Couldn't extract the Win-32 build zip. Only 20kb? Seems dubious.

Hm...weird, when I checked the file wasn't up at all anymore. Should be up now and should be a 3.06mb download for the Win-32 build.

This is a cute little game, good job!

Heads up: If the chrome extension you refer to is LĂ–VELINESS, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with the current version of Love (0.9.1). It's unfortunate, I used to use it all the time :(

Hey, neat game :]! The gameplay is solid, sans the slight jittery collision of the jumping. The level was pretty well designed, providing some basic challenges!

I think one easy thing you could add to make it better would be a simple instruction so that those of us (read: me) who don't read game descriptions before trying the game know to press E to go through the first door ;D

I think coloring the mine-able rocks a little differently would also make your game more interesting aesthetically (for example, having gray rocks). Though I understand if you wanted it to look similar to the surrounding dirt.

Overall, pretty cool for just 48 hours! I think you could have done a lot of awesome things with the game, given more time to work :]!

Lol good pun.

Fun and pretty funny, Could do with a bunch more levels though.

Can't play the osx version. It looks interesting, so if you could fix it i will try it.

If this is underground already, where this guy falling to ;) Nice game though.

Funny story :) The game feels finished and well-planned. Nice work!

What is the grey you fall to? It doesn't look very realistic. I like how your character looks.

Hughes was pretty fun. The collisions are a little funky, but it doesn't really affect gameplay that much. Thanks for pointing me to that chrome extension!

pretty fun, but the collisions seemed a little odd sometimes

capitalism thrives once more on the back of hard working americans.

overall, I liked it. I thought it was a nice touch blocking the passage when picking up the pickaxe to demonstrate it's use, although I would consider changing the timing on it as for a second I thought I got put in another room.

The collisions were very quirky. Besides that, I liked everything else! Nice job!

The writing was funny and the base game was good overall. It could have used more length, but you probably already know that.

Short but funny.

Nice little game. The jumping physics felt a bit slow and unnatural. Some of the jumps in the second level felt a bit unfair. But I played it through and had fun with it. Nice work.

THAT MEMORIAL IN THE CREDITS IS NOT OKAY -- ITS NOT OKAY -- YOU WILL GO TO THE CORNER NOW.

Pretty sure Maes Hughes didn't work for a tablet company. Then again maybe he should've...

A short but humorous entry, and out of the platformers I've played this LD this was one of the ones that felt the easiest to control, with very minor collision problems. Pretty good for your first attempt at the genre!

The levels are fun and reasonably difficult, the gameplay is generally entertaining, but the physics are a little buggy. Otherwise, nice little game, especially for your first platformer. Well done! :)
