The "web" link seems to be taking me to the wrong place. Some game called "Crustation Cannon"...?
Looks like a lovely game, let me know when the links fixed, I'd love to try it =)

That was surprisingly fun. The only problem is the lack of a challenge, as you can just spam dynamite to dig a deep hole, fall down to a lower ledge, then spam dynamite again. Perhaps limiting the rate you can throw dynamite at would make people try to use more strategy when planning their route.
Hi Kory, no idea why you're getting the wrong game, link seems fine to me. But here it is again http://hellfang.co.uk/archaeologist/
Loved it, spammy dynamite ruined it a bit tho. Fall damage would fix that tho
Nice! gameplay was a bit repetitive, but nicely done!
Feedback given for your actions in the game would help - what happens when we collect bones? meet dinosaurs? something?
I love it! Tons of fun! Blowing stuff up and digging never gets old.
Next time: Audio!
Wonderful concept, and it looks great! I of course echo the criticisms of the other commenters (dynamite spam, audio), but definitely finish this.
Echo audio comments. It's a little too easy as well. However I found it to be very fun and the destructible levels were cool. The game could benefit from pickups to change your weaponry and different dinosaurs to avoid but it is a really solid game. Nice one!
A simple, clever and fun game, I enjoyed it. I think one thing that could add a lot to this game is a little variety to the enemies, like perhaps one that moves vertically or takes more hits to kill.
All-in-all an excellent Ludum Dare Entry, I had fun.
Good game! Would have been better if there was more variety and/or levels.
I got down to 330.2 meters before I blew myself up. Surprisingly fun. Add some sound, weapons, more dinosaurs, smooth out the sometimes glitchy collision, and this could be really fun. Nice work.
How funny. If using IE you get the crustacian cannon game. The same link is going to your game with FF. That is very uncool dumbfuckery.
The game itself is a neat little thing. The mechanic is nice but the game is not really challenging. Dying usually happens due to misplaces dynamite. A bit more variety would help this a long way.
Ah, you are right Endurion. The game should work fine in IE now, that's what you get when you upload the game at stupid o'clock and copy the page source from a different game.
The way real archaeology should be done. Simple concept but surprisingly fun, got 109 bones and 410.6 meters down before owning myself.
What's really pretty fun is moving your cursor to a point on the screen, and then mashing left-click there, seeing how far down you can get. I've gotten 48.6 meters.
Nice! Excellent graphics and it's easy to pick up and play. I think the game is pretty easy, but at the same time, that encourages me to be impatient, and then I make mistakes. Dynamite drops unnaturally (arcs at first but then falls straight down), probably because dx is an integer.
