The music is really nice, and the sound effects are not too bad.
Gameplay-wise, the difficulty curve feels about right, but it could be made more interesting, for example, by slowing down movement the more coins you're carrying. This would force the player to consider returning to the truck before they have all the coins. Maybe some special single-use abilities could also help to make it more interesting, such as a shield that you can activate only briefly and needs to recharge.
Not sure I'm as huge of a fan about the context of the game (depicting a character who literally digs gold doesn't remove the negative connotation of the phrase). I also admit it's too simple for me to be engaging, but the focus on a single experience is much appreciated.
The colorful environment left me a bit confused as to the narrative.
The drawing of the main character was very well done, as I see it.
The visual feedback when picking up a coin can be improved. I liked the sound effect when you get the coin.
The visual feedback when you die can be improved too, dying at once seems uncomfortable in this type of game, it would be interesting to have two or three "hit points" before dying.
Other than that, I had a lot of fun trying to complete the levels of the game. Congratulations.
