Rocket digger by Kaito

Hi, thanks for playing my game !
The goal is to explore the desert underground by exploding everything with a rocket. You can pick up gems to upgrade your rocket.
Controls :
Left/Right arrows to move the rocket
Spacebar to launch the rocket
C to upgrade the rocket (only when on a launchpad)
Up arrow to dash

I think an explosion sound would've gone a long way making it more fun.
Good job!
It seems that my rocket was stucked.
No sound tho thats a bit disappointing.
Nonetheless a great entry!
Great job!
though the default control is the best for me personally
Well done :)

Cool entry!
Especially for a one man job.
Good stuff:
- controls
- concept
- rocket upgrades visual feedback
- you get rich
Improvement:
- sound would add a lot (as usual) gimme michael bay explosions satisfaction
- environment graphics vs nice rocket graphics
- repetitive (1 or 2 more mechanics? different encounters?)
Well done!!
It has that addictive feel (you want all the upgrades!) that keeps you hooked.
Few things :
- I thought the rocket was a little bit slow and would have liked the possibility to accelerate or something (maybe through an upgrade even!) I know there is the dash but it didn't feel enough for me.
- Maybe a clear objective rather than a bunch of diamonds at the end to indicate that I completed the game would have felt more satifsying.
Overll very nice job I really enjoyed playing your game
Thanks for playing, I will definitely improve the game by adding sounds and more content in the level when I have the time :)
