Oh man does this induce a lot of panic when you're low on air. The collision is dodgy, it's hard to actually tell when you can and can't pass through something. Good game!

A hard game :)

The amount of air for each nugget could be higher, but great work, I love mining games!

Difficult, but fun. I agree that nuggets can give a little bit more air.

Pretty hard. Maybe the amount of air you get by selling the gold should be a bit higher. But the game is definitely fun! I also like the pixel art and the colors you chose.

Hi. The pickup gold noise made me jump! Balance seemed a bit off about collecting and getting air replenished... are you always doomed to lose after 1 long trip ?

Indeed, quite hard game and somehow I couldn't restart it without reloading the whole page. This would be lovely if it would be slightly easier, maybe you wouldn't use any air at the dome? Also add Terraria style crafting like bigger air tank, better drill... drool... :)

I feel like nuggets should give you more air, but other than that it's fun! A nice take on the classic digger game.

Had fun (dwaft fortress definition of fun ;D ) playing this.
Did any one get a score beyond one thousand and a few hundred? (an online highscore would be really nice for this kind of game)

Nice game, I like the little fish swimming around...
Some more air per nugget would help.
And an explanation of the white nuggets, they dont seem to be helpful at all...

Nice and clean game idea, I like it! It kind of reminds me of Dare to Dig from LD28.

You might want to make the width of the character's collision box smaller. It is extremely hard to get into a already-built tunnel from the top.

Nice fun game! I dashed through the earth as crazy, but the people in the dome gave me so less air, knowing I wouldn't have much time to argue about :D
Good job

Good job. I could spend a lot of more time playing this game if it was better balanced!
