Dwarf Jorneyman with 364 score reports that this game is very addictive! The graphics are great for the genre, and the gameplay is very interesting. How I hate those crystals under the wooden supports, because of them I always lose.
Cool idea, the sound and art it's awesome, but I feel that the hit boxes are pretty big and you hit the walls so easy, relly cool idea, congratulations!!

@tentacledream Glad you enjoyed it! The crystal placement could definitely use some tuning :D
@marti-mayolas Thanks for the feedback! I know, the hitboxes sometimes feel a bit off especially when trying to swing the pickaxe to the side right after an obstacle. Couldn't really figure out what is going on within the time frame :(

It's like playing music game according to the beat! Great!
The graphics are nice, they work well together! Its a bit rough at first, but irons out once you get the hang of it. I feel as though the rocks sitting on the rail are a bit too hard to discern, maybe they need to be bigger to be more visible and better indicate, that they are blocking the way! The Music and sfx are really good as well. A solid endless runner!

@stealthorc Thanks! The rocks can indeed be a bit difficult to see sometimes. We already had to make them brighter at one point but I guess they still require some tweaking.

A good twist to endless runners, this should be the next Subway Surfer. Took a while to master it but totally worth it. One day I'll win those other dwarves
Super interesting idea. I love the visual style. It plays kind of like a rhythm game, or dance-dance revolution, just without the choreography, have yall though of converting it to a more designed dance-dance type of game, instead of the random generation? I found that prioritizing safety is the best strategy, some of the hitboxes are a bit unforgiving and get me killed, so I only go for safe gems.
Good job overall!

Really cool and funny games, not the only heist game that i have seen but the tuto and the suspicion make it complete.

the game is a bit to hard for me but really adictive and fun
Really simple and well executed game. The graphics and sound are really good. It reminds of temple run.
Nice!

Nice game! Hitboxes were hard (I particularly found that going left or right, when I'd passed a side rock, caused me to lose when I thought I was clear). Mining forwards/ducking down were far harder but that made it fun and addicting. Art style was simple but good, I like the lighting effect and that it changes when you duck. Great work!
The game is awesome, but the hitboxes are really hard. Overall i liked the game, at first try it seems a little hard but after a few tries you get the hang of it. Good luck!!!!

Amazing! This is addictive, especially in combination with the upbeat music. I also think it has the right level of difficulty. You always have to decide if you want to get the risky gems close to the wall.

Addictive, happy with my 456 highscore! (When in doubt, hold the pickaxe straight out)
Fun solid gameplay with nice fitting art and audio. I get the point of the lights rotating with your character, and decreasing vision when hiding, but the constant flickering kind of hurt my eyes a bit so I would look into a smoother way of handling that.
This is fun, and well balanced (sound, graphical effects, speed, ...). It would be great to have a health system so you don't loose as soon as you hit a wall ! Congratulations for your entry.
Really fun game with a good level of challenge! There were point where a diamond would be right after a wooden beam that I just wouldn't go for as the timing would result in hitting the beam.
Addictive. What a fantastic idea, cool graphics and sounds. The only issue I found is when you hit the tool against the wall and lose because of it. One of the most fun of this jam for me. record.jpg
