I have no idea how to win the game or lose it. You explained the controls in the game but didn't told us about what to do to win and what not to do. I just kept digging and digging just collecting diamonds and keys ( no idea how they work ). It would be good to give some info about the gameplay here at this page.
This is a great game, even though i didn't know what to do at first. Very very fun. I think you could explain the money stuff a bit better, but overall very fun game.
Hi, Judy's friend Jimb here ^_^. Holey moley that's a fun game!
I *love* the fact that the first row in each new area is completely solid - it gives me a great strategic break to make sure I clear out everything above it, using that as a path to get back to my main rope.
Though overall this game follows a pretty standard formula, the super-limited carrying space of a tiny number of discrete gems feels really good here, and makes it feel a little different.
I had a lot of difficulty with accidentally mining something that I didn't want to mine... lost a couple games that way as I turned around to do a jump, and found myself digging into the one platform that would get out of there -_-. Being able to cancel (let go of the button mid-dig) would be a lifesaver, I think.
Music is pretty great too, what was it made in?
I win! I went home with $2680 and 1 pretty gem. HoleyMoley.PNG
Suddenly I couldn't use the rope anymore and I got stuck, not understanding what happened. Other than that, the game is really cool, it has a fun loop to pick up loot and come back to sell, which reminded me a lot of MMORPGs. The music is cool and the art is simple but efficient. Nice game!
Things I liked - Awesome music and cute art, as always - Getting additonal upgrades and digging deeper - Being surprised to find the teleporters deeper down I wasn't expecting!
Suggestions: - I didn't realize rope cost 10 per segment for a while so that took me a while to figure out. - The "R to restart" tutorial came up a lot, and I got stuck a lot, but hitting R totally reset my progress, which was a total bumer.
