Starts simple, gets tricky fast! Good game, could use some sound to improve the mood/humour aspect (an almighty crash of rock) :smiley:

Well done! Great puzzle game, kind of reminded me of boulder dash lol.
Nice! I like this kind of thing, grid-based puzzle games.
Might be nice if you could use the same button to pickup/drop things, rather than having one button per object type.
And I wasn't quite sure what the rules were about when exactly rocks would fall. I guess that does fit the theme, but for some reason when a game is on a strict grid I expect it to have really rigid, legible mechanics. But I suppose there's no reason it should.
Speaking of the theme, this is a really nice interpretation of it.
Although I did have some criticisms, I found they didn't really affect my experience of the game that much and ended up rating it highly.
Very nice game! Great graphics! The puzzles could get interesting if you had more time to do more levels.
Good puzzle, reminded 90s) Convenient control, but maybe will be better to use axe with another button, than move. Thank you for this game!
Super fun to play! I had a small bug on the display of the number of ladder .
It's really unfortunate that you ran out of time on this. With a few more levels and a little more polish (animations or at least looking left 😛) this could be really good I think.
I will say, it's a little unclear how exactly the supporting systems work. I was usually not quite sure specifically which blocks would fall when I mined a tile or removed a support.
Overall, good start.
Really cool set of systems that I bet create some fun puzzles, it's too bad you didn't get further since I would have loved to play some more. I liked what was here, cool systems, a nice underground vibe that the art really sells. Nice work, despite not really getting it to a complete experience.
This is a nice little puzzle game. Could've done with sounds - any sounds at all and I think a single unified interact button would've been enough for removing any object. I actually got stuck not far in!
Shows a lot of promise! I enjoyed the level that was there :)
I enjoyed the interpretation! The few puzzles there were were fun to figure out. The mechanics of how blocks fell when not supported did seem a bit hard to predict, though that seemed more like buggy edge-cases than unclear design. Overall I enjoyed my time with the game!
I liked the puzzle design and quite enjoyed the art! The last finished puzzle sure ramped up the difficulty, was a bit lost until I realized you started out with two ladders. As others have said the ladder number would sometimes display the wrong value and having one pick-up button for objects would've been great. But had a lot of fun playing, thanks for the game! :D
Interesting gameplay with a clean visual. It fits with the theme. Controls work well as expected. I had fun playing. You made a solid entry. Well done ++
This is an awesome little puzzle game! It uses a very simple mechanic but it makes for some great challenges. Congrats!
Nice Game!
That was such a good gameplay, it reminded me of Lode Runner, and the art is so nice!
Cool puzzle idea, I had trouble figuring out to do them when they got more complicated. The systems seemed to be good, the only issue I found was if I picked up ladders sometimes the UI wouldn't show how many I have correctly. Solid entry though!
