Cute game ! I'm really bad at it, yet it was still fun to play it! The tutorial at the beginning was too big in my opinion, it was too wordy and heavy to read Other than that, it was nice, good job !

My mole is rich now. His name is Emol Musk.

I liked it a lot. Everything is clear and it is interesting to play

Cute entry! :) I can't quite tell if the game is a tad to hard or If I'm just plain bad at puzzle games. :p But if feels like you could approve on the generation of the tiles / worm placement, to ensure that the player gets a set amount of always reachable worms in the first few turns.

Can't believe how much time I've been played this. It's super fun, and the art and music is so cute!

Of all the games I've watched, this is the best I've ever played. Although it is simple, but everything is worked out to the smallest detail. I like both the music and the graphics. The coolest thing is the original control. I've never seen anything like it.

Great idea and very fun.

Woah I got kinda addicted to this, it was fantastic! Planning out the perfect routes, getting some really crafty combos of worms and treasure all in one move, mwah :thumbsup: Music was cute, art was great, and the UI and instructions were very intuitive!

Good job and kudos to you all from one Mole-themed game to another :wink:

Very nice feel to this game, all the components fit well together. Took me a while to figure I could scroll the screen by moving my mouse to the bottom. A nice mechanic and I like how the UI looks and updates when the player picks up items.

Really cute puzzle game :D loved the mole facts lol

tomlbarden 2021-04-27 14:56

@joedev sent me this because he got so addicted. I've gotta say, I can see why! One bit of feedback: the controls aren't very laptop-friendly. I wasn't able to play using a track pad, since I can't click and hold to drag a piece AND right click to rotate. Otherwise, this is brilliant.

Love this puzzle approach to pathing! Though I wish there was a bit more of worm density, often big swaths of the map generated don't have enough worms that I can feel they're worth pursuing in a way that feels limiting for the game. I'd almost never get blocked by my own tunnel for example, and I feel like that was supposed to be a larger part of the gameplay, but worms are such a necessity turning back to get something seldom felt like a real option. The music was really cute too, and this is now one of my favorite mole-based games in the jam. Keep up the great work!

Finish and release this game...

... I have spoken. Seriously legit one of my favorite entries here. It is so addicting and you need only look at the other feedback here to see the incredible potential. ^^

aniur 2021-04-27 20:42

Thanks for your feedback! We are so glad that you enjoy the game <3

Глубже и глубже - это тема для истинных кротов. Такие кроты должны копать только вниз, все глубже и глубже... И собирать червей и ракушки! Игра для медитации - собираешь тетрис, копаешь ямы, думаешь о смысле жизни. Спасибо ^_^

Interesting and fun concept! Nice graphics and sound effects.

Some remarks: 1. It was not really clear that screen can be scrolled, noticed this only on second try. Expectation: tutorial contains information about screen scrolling or game contains indication of scrolling level. 2. Screen scrolls up when cursor is on the top half of screen and down when cursor touches bottom of the screen. 4K display here. Expectation: screen scrolls up and down when cursor is inside same sized regions. 3. Game lacks of restart button. Expectation: there is a button to restart game without refreshing web page.

Good entry!

Good game. There is a dig dug feel to it with some tetris and snake as well (don't overtake your own path). I had some problems with scrolling but I am pretty certain I missed a vital instruction about how to scroll back up? Still managed to collect some worms and then kept scrolling down to see the rest of the level. Lots of surprises laid out below!

chrispy977 2021-05-01 04:51

I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't have very much fun. The randomness of the move sets and how awkward they are too string makes this really too difficult to get into. I think you've made the entry curve a little too steep. I would suggest starting off a bit easier and then ramp up into harder levels with more randomness etc.

mighty-mufflon-games 2021-05-01 08:01

This game is so adorable. Fancy game mechanics and well implemented. The graphics and especially the music are lovely. One of my favorites of this jam so far. :)

gno-evenimente 2021-05-01 09:11

Very neat game, really enjoyed the puzzle aspect of it. The presentation is great too, fun audio and visuals. Congeatulations!

2021-05-04 15:33

really, really love it! Could play this for hours. Great job!

dylan-fries 2021-05-05 21:00

Surprised myself how much I liked this. Great mix of tetris /snake. One suggestion is to make the idea that you can scroll down deeper more obvious as I didn't realize that at first. Maybe start with a "floor" that is visible for the first level so the player can see it get deeper. Cool idea and very creative though!

haiyoooo 2021-05-07 05:05

comepleted it :) Very innovative, combining tetriz puzzle mechanic with the typical dig-for-treasure game for a fresh spin! Great job! In my playthrough it was really easy, I always had >8 moves. I had worms everywhere, so i just went down.

mattwoelk 2021-05-09 14:13

Clever game! Very nice icons (especially the little twinkle animations).
