Howdy Folks! When we heard the theme for this we had a lot of ideas, but we settled upon a metal detecting game. In a lot of ways this is an homage to my Dad, with whom I have many memories with metal detecting when I was a kid. It was always cool to see what we'd dig up next, even if he was just using me for free digging labor :D.

This was built by 2 people from scratch during the game jam time frame. It was really great to see what we could do in the short time frame. I know that there is a pretty annoying bug where the mouse doesn't lock into the area without you clicking after a UI, unfortunately we didn't have time to fix that before publishing, but it'll be the first thing we fix after the judging time.

Thanks for checking us out!
