WebGL version on this page is "404 Not Found" :( On windows gameplay is fun tho.
I really like the visuals here. And terrain editing is one of my favorite features in every game :D

This is a really fun game, the drilling is very satisfying and I had a lot of fun trying out different upgrades. The lava constantly trying to get you adds a lot of thrill to the experience. Would love to play a polished post-jam version of it in the future.

The game is really cool, it's hard to imagine you did all this in just 72 hours!
I think this might be another bug - where you can't modify the black terrain:

And it appears lava in farlands crashes the game ^^' but it's really fun!
This game sucked me in for a good half hour. No regrets, I enjoyed it, it was fun! I must found the far-lands too :^)
Wow, addictive gameplay there. Kept playing until level 120ish, even if I kinda got too strong for the lava to catch up with me, and could choose from 6 different upgrades all the time. I could totally see this scaling up a lot more with more tiers of soils and minerals to drill from.
Amazing game!
really really GOOD!I was stuck in this game for 15 minutes XD
Destructive terrain in a JAM? Crazy. Cool take on the theme!
I've played your game longer than any other, but it was a pain to die. I didn't realize it was so important to level up HP! Very good entry
Congrats omg awesome for a Jam!
Great game, really addictive! GJ
I've played this game too much. Let's say, digged too deep...
You can check the playtest on youtube. I edited the 1 hour video to be short as possible to highlight essential things I explored in your game.
Spoiler: dying being unable to get safe - that is the real tragedy of this game.

I spent a very long time playing this, what a wonderful idea. Very good graphical representations of everything and the audio was great too! the constant increase in danger from faster and faster lava kept me on my toes - ultimately I died to the evil invisible wall XD. My only suggestion would have been to add a quick tutorial on the goal, I started off not understanding that I had to mine the orbs, instead - I was trying to dig around them (to free them from the terrain). Overall excellent submission! :).
This is sooooooo addicting! Really nice entry! Wish you added a "pause" button though so I can take breaks sometimes :smile: (or did I not notice it?)
Neat visuals and fun smashing of rocks! The tension ramps up as you go, but it seems hard to avoid the lava at times? Busted around quite a bit, good job!
Very clever usage of the theme. The game looks very pollished with good level progression.
It's impressive for a 72h jam time.
I really enjoyed!
Super fun! Congrats on the excellent score. I love how you've distilled the fun of mining into a very smooth and enjoyable gameplay loop, and the expanding lava mechanic is a great way to add tension and put an emphasis on meaningful perk choices. Great job!
