Something about the controls and movement felt a little cranky. I'm not 100% sure what it is... but I think if you click anywhere below the player (rather than immediately below), he should mine down, anywhere to the right, he should mine right, etc. The level of precision I needed to click the exact tile I wanted to mine was a little bit too hard for me.
I think this was very well-done, and I'm glad I got to play it!
Is there any How To Guide or did I just get like 30 bad RNGs? The acid is super fast and I can't dig further than 4 blocks until it reaches me. Digging in front of it before digging down also doesn't help because once I get out of the pit, the acid fills it within half a second.
The graphics are nice, controls are fluent, sounds are cool, I just wish I could get deeper and enjoy the actual gameplay. Any hints highly appreciated. ^^
What a cool and refreshing game, really well put together. The controls are, at times, a bit uncooperative but other than that rare occurence it's a lot of fun. Game looks good, audio is great and even taking damage is an enjoyable experience for that face alone.
Congratulations on your entry !
Sad it becomes boring after you find an ultimative strategy. Also game lacks an end game conditions.
The sprite work and audio design are both exceptional. I especially enjoyed the sfx.
Awesome work overall!
Easy to get, hard to master !
Really fun and high replayability.
Also, everyone pretty much said it already, but the art is fantastic ! Nice job !
A bit too hard, and I felt like the main character missed an option to get out of the maze he made himself.
Ability to add a block in front of him maybe? I wanted to guide the liquid but cooked myself every time in the process.
Still had quite a few tries at it, and it was pretty fun and challenging. Thanks for making this game!
If I haven't missed anything there is no goal for now? That would be a great enhancement. Even if it's just a simple highscore.
The art is top notch, super clear, very precise, with a well chosen color palette.
The music and audio are good and give good feedback.
The gameplay is simple and easy to understand. I love how at the end of the first game I was like "oooh ok that's how it all works" and jumped right in a second one without having to read anything.
I had a bit of trouble playing on trackpad, but I still think your controls are a great idea. The jump felt a bit sticky against the walls at time but other than that everything was really fine and balanced.
I expected something like a score or a distance to the end to push me to continue, but after thinking about it I am not sure that would have been a good idea, it's quite good to keep all the focus on the intrinsic gratification of the core gameplay loop.
Thanks for the game and good job!
