So i am comparing to it. Here i think it was just too usefull to use the heavy swing constantly since its just a speed game mostly, in pokemon its more of a thinking game with limited turns. Also forcing to click the icon tool instead of just switching to small tool discouraged the swithcing in fast pace, if it was a keybind i would have maybe used other tools more.\nReally nice juice in the game, felt satisfying to break things and the loot showos animations were funny :D.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1173855,"author_name":"Martynas Dargis","author_uid":"martynas-dargis","epoch":1759949805,"text":"Go dig or go home!

I did find a possible bug, where when I was using a hammer with turbo impact and a prospick with treasure hunter it wouldn't let me swing even once during a screen with the hammer, if I had equipped the prospick when entering the screen.
