I love that you made a game about dowsing too. :) I managed to get to the end of the game. It was just the right length. If it hadn't ended as soon as it did, it would've needed some different mechanics being introduced to keep the treasure finding interesting. One question though, what the heck was that yellow drop that falls down when the muscle-heads are digging? Couldn't figure that one out."},{"author_name":"fluidvolt","author_uid":"26913","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:53am","epoch":1398818880,"text":"@HybridMind: that's actually the remnant of a ditched game mechanic, interestingly enough. I was going to have seagulls come and bother the diggers, and you'd have to swipe at the... stuff they dropped. Kinda crass now that I think of it. Actually, if you press left or right while digging you'll see I got far enough programming it that they will swipe. But there's no penalty if you don't! I ended up leaving the drop in anyway.\r\rThank you, and everyone else for the feedback. This is my first LD and it's been awesome."},{"author_name":"Mikianthony","author_uid":"36917","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 9:09am","epoch":1398935040,"text":"Love the art, but had trouble finding anything after first TV.
