Really cute concept!
Maybe allow holding the mouse button instead of clicking

Fun game but constantly clicking the mouse to dig gets a bit tiring, especially when you start searching for optional stuff. Maybe make it so if you hold down the mouse it automatically starts digging after the current digging action gets finished

Thank you, my arm is numb now...
Interesting take, the text to speech ruined it for me.

Honestly, I never even thought about making the drip a 'hold mouse button' mechanic. Glad I didn’t go with that click delay I originally planned, though!

Good concept, in larger scales and systems this mini game would be even cooler.

Love it! The ability to level up the brush and finding the secrets really kept me going.

Controls could need some polishing, but otherwise this could be interesting game!
