What a great game! Dig Dug with a pick axe! Just a couple of suggestions:\n1. Add the left mouse button for the pick axe as well.\n2. There is a small bug, after you clear a tile the game still thinks the tile is there\n3. Is there a way to go up because the jump was not enough, unless we are supposed to dig in a stair step manner.\n\nAnyway, good on you, your game is great, with a little work it could be something special. Did you do the little miner guy or did you find him somewhere else?","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1165363,"author_name":"Artificer","author_uid":"artificer","epoch":1759834786,"text":"I enjoyed this!

I really liked the chill vibe in the game. Digging the ground with a pickaxe is very soothing. The tile destruction mechanic is cool.
