Ah ah!
Nice audio! Love the 80s/90s theme. And your audio SFX and comments are a nice touch!

Love the sound effects :laughing: Nice game except that it may be a bit too easy. Wish there's a higher difficulty
@dhim Thanks! I really tried to make the game entertaining. Your game was awesome!!!
@andykswong Thanks! Yeah, the game is pretty easy. I decided to focus on providing entertaining feedback to the player when things like starting, eating, and taking damage occurred. Your game was fun!
One million points for the audio!
@nigeynige Thanks! And thanks for playing my game
Your sound design / voice acting really is top notch :laughing:
After completing the Standard mode, I tried the Survival mode and started hearing sound effects I had not heard during my first playthrough. I started running into literally everything, even all the bad stuff, just so that I could hear all the amazing sounds this game has to offer.
I can't think of many games that reward you for losing HP... so congrats on making an unexpected mechanic that is surprisingly fun!
@secret-magic-404 Thank you!!!! I'm so glad that my audio is enjoyable :raised_hands:
It's a pretty basic game but I love the audio!
The mole with the sunglasses and with that voice are hilarious to me lol.
Even though it's very simple, I want to give a couple suggestions: - Having the cockroach be both food and damage based on the color is a bit confusing (I only found the gray ones are food by accident, as I was trying to avoid all of them). I think you should stick to worms for food and cockroach for obstacle. - The survival mode increasing and decreasing speed made it very easy. I think the speed should only increase, so it becomes more challenging as you progress.
Keep it up!
@asdehielo Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the sunglasses and voice :sunglasses:
This mole is one cool dude with some serious 90s Sonic the Hedgehog swagger. He did echo my sentiments when I completed standard mode, though. This game is really, really easy. I played survival mode for 2 full loops of the music, scored almost 35000 points, and never got even remotely close to dying. So that's my biggest suggestion: have the difficulty escalate over time at least until it gets too hard for a new player to progress. I love the attitude and surrealism of this game, and I really enjoyed it. Good job.
@quinn-patrick Thanks!!!
coool and fun game, liked the audio and gameplay
Nice game, this brought a smile to my face :). No issues when loading sound/music.
I liked the sound effects and that there's different stages. I specially liked that you offered a standard mode, which is curated and great for first time, and then survival for playing as long as you want. In the second stage, the 'cockroaches?' it was not clear that the red ones are bad and the gray (dead ones?) are good. However, this is learnt very fast after the first bites.
On the survival mode, I'd love some incremental challenge, like more speed the further you go, etc. Otherwise, it seems you can go forever without issue, and even more, when you go back to a stone level, the game feels like going too slow again.
Well done!
Simple but well made. Love the voice over. Good job! :)
Neat little game! Top notch VA!!!
@hamblock Thanks!!
@albertnez
Smiles all around! Mission accomplished! I'm glad that things loaded smoothly for you.
The 'cockroaches' are actually silverfish and firebrats. If a firebrat kills you, then you'll see a report that shows the name. The silverfish wouldn't be known through typical gameplay.
Thanks for your input!
@mighty-mufflon-games Thank you!! I'm all about simple pleasures :smile:
@yellowsalamander Thanks! I had a fun time with the VA :smile:
We played your game in multiplayer two days ago during our stream. Here is a link to the exact place in the video archive if you wish to see it again: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=aC3sZsRjx5g&t=3701s
Good game, I'm not sure if I understood correctly the survival mode, is it an infinite mode without end where you try do go the deepest you can?
Nice mole though, very cool sunglasses ^^
@togis Thank you!! It was fun to be part of your Twitch, even though my computer kept crashing :dizzy_face:
I like this audio! I got interesting experience, thanks!
@dmitriy3342 Great! I'm happy to hear that you liked it :smile:
The audio was awesome. Thanks for submitting!
Cool concept! I really like the audio and the mole's sunglasses! Nice work overall!
Nicely done! I would have liked some additional difficulty and some graphics in the UI to make it more readable, but I enjoyed the goofy graphics and sounds.
@hacktier Thank you and you're welcome! :smile:
@sombrero-guy Thanks! :smile:
@mhanapole Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :smile:
