Wow! Really fun game. Perfect length and perfect difficulty. I was a huge main of the main mechanic. I would maybe like to be able to move around when in the air, but I guess you didn't let that because then it would be too easy.
Really great job, super fun! With more variation I'd def play a full game like this.
I am very impressed!
I loved the look of the game as soon as I opened it. Then I fell in love with how the mole kinda popped out of the dirt. I just thought it was a nice bit of polish...
But then there was a WHOLE level surrounding that mechanic! And the level started easy and got harder progressively. I loved getting into the flow of it.
This is prime example of great level design. I would %100 play 10 more levels of this, or more.
The platforming feels good for the most part, and the way it's mixed into the jumps and level design is fun to figure out. The forgiving checkpoints make it rly nice to work through quickly. Just a good simple platformer with a digging mechanic that feels good. Good game. Music and audio work together well too.
Very impressive. Controls are great and the digging mechanic works super well!
Loved this game and the mechanic. The music is catchy too.
I love mole, I love the mechanics and that says allot of a non platform gamer :D
Things I liked: - I really like the digging vs walking/running mechanic, really nice dynamic - fun puzzles to solve using the dig moving mechanic - short and sweet and well produced
Improvements: - simply more levels; it's a good foundation for a much longer game - maybe put a speedrun scoreboard in so that plays can try to beat their best previous times - you could put in additional materials like snow or gravel that require item pick-ups to dig into them
Bugs: - I didn't run into any
Wow! Really good job on these puzzles, I found myself having several "Ah-ah" moments during my short session! The digging out to jump was my liked feature, it's so simple, just talking the most basic consept of jumping and chaning it up a bit. Like i said, really good job on this entry! :D
You've created a well polished proof-of-concept here! The mole (and his animation) were adorable and the dig/jump out of the dirt mechanic was fun to use while solving the puzzles. The controls felt a little twitchy for my tastes, but were still quite functional. Overall, I had fun. Well done!
Absolutely loved the movement in this game! So smooth and clear, greatly accompanied by the sound and animations! Level design is also so clear and nice!
I wouldn't even say this is a jam game! So good!
Solid platformer with really interesting mechanics! Really cute sprite for the mole as well. Music is a bop. Checkpoints are also really forgiving. Overall really solid!
This was fun, and the moles big hands were a great addition. I liked the funky music and the diggy noises. Great job!
Amazing work!!! This game is exactly the right scope for a Compo game. The mechanic takes about 3 seconds to understand and it's super fun immediately. The art and level design look well polished the controls are intuitive and rewarding. All around great game. If the developer decides to make more levels, I hope I get to play them.
Love it!! Super cool concept with the whole digging/jumping mechanic, feels really unique!! Also love the graphics, the mole is really cute hehe. Nice job!! :)
Very well done! The music and SFX matched the mood of the game very well, and the game had great mechanics!
What a fun experience! I wish there were more to it. Frankly the game is great, it only lacks a bit more polish, other than that this is top material, adding more content in the near future should really be something to consider!
This is a fun mechanic! Very good development of the idea through the level. I like how the different shades of background color sometimes gave me a hint early on of where to go. Though the graphics are super simple, they communicate effectively, which is great for a game jam!
Great game! The main idea is very good. Digging through the dirt made for interesting platforming, and I do believe you have strong foundations for a more fully fleshed-out game here. The graphics were good and very clear, as pointed out by others. I would have loved the game to go on a little longer but I'll take what I have ^^
The only thing that "bugged" me a bit was moving with keys, meaning only 8 directions were available. But I'm really nitpicking here, the game overall is very good already. Congrats!
This is really well made. Fancy gameplay which feels smooth. It is great that the game saves your last step(s) so it is never frustrating when falling sometimes. Please make more levels!
The core mechanic is SUPER creative and you made especially good use of it :D The final challenge was a little frustrating since I'd keep falling down, but I can ignore that since otherwise it was a neat little experience.
Great mechanic! I love the mole art too. Fantastic job!
