I didn't know where to click at first - I thought the play button would link to your website or something, whoops.

Very simple gameplay but I'm liked visual style.

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

This is cute! I really liked the little animation stings you put in as the game progressed, and the characters were cute. Same thing for the general idea--it was a nice story, well-executed, with a good feeling.

Unfortunately... the gameplay. It didn't even behave as I expected, since it said something about digging up three spots? I could just click on each square in turn, so it was kind of just a "click up to x times" game. Since you're participating in a jam, you might want to consider pairing up with a dedicated designer... as-is, I felt like what I was receiving was a really nice flash comic with a great interactive portion, more than a game.

Ah, sorry for the possible confusion. I assume you thought you can dig up to three spots due the explanation at the bottom mentioning the chances of finding it in one go, but that's referring to each of the dig sizes. You can only dig up one spot at a time, and the spot of where the treasure is randomized.

This is Rik from the CORE Games team, posting on Mith's account.

The idea was simple and somewhat cute. I loved the simplistic map screen, and the music was very clear. There wasn't really any challenge, since from what I saw you basically just click until you win, but it's not bad (and certainly less buggy than other entries - unlike our own!), so well done.

Vector from Victory Garden said it pretty well; this felt like an interactive webcomic page, which isn't a bad thing at all.

It could have used some mechanics that build tension.

Aww, the vignettes are adorable :)

I like the visual style and overall feel, shame there isn't really any gameplay to speak of.

Not much gameplay other than "click, repeat until win" but it did have charming music and visuals. I am left wondering where they got the digger though, and if any of the girls are licensed to operate one...

No! Do not wonder! It'll drive you insane! Tabz also tried to find some logic as to the stuff they do, but ultimately gave up and rolled with it.

I enjoyed the joke in this game a lot, but the images passed a little too quickly for me to pay attention much.
