Fun game :)

Really moody audio. Like the gameplay - my score was 37 ^^

Très bon jeu. C'est original, les mécaniques sont simples mais bien pensées, et les graphiques et la musique sont très solides pour un truc fait en 48H.

Beautiful game! I love the art and animation. Music is also pretty good. It's also pretty fun to play!

It could use some more explanation of game-mechanics but the game is small enough to figure them out as you go.

Great job!

Hmm, Windows defender isn't too happy about LD_MoleGame.zip (the .exe) identifying it (or mis-identifying it) as "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml" [Severe] ``` LD_MoleGame.zip|https://w3g3a5v6.ssl.hwcdn.net/upload2/game/1220105/4544891?GoogleAccessId=uploader@moonscript2.iam.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1633478345&Signature=oU0S2Pa78EF ```

86 Highscore!! I was taken out by some kind of abominable conga line... I really liked this, the art and sound were perfect, and the gameplay is pretty unique and definitely fun. It was cool to have to rewire my brain, which has been conditioned so hard by other mining games to mine everything in sight. Simply a great entry, congrats!

Was attracted by the art. The game is like the classic minesweeper but remade in a interesting way. I am addicted to play for 20mins (although I didnt have luck to get a high score). Seems like there is no way to save myself if I am in the middle of the fragile area? By the way I am into this music so much, not too sure if it is made by you but the bass part is amazing. Will definetly play your other games. Great job.

Got 588 after figured out how to play. The rule of 9 cells as not obvious. Yeah, I see that you trying to show this at start room but it not worked =( Good entry, on of the best for me at this LD. Pretty relaxing game!

Fun game! It certainly matches the theme. The artwork and sound effects are pretty good as well!

The good ---

* Art and animations. The mole is really qute and the color pallete of the game fits its cave environment. * Music. Pretty enjoyable and nice. * The procedurally generated world provides a lot of replayability and blends well with the game. Every game is a new unknown world that you have to tread with caution. * Enemies. I only got to see 3 (don't know if there are more) and they definetely fulfil their purpose of putting pressure on you. * Nice mechanic that fits the theme! I really like the fact that you have to dig cautiously while being chased by the enemies. Minerals are placed in places that a greedy digger will cause the ceiling to collapse.

The bad ---

* It would be nice if you could undo your last action when the ceiling is ready to collapse. Not sure if this intentional, or something that you would consider adding given more time. * Game feels a bit too hard once you progress a bit further, with no apparent way to overcome the massive hordes of enemies. Given the limitations of the game jam though, I feel the enemies are already balanced enough.

Summary ---

Really cool game, with nice art and music to capture your interest and constantly evolving levels to keep you interest and increase replayability. I really enjoyed playing this game and I can see myself coming back for more to see what secrets these caves hold :)

Great job on the game and keep up the good work.

Awesome graphics, moody music)) I like mechanics of lava spreading and "roof" collapsing, but those spiders are brutal! Overall great entry!

shuimen 2021-10-20 15:50

Awesome! A bit confused at first, but soon I found the strategy to survive. Really nice work.

sleepystudios 2021-10-21 10:07

I liked the game and it instantly made sense to me what the objective was. The art was really nice and the music was pretty soothing. It felt like it was pretty much game over after encountering a spider as you couldn't really escape it (or could you?). Nice work!

Incredible game! One of my favorites thus far. The gameplay was extremely good, and I really enjoyed the amount of content it had - I spent around 15 minutes playing it. The first time I encountered the caterpillar enemy was great - it was pretty scary - and once I realized you could kill monsters with cave-ins, I was mindblown. And there are also the awesome graphics and good music. I think adding a slight pause/effect when encountering lava or monsters to reduce accidental suicides (most of my deaths were because I pressed buttons too fast) would help, but other than that, amazing entry!

My highscore was 437.

Really fun little game! The idea of a mole-roguelike is brilliant. The graphics and sounds were also really charming.

ukulelefury 2021-10-21 16:05

Wow, what a great game! I love the art, the mole is very cute, and the enemies are very creepy! I was terrified when I found my first worm thing. Then it collapsed itself, and I got a _ton_ of points! Nice! Very clever and fun game. Also, the music and sounds are great.

negator2vc 2021-10-21 16:23

Fun game fitting perfectly with the theme with awesome graphics! Nice work!

zarkonnen 2021-10-21 16:57

Love it! Amazing art, really neat mechanics. Make this into a full game and I will buy it.

I did find one crash, see https://i.imgur.com/potL0fu.png

I'm a big fun of all kinds of digging game, so you got me just with the theme! The game is a lot of fun. The pixel art is amazing. Music is really nice and game mechanics are well done. I notice that one of the resources gives zero points, and I'm not sure if this is a bug, or it is intentional. I just wish there was a way to deal with the spiders. Fpr example if they had limited amount of jumps and disappear after few. I would also love to see more! More traps, more types of enemies. I know the time was limited, but I enjoyed the game a lot and just want more :) Great job!

Agree with all the comments above. Pretty cool little game made far more addicting by not wanting the music to stop playing. Enemies were a bit too brutal but decent for the time frame given. Nice job
