I had a pretty funny moment where i had not yet realised that the enemies fall down the holes ive made, so i looked away for a second thinking i was safe. When i looked back two enemies were about to hit me and it was too late for me to react haha :D
One suggestion I have is to use only two face buttons on the gamepad, digging could be attack combined with down or something instead.
Well done! ^^
The showell range is small and attack speed is too slow, it's a bit annoying. The dig controls works well, I would like dig anywhere to create my own way. The background music is nice. The tutorial in first level is very helpful. You should add effect and animation between level to show scores and congrats player (like spelunky)
Overall, it's a good job.
I think the digging and attacking could be a bit snappier, not sure but I felt the attack and digging was also increasing in speed when I was descending.
Overall, good potential for an addictive game here.
I would recommend adding more keys to the controls, using S to dig and something like J/K/L to attack (so you can keep one hand for WASD and the other to attack).
