Dig to the Core by Hederlunden

[raw]
made by Hederlunden for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

If you want a good experience, please download the game. Using webgl will result in crap audio quality and you just wanna hit the mute button real fast. It's for your own good, trust me.

Update: I fixed a bug where people with low ​resolution weren't able to play the game. I hope it was allowed...

There are 2 endings to this game. Can you get both?

This is my second gamejam

​Once upon a time there was a miner. One day he wanted to mine down to the core of the earth. You are the miner. Screenshot1.PNG

Mine ores and dirt in an epic world of dirt. Buy new shovels so you can mine better ores and discover the secrets of the earth. Get new friends, face your fears and have fun! (second last sentence not guaranteed​)

Screenshot3.PNG Controls: Arrow keys.

Also why can't I opt out of the fun category?

Well done on creating this! It's a fun experience that makes you want to keep digging deeper, is the level infinite? It would have been nice to make the wall boundaries a different colour and also it would be cool to buy power ups that make you dig faster. Good job.

over all i thought it was a good game but could use some work sometimes it lets u dig up diamonds with starting shovel and sometimes the movement glitches and dose not let u move so u have to press the button again and the camera movement is fine when moving down but it is not good going sideways or left to right or right to left the camera just snaps into place giving me a head ache also what is the up arrow for, and is the space bar for anything all i heard was a noise when pressing it overall it was a ok game sorry for the lengthy comment ps i like the shop system but the Dimond shovel was kinda over priced also i use discord darkmode lol

really good music, wasn't repetitive enough that you got sick of it by the time it changes
the gameplay got a little repetitive towards the end and there wasn't much stopping me from just tunnelling straight down from the beginning
the ending was very good and got a good chuckle out of me

Such a good ending! The gameplay was kind of boring but definitely worth it

Very interesting game. Operation has a little delay.
While playing, I encountered a small bug, in this case I can not move to the left.

Not the best graphics but a fun little game and the music is great.

I think the shop could have more upgrades, for example, some dynamite and maybe upgrade the dynamite radius and strength.

And I would have liked to be able to dig 1 block above the player.

Overall a good game, good job.

This is fun to play! I just wish there was some kind of better scrolling. Good entry!

I loved the changes to the good soundtrack as I went down. I found the creative ending and I liked the animation. Although cute, art is not a strong point, but it's no big deal, it’s a great game and I enjoyed playing it. Great job!

20000 well spent. Nice vibe - progression and conclusion quite rewarding.

I think this puts you over 20 votes just before the deadline ... good luck!
