? This was super fun.

It's fun. It's frustrating about how hard it is to dodge, but it's balanced by how much damage you can take before losing.

lol dat explosion when you die

Thats a good game. The music and graphics completely fit together. Nice work, thank you two.

Maybe needs a bit more balancing and it would been nice if you just could hold down s instead of pressing it to move down. Still I like this game! Keep it up.

Very fun!, it remembers me Mario 2 from the NES.

I cannot play your game: when I click the "Web" link, it sends me to a WordPress page with a HelloWorld post...

Game link doesn't work

Great game, super loud music though

If you hit escape or p, you can adjust the volume of the sound effects and music. Also, installing Wordpress managed to break the link, I'm trying to fix it now.

Seems to work now.

Great debut. Congrats!

nice. good job.

Really sweet concept! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/f3WpQDAZRnI

Thank You Jupiter! We have been enjoying watching your video series, and look forward to more!

Nice game! I really like the music. I felt like I needed to be able to shoot to the sides. It was a pretty difficult game.

Dodging missiles was hard, and digging by holding down the down arrow would be nice.
However, graphics and audio were very good, as was the concept. I liked it!
