It's Warioware except it's digging / deepness themed (kind of).
Featuring:
Four different mini games
- A slam dunking game
- A rocket blocking game
- A keypad entry game
- A game called "Crack Finder"
The same difficulty no matter how many levels deep you go
The ability to restart if you run out of lives
No soundtrack, but one sound effect included!

I guess my only complain is at the slam dunk minigame, I got like a score of 10 and still failed (not sure if it's a bug or I just suck at it)
Overall it was nice! Also it's cool seeing Pico games in LD.
If you are definitely doing for a fun micrograme collection a-la WarioWare, there are definitely stuff that makes this one not work as well, and thus, not as fun as you expected. So let me tell you about each one:
* **Slam Dunk:** Dunk once, then continue. There's no point on making multiple dunks. You should also probably relocate the hoop every time the microgame starts.
* **Crack Finder:** Once you find the cracker, you have to wait a very long time, which makes it painfully slow... If only you could add a way to detect it being found after 1 second of looking at it...
* There's also a problem with movement in general. Going left is slow, but going right is fast?
* **Keypad Entry:** *The outlier.* Like, on a game filled with keyboard inputs you're forcing to use the mouse all of a sudden. Though, this can be circumvented by allowing to move a highlight by arrow keys. (...and that's a lot of numbers!)
* **Rocket Blocking:** Literally the only pure microgame and will work well.
Well, it's not the microgames are a problem, the transition is as well...
* Funnily enough, 4 seconds is too long?
* As difficulty doesn't scale, it does get stale quick. Shortening the timer always helps instead the more you go through.
* "A to start." Uh... yes in a Tic80 sense, but you meant Z, right?
Nonetheless, you do have a makings of a microgame collection, it's just missing that fast paced panic microgames usually have. Good work though!
