I'm not sure if it's my fault but framerate was really low for me. Seems interesting though!

Feels like a really beefed up Flappy bird! The concept of mining out the little blocks kinda felt a bit awkward to me though. I also encountered a bug where after winning the first game, in all subsequent games, I was unable to mine/ jump. Still, over all cool idea!

Nice Idea!Kinda resembles a lot of games, but you do you! Maybe work on it a bit to add some more variation and release it completely. 10/10

I'm a little bit confuse with the digging mechanics,
The flappy bird concept is ok :ok_hand:

I very like the minimal art design, the ship, the color :open_mouth:
Good submission for a one man team !

My one complaint was the movement was a little strange and jittery. However it still worked consistently and predictably to enjoy. I liked the idea of needing to mine as much as you can in the little time and hurry and collect what you could before needing to transition into dodging the oncoming walls. It was a good game play loop and one that you could feel yourself getting better at as time went by.

you tried mixing different concepts but the result is not very good,maybe next time focus on getting even less things working but getting them right... you have to spam clicks in a not pleasant way, moving and dodging feels weird,particles of the pickups face the way you are looking and is a bit confusing.

I think this game turned out really well! I like the way you have one button perform many functions. Clicking not only drops a bomb to create gold, but it also moves your ship. It's an interesting balance trying to create gold while also dodging the damage pipes coming at you. I liked that aspect a lot. Sure the movement isn't super fluid, but that didn't take away from the game's fun factor. Refining the player movement is something that you can do after the Jam.

All in all, great work here.
