Dig Dog! by Arvejeitor

made by Arvejeitor for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Here's my submission for Ludum Dare #48 The game was inspired by classics like Boulder Dash or Supaplex, but with little differences.

You're a dog, and you love to dig... so dig! the deeper you dig, the bigger the score!

My plan was to make a mobile game, but i didn't finish it on time... so here's web and desktop versions (mobile is in the works!)

I don't know who I am, I don't know how I got here. All I know is that I must dig. Fun Game, good pupper.

Overall nice, the first time the stones went down, got me :D! Tho after a while it became repettitive, it kinda lacksa long term objective / obstacle

I made it to 4k points. I don't think it was getting harder. That dog made a heck of a hole!

I had a fun time playing this. I've never played Boulder Dash or Supaplex before but I might have to give them a try if they are anything like this. My only complaint about this game is that the music was a little loud but that was easily solved by turning down my own volume. So when is this comming to arcades everywhere.

@ryjcio you're right... level design wasn't the best (I saved it for last minute)
I was thinking in adding some pick ups for extra points, like a bone or something, and place them in tricky places

Fun game, I got to 10000 points before stopping. In addition to the pick ups comment above, it might also be nice to add some sort of timer with pick ups that add time or bonus for digging quickly to keep the pace faster.

Fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games!

Nice and fun variation on Boulder Dash :)
Funny graphics.
My idea for potential improvements: It would be nice to add some more elements (like buried bones with extra points and effects) and hand crafted sections with some more challenge awarding bones for taking the the challenging route.

Good job!

This was a pretty cool game! I love the artwork, and the bloopy music is nice too!

I did however find a softlock (though you have a reset button, so it's no big deal). You can get stuck in this corner with no way of losing.

Anyway, the was a pretty great game! Nice work!

It was a fun game, really simple but addictive! The art style is cute, the music was nice, just a little too loud for me.

I don't have much suggestions to offer, just maybe to add more diversity in the levels? Like different kind of objects to grab, or maybe some ennemies along the way. But it's a really fine entry as it is, so good job!
