funny game good concept

This is really well made but I definitely think it was a little too difficult. The bouncing from the rocks is basically a death sentence.

Awesome!

It's very fun to play. Upgrades have a really big impact. I did few games before really understanding that the slow down mechanic (with S key) is game changer.

The only complaint I could have is that the hitbox is a bit too big :)

Good job!

Decent game, very fun. Once you get the upgrades it becomes quite easy.

My highscore was 4378 :)

Cool game. I like the bouncing mecanic on the rock that make you think twice before going in a tiny tunnel. The controls are easy and responsive. Nice work :clap:

Really cool game even if i'm really bad at it ^^' I wonder how people do 4378 my best is 288... I even tried to reverse my keyboard to make it easier but no it was worse... I had a lot of fun, good job ! ;)

Thanks for the Web version!

I think I kinda liked it:

Would be even better if it would get more difficult the deeper you go and also it's pretty laggy (still very playable though) and it gets laggier the deeper you go

Excellent and really fun ! The game was really well balanced and the incentive to grab gold to buy upgrades is perfectly tuned and addictive. I have reached 1003cm. Once fully upgraded there is less incentive, I guess this is something to work on if you want to push the game further. Perhaps a scroll up revealing your entire digging journey when you die could be fun as well.

Simple and addictive. Good job !

I like it! It's a great entry and I can easily see more upgrades and obstacles/enemies being added to increase replayability -- though I've nothing against shorter games either :)

One frustrating thing that happened to me often is that bouncing off a rock results in almost immediately hitting another rock, so I often died from just making a single mistake. Maybe preventing rocks from being too close to each other / reducing the "bounce speed" / adding temporal invincibility would reduce these occasions.

The Bouncing Mechanic is a little bit frustrating. But overall its a very nice game and the upgrade system is a nice extra if you die :)
