Honestly, I think it has good potential. I don't know if it is on purpose but it is impressive how punishing the denial sound can be after so many times! And it fits the game so well! :D

Thanks for the feedback. I intended to give a default denial impact with that sound. Glad you found it to be fitting!
Nice! I found some lost treasures (a cookie, a penny, and an earring). I was playing on a web browser and click and dragging the mouse wasn't great, but I bet this would play great on mobile with touch controls. The graphics were nice,I like this style. Nice polished entry, all it needs is a little jaunty bgm to be a complete game. Well done.
PS: Oh, I was also surprised that hitting spacebar reset my map. I think I was expecting it to dig or something, but instead it made my target go right out from under me.
@makenai Ops, that spacebar feature was a Debug device that slipped through, lol, when I was testing the "Generate new tresure" funcion. Thanks for the feedback.
It's a cute and likeable game despite the simplicity of the gameplay. Felt very smooth and it was clear what to do. To make a more interesting game out of it I feel like it would need another layer of gameplay on top, maybe combining the found items somehow, or having obstacles to navigate. In terms of polish the game could use some music, and the tiles could blend more seamlessly with each other.
Nice art, it was fun. Good job.
It's nice to fly around and I do like the Hot / Cold meter. Once you're 'there' it's a bit annoying to have to try like 4-5 squares before you find the correct one. Gameplay probably needs some sort of twist to make it more exciting / interesting.
