Nice simple game! The digging mechanics felt awkward at first but got used to it pretty quickly. However, it just becomes a game of hitting the right button out of three, which tends to become dull after a bit of time. Nice touch to have procedural levels (are they procedural? I think they are). Sometimes after switching to the next level the player somehow gets left behind and I can't do anything after that - lava is advancing, the controls don't work & the player doesn't die.
Anyways, good job!
