I've edited this comment. FYI this game is has a big magenta triangle on top of it in Firefox, but it works fine in Chrome.

Interesting game, I like the way the lantern works. At first I thought I was screwed by the RNG but no I'm just an idiot (and it looks to be deterministic). I got the deepstone! Very fun!

The music slaps.

Oh my gosh, this is SUCH a great game! Loved every mechanic, and the little "hmm?" from the dwarves was an awesome touch. Super solid work, you guys!

This is DAMN great! What can I say. Epic aesthetics, really crispy graphics and really great mechanics overall. This is SO fun to play, and is just a great core for a larger, even better game.

This is a really great job overall! Congrats!

Always enjoy a new roguelike experience. Had a wonderful time. Music was especially good. Caught myself bopping and swaying.

Got a win on my first go! Though only one dwarf made it. 100% damage boost is always a winning strategy!

This was a fun little game. I enjoyed the simple visuals and music. This has a kind of problem solving I feel like could be appealing to really sit down and play with for a longer game.

Wow this is extremely well done and polished. I don't know what else to say, I'm not used to playing such a polished LD game lol.

You guys killed it. The graphics, sound effects, music, and gameplay are all so elegant and fit perfectly together. This could be the foundation of a very nice puzzle game, however I think you might have to make some big changes to the gameplay to be able to scale the difficulty. There's only so much you can fit on the screen at once, and if you can't see whats below then you're just guessing.

Really fun game simple and fun would love to see more levels

The whole game feel, including the look, sounds, and polish, felt spectacular. Great job to the whole team!

Whoa, that was great! Nice and simple to pick up and play - I really enjoyed the game mechanic. Felt very polished. The dwarves looked great - nice one getting the generation working. The music was awesome - the mix of the mining sounds and the 8-bit synths was quite charming!

really enjoyed the game the features are so nice and the control innovant love the reference and the sound. The only down side is the length that feel a bit short and the gems that are not really implemented

What a fun game, I hope you continue it.

What a rocking tune, put that on soundcloud, I need to listen to it some more haha. Other than that, beautiful graphics, and well great gameplay. Fantastic job.

Congratulations I loved your game, it is very fun, it has many possible variations, I hope to see this game evolving and become much bigger, with stories and new animations I would be happy to buy, a big hug, and I await your ratings regarding my game .

Simple and perfect! Just using the heads to represent the characters was a great choice. I missed what the gems do for you, but it's fun just to get as many as you can anyway. The sounds are great.

Hey all, composer and sound sound designer for this jam here.

I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to say thank you all for your wonderful comments and feedback! I worked with an amazing and talented team and it was super fun!

As the music has received such praise, I went ahead and made a soundtrack version! You can listen to it here:
