1 Day, 1K by Tridecimal

[raw]
made by Tridecimal for LD28 (COMPO)
You start off with one day (it shows as 24 hours in the game) and $1000 and you have to dig as far into the ground as possible while collecting minerals to get more money, for extra hours or faster speed, and dodging moles that want to kill you for being on their turf.

Simple yet good. I love it. Only thing, that you mine with double speed when going diagonal as you get the same Y and X speed. Suits theme well.

Fun to play, but it was quite hard to keep up with buying upgrades while trying to mine down.

Some things I've noticed:
1.)The moles are annoying at deeper levels.
2.)I don't quite get where the theme "you only get one" is. (I assume "you only get one day")
Other than that, quite an addictive game.

Screenshots look good. Wasn't able to load it on a macbook air, latest safari, firefox or chrome.

Not bad, my mouse was a bit wonky with the game sometimes though... Not sure if that is on my end.

Its nice being able to choose your own pace of the game. Those moles are vicious.

Interesting concept. I was so focused on playing I didn't realize you could buy upgrades for the first couple rounds. Overall fun to play.

very nice -- very simple... I died the first time, until I realized buying a speed boost is required to outrun the moles. fun to play, not complex, but doesn't try to be... nice little arcade game.

please rate mine if you have the time.

It's a good concept with a good implementation. The upgrades remind me of those "get as far as you can" games where you can buy upgrades to make the thing go further, except they aren't persistent. I like the simple music, but an ambient track would make it better. I liked it!

Nice idea. I'm always a fan of games where you can chip away at pixels :)

Really nice take on a "sidescroller" - not my piece of cake, but enjoyed it :)

Cool game. Took me a while to figure out that I had to click upgrades. Overall I enjoyed it.

This is really fun!
I didn't realise you could upgrade until someone mentioned in the comments.

It was cool, but I don't see where the theme really fits in. Good job though!

Fun game. It would have been nice if there was something different to look at other than dirt, minerals, and moles.

Surprisingly fun for such a simple game, well done.

The moles seemed like they moved faster if I switched from moving diagonally to just horizontal to try and dodge them ,which is backwards I think, since they should be quicker if I am moving towards them. It was challenging to make it far. It was enjoyable enough to play many rounds trying to best my records!

I personally didn't enjoy it, but congrats on finishing LD. This game is more about "digging" than "you only get one".

Really simple but fun game, very addicting after a while. I enjoyed it and included it in my Ludum Dare 28 video compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/sSLhI-W0qCg

Good game! Some decision you gotta make during the game between hours or speed haha! I didn't realize how to upgrade at first.

Would have been great with some background music but was still a very fun game regardless. I managed to get a high score of 9015 before I quit playing. Very addicting game. ^_^
