Funny little game, quite enough content for a few minutes, well mad it felt really smooth. Overall a solid entry.

Love this game! It's fun to try to figure out how the blocks work, and I liked digging through and puzzling about to unpack the fossils. Simple, but super engaging. Thanks for sharing it.

Not sure how but managed to place some tiles inside other tiles.

It's a little addictive somehow

Cute game. I think it needs some music, audio effects and maybe a bit more graphic but I like the idea and it's interesting to play.
I also like dinosaurs ;)

Liked it. The concept is very cool and it fits the theme quite well. I think the logistical challenge of moving dirt out of the way would also work on a larger scale. But I know it's a jam and all that. :D Great work!

Nice game, with some audio and randomised levels this could become a nice mobile game.

(Also noticed some performance issues, not sure if this was just on my end though)

Pretty unique take on the theme from what I've seen. Could be a concept to expand upon.

Fun puzzle game with a cool theme, good job. Interested to know where you see yourself taking this. Small note: I think there may be a bug where you may be able to move two of the big 2x1 blocks into each other.

Nice puzzle game, although I'm still a little unsure about the tile movement rules (were there some bugs?).

I could easily see this appeal to the hypercasual genre. A simple, but fun game with potential!

I finally found another archeology based game, there are unexpectedly few, considering the theme of this LD! Great job with the puzzle!
