Haha very funny :) I need the Diamonds for a Shool :) like it!
Keyboard input dosen't seem to work
Good job for, especially a first ludum dare :D It's great to add a timelapse :)
@Torri: I once had this issue too when starting in WebPlayer. Restarting helped in my case...
This game played much differently than I expected. It's actually a pretty tricky puzzle! I had to restart a lot when I got stuck because of mis-planning or because of digging a square that I didn't mean to dig, but I kept trying again until I got it. Very interesting idea.
Simple game, somewhat fun to play around with, just wish the control system was a little more precise, but nice job!
Now that keyboard works, It is pretty cool
I really wanted to like this game, what with it's neat humor and good application of the theme, not to mention it's smooth controls, but the lack of music, repetitive and unoriginal gameplay, brokenness of the level design (seriously, I got stuck at least 7 times) hold this game from being a great game.
That was actually a much more clever and puzzly mechanic than I had expected. I had a bit trouble with the controls, especially jumping around.
Like the puzzle aspect, but digging is way too slow. I'd suggest completely removing the delay, it would help game play a lot.
Nice tiny game. I do like that you can't dig mindless and always have a thought about coming back to the surface. And a very smooth credits scroller :D
Good job!
Great entry for a first go at Ludum Dare. Clean, good quality graphics. Requires so thorough forward thinking when playing too. Well done!!
Cool game, nice particles. A bit short though.
The movements aren't perfect but the gameplay is here and it's great ! nice entry !
The gameplay concept is deceptively simple and the puzzle mechanics are very clever.
The graphics and sfx are simple and functional, but don't stand out much.
The controls work most of the time, although I did find myself occasionally mining a block I didn't want mined.
The gameplay is key here, it's interesting and uses the theme well.
The difficulty in this really caught me off guard! Nice job!
Pretty fun. I thought the sound effects were great. It would have been nice to know from the beginning that I have to get back out of the hole I dug, but that's a minor complaint.
Getting diamonds is easy but digging in a way that you can return to surface is hard! Loved the quotes from princess. :)
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare. You completed a finished game! I actually messed up a few times in digging my tunnels so it was cool that you had to think a little bit about how to excavate while leaving room for your vertical jump to get back out.
The constraints on the miner made this much more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I actually dug down and collected all the diamonds right away, and only then realized the implications of my jump height.
The princess was obvious, but in a funny way. Well done and welcome to the party.
