Once I grasped the mechanics, I thought it was a cool idea. It just seems really hard, also I couldn't seem to break the grey stone.

The grey stone is broken with the normal attack. I know this is kind of ridiculous (specially for the farmer) but I think it gives the game a certain strategic point of view on where you dig so you can later mine the stone depending on the parabolic curve of your main weapon.
Love this graphic style, took me back to the glory days of the ZX Spectrum which I assume was the look you were going for!
The wizard's walk animation was great. Overall a fun game though you're right, it is very hard.
Ah, a nostalgic trip to the good old days of gaming! One thing i miss though is a little effect to indicate you've taken damage. Really like the selection in characters to play with!
Nice! I like the character variety, it is quite difficult like you mentioned.
Very nostalgic. Good use of a limited palette in the graphics. Enjoyed it!
Nice speccy graphics :D, I really like how the game plays with different characters
Cool graphical style, but seems pretty difficult. Could you jump? I seemed to get stuck pretty easily
nice artwork!!!
There was a lag in the moving due to the key repeat, flash can be weird like that, you may want to check your render loop to get the motion a bit smoother, besides that the characters and their attacks were very nice looking.
Good stuff! As a player, I wanted to queue up multiple 'special weapons'.
I played as the miner. I dug straight down with bombs but then found it very awkward to have to throw my pickaxe upward and away from me instead of downward in order to dick the rocks.
Additionally, if I try to widen my hole while standing on the stone layer, my bomb doesn't destroy enough vertically for me to throw an axe in the widened part without it hitting the dirt above.
After a few deaths I basically ragequit.
Sorry! I didn't have time to balance the game, so it's hard and even stupid some times.
the combat/arena part is kind of entertaining, but overall it's super difficult and frustrating. it's a digging game where your main character is terrible at digging.
