Good job, I feel ashamed. The world needs more games with digging.

gatechgrad 2013-04-29 05:45

I ate the only potato in the world... I'm so selfish. :D

aaants 2013-04-29 12:57

That's one pricey potato! Nice work :)

edocentrique 2013-04-29 13:48

I really like digging games like this! Great job, i enjoyed :)

Love the idea of mining diamonds to eat potato. Could have done with more signalling that you are low on fuel/hull.

lody 2013-04-29 13:57

*ashamed* Economy, upgrades, and mining all in such simply fun package.

theomnis 2013-04-29 14:05

Not very good at it, but definitely enjoyed it!

Fun game! Potato! :)

Pretty cool, I haven't played a game like this before. Also love the music

interesting game, but it is far from being fun to play. I die without much reason. Moving through previously dug tiles costs as much fuel as digging through a tile. I have no sense of how much my thing is damaged and hence don't know when I'm close to implode or something.

You got an interesting game idea though, and with a few improvements it can easily become a success on kongregate.

PS: sorry if I sound a bit harsh.

Fun concept. With a bit more polish, such as adding more feedback for showing when you have low fuel or damaged hull, it could have been more enjoyable.
The music was a bit repetitive.

kewry 2013-04-29 15:23

Thanks for the feedback and all messages so far! It really helps out.

@ananasblau harsh is good sometimes :D

@Nanolotl I made the music using Otomata then sticking in the pieces together quite near the submission time so it didn't come out so good, also I'm terrible at art/music making so this theme helped quite a lot :D

a minimal iDigit! very promising, i would love to see a more refined version of it.

josefnpat 2013-04-29 16:07

I was unable to read any of the text. Silly linux with web.

tonic 2013-04-29 16:10

Haha, it's very nice for a while!

lzantal 2013-04-29 16:27

Fun digging game. Could not figure out how to get more fuel but who cares I was just keep playing it over and over. Nicely done.

gilmore606 2013-04-29 18:23

Very nice minimal game, does a lot with a little. I was disappointed there were not more expensive upgrades, I was fully upgraded as soon as I figured out what was going on. Still, nice work!

pereubu 2013-04-29 18:28

liked it, it's addictive :D

bortstudios 2013-04-29 18:31

Good game, it kept me retrying to do better

michaelhaii 2013-04-29 18:31

Very nice, reminds me of Motherload. I didn't get the potato though, it told me I dug too deep even though my hull was fully upgraded. Oh well...

cr4zyt3rry 2013-04-29 19:08

really cool!

mrexcessive 2013-04-29 19:10

Agree doesn't work on Chrome. IE seemed ok.

covenant 2013-04-29 19:10

I enjoyed this one very much... a lot of fun, with some more stuff this game could be really awesome...
I died too many times for not noticing the hull damage, maybe an alert sound whenn you're down to 25% or so...
Great job!

sheep 2013-04-29 19:15

The text on all the buttons and in the game is unreadable in the web version, which makes it rather hard to figure it out.

McFunkypants 2013-04-29 22:18

Cool game! I was running in Chrome and the performance was excellent. Would love more feedback for when you're about to die. Keep up the great work.

folis 2013-04-30 14:14

A very fun game, even though it's rather easy to beat. Enjoyed it while it lasted!

(NOTE: Don't you ever make me download Chrome ever again. :p)

comrad_gremlin 2013-04-30 16:50

Turned out very fun to play :)
Kudos, man!

nilstastic 2013-04-30 18:46

Nice digging game, I liked it a lot but I was not very good at it :)

jhrrsn 2013-05-01 00:37

This game is excellent. It's so therapeutic to play, and well thought out. I left guilty when I ate the last potato and the game was over

plop 2013-05-13 09:23

The lack of warnings made it kind of unreasonably hard (hard in a not-enjoyable way) but it's a pretty good game other than that. The lack of warnings does give an element of planning ahead :P

stmatn 2013-05-20 00:03

Nice game! The audio was really cool. The game is beaten a bit too quick, but its fun anyway. Good job!

purplescape 2013-05-20 22:18

This game is cool, I enjoyed it. That potato may have been expensive but it was worth it.
