Sadly, the game immediately crashes after I press anything :(

Nice graphics! I loved how everything gets more and more colorful as you go down 😄. I couldn't really read or react to the enemies pattern, but I felt they became stronger (also the game crashes when I try WASD but the arrows are fine). Good job!

The whole presentation is fantastic as always! incredible stuff, love it. this is deceivingly difficult! I think either the enemy bullets are too slow or they attack too fast, because I found it basically impossible to kill them without getting hit if they start shooting. if i didn't kill something right when i got to it, i would have to skip it. I basically resorted to just constantly digging down and hoping i land on enemies.

Other than that, this is wonderful. all it needs is some juicy sfx!

beautiful game! love the mechanics and how you slowly unlock the colors. game crashes when I press anything other than the arrow keys or enter to start the game. So its playable at least. Looking forward to seeing the expanded version!

Amazing visuals. This is the most polished (other than audio) digging game I have played. I would really like to see this taken further.

Brilliant visuals, and the mechanics are soundly designed and intuitive! I really enjoyed the shape mechanics as well, but the game did occasionally shut down with no apparent reason or warning (must be a stray key press as indicated by @seanarooni). I think my only feedback for the expanded version might be to tame the size of the enemy projectiles. They can be insanely large early on which felt odd. Maybe also a mechanic that rewards a slower paced play as well, some kind of bonus for nailing more enemies as you go rather than just hurtling downward?

I very much dug it!

Visualy beautiful, the controls feels great and the juice is there (even without sound)

Graphics and moods are incredible. Miss a beautiful chiptune music ! Difficulty is too easy, is just have to rush down if i loose an heart to recover life. I will watch for the full game !

Love the visuals and music! Fun game overall :)

Well made game. I got my divination on the first try, basically focusing on going fast downwards and only picking up the enemies that were easy and close by. So it felt like I cheesed it a bit, and perhaps it would have benifitted if there was a counter balance like making the game substantially tricker further down. It also felt like transporting oneself laterally was quite challenging. Nice game though and very coherent style.

Awesome games with awesome visuals, weird bug I was having though.. the Game crashed if I used A S D W instead of the Arrow keys, arrow keys worked fine so the game was fun, but yeah weird bug. Again tho, amazing entry!

Really cool graphics, I like that style a lot. It did crash for me a couple of times, but it was a nice game, good job :)

Very beautiful game and every movement is pleasantly felt! Especially jumping in a tight spaces)

Thanks for your feedback everyone!! So sorry about the crashes, that's what I get for using an unstable version of my engine... :')

I just updated the build with a fix for the crashes, they shouldn't happen anymore. (🤞) I also took the liberty to add controls for toggling fullscreen and the shader. Disabling the shader may improve performances if you are running the game on a weaker machine.

Much love! ❤️

Adore the style, well done! Seriously craving for that punchy sound to match the visuals.

really cool graphics! I like how you get more color the more thingies you've collected the more colorful the screen gets. I would have liked some more mechanics, but overall the game is super stylish and well put-together.

I really like the look of it and the controls feel great. I had to read your explanation to fully understand how it's meant to be played. A bit more in-game explanation would help tie things together, but otherwise I did enjoy myself.

So nice to see you use your own engine, it's really coming along well. Liked how the colours come out the further you progress and it adds a nice factor to keep you playing and going down. The art was great as always and worked so well with the theme. Really polished entry.

Very interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/rQyFGYR3HW4
