Great game! Impressive that you managed yo include a store and upgrades! Very hard game, I played for a long time and I was not even in 50%. What I found a bit frustrating is that sometimes I just had to make a "faith jump" because of the path I made was impossible to go back. But I guess that's just me being bad at choosing how to make the path!
Overall, great entry with a lot of content. Congrats!

So nice! Great game, but I guess height of player should be like another blocks.

Nice game! I particularly like the use of lighting, and the animations as you fall/the grenades blow up! Really good effort

Nice game, though it's a bit annoying that the player is 2 blocks tall. Should also be more zoomed in. A highlight/border around the block currently being mined would also be handy as it's difficult to see that sometimes. Good job though!

@pixelipy I've played the game 2 and beaten it, and there isn't really a faith jump requirement. You can put yourself in a situation where you need to faith jump, but you can avoid that with some planning quite easily. The issue is most people (myself included) don't have to patience haha, it's just a GRIND of a game to reach the bottom, but it's easy once you work out the strat

Fun and interesting way to progress the game! Get money, buy flares and try not to die falling! I got a lot of flash games vibes while playing. It looks like one of those games that I would find on Armor Games or Kongregate and spend the whole afternoon playing. One thing that I would like is more upgrade variety, like a upgrade that let's you jump higher or upgrade how many blocks you could break in one go.
