Really like music, i guess i could be more exiting if there will be damage from collision with walls (or losing collected minerals). Nice work!

Hey love the PS1 game feel here, would almost have bought it if you told me this was a lost title I never played in the past. The music is fun, the theme is great, and the camera transition and motions all feel extremely satisfying. Definitely a concept for a fun cozy game I would see myself playing, the idea is golden and one of the most creative ways to use the theme and keep a lovely upbeat and sweet vibe going! One of my favs so far.

This game has a nice and simple gameplay loop. It looks like a lot of effort was put into the graphics, and it worked out nicely! I would have liked to see more gameplay elements to make the game more fun and original.

Whoops! I jumped right into the game without reading any instructions, and thought the spikes were obstacles to avoid 😅 I played again once I understood the directions, and it was a lot of fun! I actually have no critiques, it worked perfectly smooth and graphics were clear what everything was. Audio was great!

Nice work team!

Funny little game! The movement physics feel nice and responsive. Kinda amusing how you leaned into the game’s clickability with the thick girl character — definitely catches attention At first, I actually thought I was supposed to avoid the gold spikes on the wall, but turns out you’re meant to fly straight into them!

Really liked the graphical style and simplicity of the game flow. I did pretty good on the way down, but on the way back up, it was quite difficult to see the ore as it was obscured by the cave walls. I still was able to get 9 on the way up, but I think it would've been nice if there was some kind of indicator to help me know where i should start shifting towards as it was difficult to move by the time I could see them.

Nice work!

Big fan of the PSX graphical style. It would be cool to have a couple of stages with a minimum threshold to pass each one, and maybe some hazards.

Thick. Would be great if there were some obstacles though or something else to add some variation and challenge.

Fun game! Great graphics and cool loop. I wasn't expecting going back to grab the ores, really nice game. Loved the music and the SFX too. Great work!

Nice take on the theme. It's simple, easy to understand, quickly played, and feels very smooth.

I like the simple visuals and animations, which match well with the style of the game.

The music felt a bit off in my opinion, but other sound effects fit very well.

Good job!
