I like the vertical screen layout for a digging game! However it does not fit exactly on my screen so I can't see the elvel and the stats (like energy) simultaneously. Also having to hold down a direction and dig feels a bit weird.
Hey, nice concept! But somewhat lack of game mechanics, something like a unbreackable tiles, maybe roaming enemies etc. Great result for jam, tho.
impressive for only a one person job. With some little affects and a smoother gameplay it could be a great mobile game
I like the peaceful atmosphere and the simplicity. Could be a nice starting point to add some puzzle elements.
really cute little game! the sounds and graphics work well together. super cute aaaaaa, and also i love the controls! they're really interesting. good job :D
Cute game! The controls could use some improvements, it's very hard to move sideways, maybe you could move into the whole automatically when digging sideways? Plays pretty smoothly otherwise.
Controls are a bit clunky and it took me a couple of run to understand that the energy was some kind of a timer. The level generation is a good idea but maybe it could be improoved if you exclude the possibility to put energy over lava.
Other than that it's a solid entry
Very nice! I struggled a bit with accidentally digging down when I wanted to dig left or right, my suggestion would be to require the player to hold down (S) while pressing Space to dig down, or to remove the Space bar and dig automatically with the ASD keys.
The sound effects really make this game! I loved that you play as a cute watermelon. This is really impressive as a solo project!
Thank you all for the feedback, this was a really rushed project, maybe I'll polish it for a mobile game release or something. Anyways, thanks again. Cheers!
Hey good job! I liked the game and everything with it quite a bit. One note, I wasn't quite sure what my character was? Not exactly a bad thing though haha Was it a watermelon? That's what it looked like so if it was then good job with that haha I mentioned this on another game that was somewhat similar to this, but one thing that would add a lot would be some sort of upgrade system. Maybe you collect the coins or whatever and spend them after each game over. You could get a better pickaxe, more time, things like that. Either way really nice job!
@link270 yes it was a watermelon haha. thanks for the feedback, I agree that some addition to the gameplay would be great.
Controls were a bit confusing at the start of the game, but I get used to it. Nice soothing music. Simple gameplay with clear goal and good level design.
