Digging Deeper by seurimas

made by seurimas for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

You've got your shovel. You've got bucket. What more could you ask for? Well, two helpful tools are waiting for you as you dig deeper. Enjoy!

Controls: Click buttons. There's some typing as well, if you get that deep.

Disclaimer: This is what I call a not-so-idle game, because it was intended to be an idle game, but the "idle" part was descoped. As such, your enjoyment may vary. It's short, though, and you'll maybe have a nice trip if you go in expecting very little.

I can't dig or do anything. Could you give controls for this game?

AS far as I understand this game, you click dig a bunch until your bucket fills up then you wait for your bucket to empty as you click and hold. I just don't see how skill comes into play, it seems like there is no insentive to carry on, as the gameplay itself is not what I would consider 'fun'. The gamplay is very repetitive and exceedingly linear.

@noam-zeise Harsh, but fair. Skill-based play was in no way our goal, though.

@cubex It's all buttons on the screen. The buttons in the top-right open up tool cards, which can be used for excavation.

The "Download" section says there is a Linux version, but when I download the only available zip, it's a .exe
