I had a ton of fun with this one! I'm used to playing Touhou where you spend the whole time dodging, so smashing through the crystals was very cathartic. I would have liked to be able to hold click to autofire but otherwise the controls felt great. Really solid job!

I really wish there was an auto fire on this. Also I was a bit confused... I couldn't figure out how to pitch down and dig deep. Eventually I just crashed at the end of the level. I really liked the boons after death. Really made replays more enjoyable.

Kind of disappointed that more people haven't played this game! I got sucked into this one, it's just so fun. Good job!

The upgrades after each run are a big incentive to try it again and frankly they saved it for me. Without certain upgrades the game did't seem to make much sense or fun to me. But by now I think I'm getting the hang of it and it turns out to be pretty cool and motivating! Maybe in the long run you'd want to get rid of that hurdle of what-does-this-game-want-from-me at the beginning.

Cool game, i like the graphics, which go along nicely with the smooth and chill music. Especially the explosion effect looks neat. The gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but I think I figured out what to do after a while. Adding some sort of explanation might be worthwhile, some might be mislead and frustrated by dying so quickly, as it is an integral part of your game. The power-ups were a fun addition, adding replay value to the game. Overall a solid and intersting game 🛩️💥

I was a little confused at first but the game was really fun to play so it didn't even really matter that much for me. Graphics were great and I loved the themes and thought they worked really well together.

One of the best entries I played so far! Gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but I got hang of it after 2 or 3 runs. Upgrade system added a lot to the game, glad you had time to add it. Graphics and audio are also really good. Overall really polished game with very interesting concept, great job!

Nice game! I see how much work was done here and it is one of the most polished games I played this jam. The mechanics and incentives were particularly great aspects of the game.

What I found very confusing was the ultimate goal which is still illuding me after about 20 min of game-play; it seems that when I dive to the bottom I die and when I reach the end of the level I also die. Is there a way to win? Also, I found that the more replays I make the more lag I get until it gets so hard to play at all, you might want to check that (HTML5 build).

Other than that it is really one of the best. Great work!

I like the progression when you die, but I really didn't get what the two different modes were. It seems like the best thing to do is crash early so you can get gems underground but I don't know why I want gems or points.

Generally it was fun and kept me playing!
