Lovely idea and execution! I had great fun while playing.

I loved the music but it seems like there is a problem with the looping (maybe there is some space at the beginning or the end of the music file).

I couldn't find out how to get the upgrades.

wow, what a nice looking gem this is. has really smooth controls and feels extremely well polished. I just wanted to keep digging.

my question is, when can I throw my money on steam to buy this?

Really neat little game, digging around feels smooth and satisfying, the number of unique mechanics and obstacles is impressive for the short span of the jam.

This is an interesting predicament I find myself in... I'm stuck under that sign... Anyways, great game. I love the art style and music for this game. Quite a creative idea as well! Great game i must say!

Impressive game, although i think it is a bit too fast, there is really no time to think about how to mine most optimally as you will die if you stop for too long. Also there is a thing with shovel shops that it is too easy to accidentally get past them because of the momentum

@batiali Thank you , we'r happy that you enjoyed it. We are hoping to start making it a full game soon. :)

@matif100 Hey, thanks for the feedback! We understand the difficulty of staying in the shop biome. We didn't have much time to balance the game difficulty and gameplay. But we will be fixing that soon :)

I love this one! The juice and the feel is great, graphics are great, really innovative.

I only realized that controls are harder than what I expected. I would like to control to drill with mouse, maybe?

Hope you can continue this one after the jam, I would love to see this one as a full game!

beautiful game.
really interesting mechanics and it's easy to pick up.
only issue is how quickly the lava comes.
it often ruined runs when at the shop.

This is very cool! I love the concept and the polish you have here! My biggest I feel like a lot of the time I'm digging down too fast because of the descending lava, and because I'm rushing I end up falling into bad spots or in awkward situations before I can even get my footing in a run. The time I have to shop is always like 5 seconds before I die, which is a little frustrating. Other than the difficulty issues, this game does super well in everything else!

Really nice action and looks great. Agree that it is a little quick to get burned...I feel like I want to spend a little more time looking around. Good job!

Wow very cool graphic, i really like it. Also i like a drilling mechanic, its so cool. Music also perfect. Good job!

Pretty nice game overall, the music fits, the visuals are good and the felling playing it is amazing, much JUICE. I find it a bit unfair sometimes your default drill velocity is too fast and I couldn't buy anything sometimes becouse i passed the store. And in some generations there was so many bombs that i 99% chance of dying. Great Job.

Nice! Was not really able to get any upgrades because of the time pressure, but the game itself is nicely executed. You can get stuck in the objects though sometimes. . happened to me when I wanted to buy an upgrade.

Simple, direct and effective, nice game!

The gameplay mechanics well-executed but the difficulty of the game is pushing players in hard situations to play. With a high score system and maybe giving players to refill their health, this game will shine among other Ludum dare games! Great work!

@eusekerci Thank you! We wanted the controls to be simple as possible without using the mouse , so this was the only way we could come up with. We will be making this a full game soon :)

@al-is-kinda-cute Hey thanks , we are aware of the speed of lava and it will be changed. :) thanks for the feedback

Lovely graphics and fun gameplay. Overall great game. At first I was expecting this would has a infitine level but I was able to get to the bottom of the level. Now I'm thinking after each time I get to the bottom maybe there could be some upgrade options or new characters, etc waiting for me outside of the well. I don't know. I love the game and I think this one has a real potential to continue working on. Please do.

Wow that is really fun ! But incredibly hard, the lava is really fast, I can never take time to collect things. Some enemies are tiny, but hit as hard as the big ones, I often die without even noticing them. As I have to rush, I never collected enough mushrooms to buy anything in the shop. It is too bad, there is a big potential for fun here ! That is totally my kind of game.
For the controls during the drill, I think it is a bit strange that you have to keep down pressed even when you are going up, I would prefer to just use directional keys to give the direction where I want to go, and the drill stops when I stop pressing it. Or maybe point the direction with my cursor ? It would give a lot more precision to the drilling.

And congrats for the amazing pixel art !

The drawings are cute and the mechanics are great! You've done a great job in such a short time! it has been perfect. :v:

Really cool game. Graphics, sound, and controls are all great. I think the tempo is a bit (or a lot) too quick though. There were "shops" or areas to pick up new equipment, but I couldn't figure out how to interact with them. Stopping for even a second to try different key-presses resulted in lava death :-(

Procedural generation lends itself to exploration, but time pressure is kinda antithetical to exploratory gameplay. My 2 cents anyway :)

Nice game! Great pixel graphics although I did not really have time to admire or plan before the lava came down. I could not really figure out how the shop worked so I just kept on digging down as fast as possible!

Just a heads-up: my anti-virus software blocked this game from running, so unfortunately I didn't get to play this entry (as I don't just add exceptions for random downloads, as I'm sure you understand).

The drilling in this was so satisfying, really made it fun to keep going down and dig through the ground. Did notice at the start though that you could dig through the ground without going in the well but you would actually be able to progress down.
The art in this was nicely done and the game felt overall really polished with the game mechanic of digging and journeying down keeping me playing. Would be nice if it stopped you for a second at the shops so that you wouldn't accidently miss them.

@ragnor Thank you , we wanted to add more features to the game but we couldn!t because of the time constraints , but we are planning to work on a full release. :)

@jrevel Thankss :^) we are aware of the difficulty and the shortness of time to buy anything from the shop , we will be balancing the game soon.

Whoa! I'm glad I caught this one in time. Very cool, and I see the comments about balancing. I'll be excited to play the balanced version!
