This game is quite entertaining and addictive, yet also difficult. I've played it time and time again to try to get that artifact, and I'll likely keep trying. The dialogue is witty. I never did understand what those bright flashes were, though...

Really cool game, I thought it pretty difficult to go to the deeper floors though.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Yes, the later levels can be difficult to reach. As a rule of thumb, look out for rings, they will help you crack the tougher stone of the lower levels. And you probably want to get at least one of each of the other upgrade items.

Small comment the "P" key doesn't register in the select name on macosx

Mining FTW! Nice pixel art, and really fun to play =)

Cool idea! Reminds me a bit of Boulder Dash.

Unfortunately the game was unplayable on my MacBook Pro running windows, I have not rated it so you can see whats up, but my computer, and the game just froze when I played it

Very cute art style and a quite addicting game.

Great game and you did well for this Ludum Dare.

Not sure if I need something else to make this work, but I got "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running." I've got Win7, 32-bit. Just FYI. Looks neat, sorry it's not working.

Oreganik 2013-12-16 22:18

Loved it!

mirroar 2013-12-16 22:19

@David Colson, @derdragon weird, I've tested the game on a Windows and a Max machine. But from what you're saying, I think I've only bundled the 64-bit executable. I'll add a 32-bit version, and that will hopefully run fine on everybody's machine!

Graphics and sfx go together really well! Like the game, it was easy to understand and the texts were funny. Got to 8000 and I'm pretty proud of that. :P

zxeno 2013-12-16 22:21

Very fun game. Really enjoyed the dialogue and gameplay. Very addicting!

kunzbe 2013-12-16 22:57

Well done my friend. It's really addictive as the others say!
My highscore is 18314, I went till the sixth layer.
The little texts to each objects really help to setup the mood. I like it a lot.

mirroar 2013-12-16 22:58

@Zephyr89 Oops... In my alphabet, there is no P! Find a better name then, because you will not use P as a letter in your name when playing my game! (Yeah, a typo, I somehow missed that letter when telling the game what input is allowed. Might fix it later, but it's pretty minor, after all. And kind of funny ;) )

I haven't rated it yet but it's one of my favorite game so far in this LD, it's very addictive and I played multiple times since yesterday.
Yet I can't find this damn fountain of youth. How deep do I have to dig to found the it ? (My best score so far is 17084)
I will beat the shit out this game and then I'll come back here to rate it !

zyxer 2013-12-17 02:31

My roommate just stormed intro my room to tell me his new high score at Dare to Dig. I think this is getting out of hand... One of the most addictive LD games I've ever played.

bender 2013-12-17 02:47

Ok, I've got my answer. Finished the game 8D http://i.imgur.com/YkYkJD3.png
And new personal best score : 48185. I was something like 10 or 12 levels deep, maybe ?
It was so much fun, great game !

mcapraro 2013-12-17 03:39

nice little game with nice graphics too!

josefnpat 2013-12-17 05:36

This is a very addictive game! I love the exploratory nature of the game.

I will admit, it takes up an awful lot of ram.

mirroar 2013-12-17 07:43

@allinlabs congrats! Currently your objective can always be found on level 10.

@ZYXer Oh wow, glad you and your roommate are having so much fun! :D

doonay21 2013-12-17 21:27

Hey there Mirroar I have added special version of my game - as you asked - with all levels unlocked :)

buddydoq 2013-12-18 01:33

One of the most pleasingly "complete" games I've played so far! I absolutely adore this game, fantastic job!

sience 2013-12-18 10:44

Can't find the Mask of Zuul. Damn! I have to play it once more and more and more :)

psychomonster 2013-12-19 00:45

cool roguelike game. Durability is a cool enemy in a field full of underground rocks. Like this very much.

codecranker 2013-12-20 02:04

this game is amazing!! I was impressed to see the list of stuff I found. My score: 6870. I will definitely try it again later.

Is the fountain of youth real or is it a lie like blood diamond ... lol

sytech 2013-12-20 12:39

Fun and addictive!

beardogames 2013-12-20 20:30

Ah, digging games can be so satisfying! I'm glad I had a chance to play this one-- it conforms nicely to the theme and it has a great atmosphere to it. Great job!

huhwhozat 2014-01-04 21:39

Very fun to play, I think you got the balance just about right! Would have liked more duck-tape tho. Haven't found the mask yet. Only thing that's missing is music and perhaps a better explanation of the powerups as you pick them up, as in the 'stuff I found' section.

rincewind_cz 2014-01-06 12:58

Nice and enjoyable, a like the graphics and overall mood of this. Good job :-)
