Quite fun!
Good job! liked it.
Congrats on your first entry :) I had hard time figuring out what to do...
A big sluggish, but nice overall.
Reminds me of motherload, good job on the code but I wish the gameplay felt a bit smoother. Bonus points for theme
Great work for a first entry and I liked the idea but it was a little too slow for me. Too much time spent digging without any real action. Also would have liked a purchasable torch as the lower sections are very dark.
Good job! Definitely has potential. Also congrats on your first Ludum Dare!
Fun game! I kind of wanted to see your source code though, I was curious how you made the game so small (most people with java use libraries of some sort), but your source link just goes through to the binary version
Source does contain the java files, I tried to optimize the game as best as possible, but since I'm a starter with making actual games in Java it could be improved a ton.
Thanks for the comments!
It's actually a cool concept for a small game - just mine for resources! My only thing is that it's just a bit too slow (but I am also impatient, so it may just be me). Congrats!
Pretty good, heavy motherlode flashblacks. Maybe the light should have been a little brighter since I had to squint to see. Nice one
I wasn't completely sure what to do, but I liked the aesthetic!
Nice that it had an ending. Movement and finding gems was way to slow and in the end the boss only seemed to be a way to force you to grind money. Needs some upgrades and if you add a boss it needs to do something more than just walk.
I was going to add some upgrades, but unfortunately ran out of time
i'm getting this errors, on linux: http://ix.io/bZS

Good first entry. I think the low frame rate might have been a little much for me though. Keep it up!
Definitely reminiscent of Motherload. I found the digging sound to be very annoying after a while, maybe lower the volume or make it softer.
Thanks for the comments, I've been trying new ways to render the images and it seems to run completely smooth, so framerate shouldn't be a problem in my next Ludum Dare entries.
I suggest making movement and digging much faster. I never saw "the boss"; perhaps that is a bug?
