Tunnel Taupe is a survival puzzle game in which you dig through terrain to find minerals to reach a highscore.



try and find your way through this fragile, lava spewing, spider filled cave without getting crushed! but don't venture too deep or you may encounter something even scarier ...
(my highscore is 592 btw)

It could use some more explanation of game-mechanics but the game is small enough to figure them out as you go.
Great job!

Good entry, on of the best for me at this LD. Pretty relaxing game!

---
* Art and animations. The mole is really qute and the color pallete of the game fits its cave environment.
* Music. Pretty enjoyable and nice.
* The procedurally generated world provides a lot of replayability and blends well with the game. Every game is a new unknown world that you have to tread with caution.
* Enemies. I only got to see 3 (don't know if there are more) and they definetely fulfil their purpose of putting pressure on you.
* Nice mechanic that fits the theme! I really like the fact that you have to dig cautiously while being chased by the enemies. Minerals are placed in places that a greedy digger will cause the ceiling to collapse.
The bad
---
* It would be nice if you could undo your last action when the ceiling is ready to collapse. Not sure if this intentional, or something that you would consider adding given more time.
* Game feels a bit too hard once you progress a bit further, with no apparent way to overcome the massive hordes of enemies. Given the limitations of the game jam though, I feel the enemies are already balanced enough.
Summary

Really cool game, with nice art and music to capture your interest and constantly evolving levels to keep you interest and increase replayability. I really enjoyed playing this game and I can see myself coming back for more to see what secrets these caves hold :)
Great job on the game and keep up the good work.
My highscore was 437.
Nice work!
