LudumData

Expert Gem Digger by JeanDevsito

[raw]
made by JeanDevsito for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

Controls: A: Dig Left D: Dig Right S: Dig Down Space: Restart Game

Dig your way down before rocks smash you and drink water to recover stamina. You have to reach your precious gem to win. May be difficult or maybe not. I like this game, probably will improve it after the Jam.

(Rushed doing this game, made with defold engine)

At first, your game seemed pretty hard, but I figured out how to beat it. Really cool, to be honest

This is a really fun simple game. I beat it the first time I played and then it took a long time to win again and was surprisingly difficult. Also well done on getting it to embed into the ludum dare site! I've never managed to get that to work haha

Fun game. Easy to pick up, but basically impossible to beat. The music is good. Well done!

It took me a few tries but I got it! It reminds me of this arcade game I used to play!

Nice job on making a skillful challenge that depends partially on luck of the level generation and partially on building an efficient digging strategy. I did get stuck once with rocks on 3 sides and a water bottle overlapping me, yet I could restart the game quickly by refreshing the browser. If you continue the game in the future, then adding a squish sound effect and a victory sting could be nice for polish.

Interesting mechanics. Took a few attempts to figure out the way to proceed and managed to win eventually.
The collision seems a bit janky at times. I was often ended up embedded in the floor and sometimes died to nothing at all and occasionally the bottles would not be collected.
A decent entry.
