Very fun game, well balanced, easy to understand, nice job! Sometimes the brick doesn't break the first time, is it expected?

Nice little game, and if you made it alone, that’s very impressive!

@telo-philippe thanks! Those are double bricks, perhaps the colors are too close to the normal ones.

Controls could be smoother, I feel like it should control similar to as if it was completely grid based. AKA, digging down should result in immediately falling down instead of potentially hanging on an edge. Think Motherlode type movement.

Not gonna lie, definitely had some trouble later levels haha, but I think it's really fun and could definitely be expanded upon. I really like the puzzle elements and trying to get the gold too during the limit. Really cool!

I really enjoyed this one. Made it to the level where you had to dig up and got stuck, haha

The positives: - The visual style was nice. It all meshed together very well, I felt like i was playing an old windows 95 computer game, haha - The music was also great. Gotta love that bass line, its gonna be stuck in my head I know it - Great premise. Digging games like this are a classic and it was definitely a lot of fun to play another, I cant think of too many in the past few years - I love the main characters hard hat <3 - I really liked the in built challenge mode of the gold nuggets

What could be improved: - that jump is really strong... like REALLY strong. going up 1 tile was quite tricky, haha - Like i said, I did get stuck on the digging up level. I dont know if I missed a piece of tech or something

Really like the art style you have. Did struggle having the jump key being Z, but overall a pretty cool first game that you made.

Nice game! I really liked the idea and think it's pretty creative. I do have some trouble with the controls being hard to use, mostly since im not used to it but its still nice. I also think there could have been something more to show the difference between normal and double bricks but i still really like the game.

I love the graphics they are very cute. The controls however were very finnicky, trying to drill and jump at the same time in some levels. I would have loved to see floatier controls where you can hang in the air longer to actually get the ability to drill upwards. The sound could have been better and by the later levels (after retrying a bunch) the same 3 seconds of music was grating. Overall I think it has a lot of potential, and turned out very good.

Nice first game with Godot!

The game is good overall, the gameplay is interesting, and it would be nice if the controls could be smoother

was unable to run it in my linux (latest elementaryos, based in ubuntu).

The graphics in this is extremely cute! I do agree that the controls were a little complicated at times, but overall it's a cute little game with a great concept. Keep it up!

ms-malloc 2024-10-12 22:12

@jose-pedro-dias Sorry to hear that :( I've made a web version now, hopefully that works!

Fun game, I wish the controls were WASD to move, Space to Jump and Mouse to Drill, took my brain a bit on level 3 to get the Hold X and direction to Drill, Jump, let go of both at the right time. Very cute game though, first I have played like it here!

rincs 2024-10-12 23:44

Everyone has commented about the controls, and I pretty much agree. The jump is just so crazy fast and high that it was hard for me to even finesse jumping up and digging. A grid-based movement would be nice, too, like in Mr. Driller.

I like the simple premise and the cute moles!!

roroto-sic 2024-10-13 10:23

im stuck at this level, i undestand i need to make some kind of stairs but as i can't dig while i'm jumping i dont know how ^^. Also maybe it would be even better with a grid based mouvement for the player 🤔 else its a great fun game, cute pixel art and groovy music Capture d’écran 2024-10-13 122007.png

Really well done puzzle game! Music in nice, art style is consistent, puzzles are fun. I agree with other people. Jumping is too fast and there is an issue with mining up and jumping. In the level everyone else got stuck I was able to get 2 moles, but it was super finicky and required a lot of smashing buttons (maybe I'm missing something), so every attempt ended with me run out of time to get more than 2 moles. Anyway. Good job with the game.

A fun game and very well made in terms of real pixelation

weine 2024-10-20 15:19

overall a nive little game. Using a narrow time limit makes it a real challenge. But I think the controls doesn't feel very precise and are a bit unforgiving for mistakes.

pachino55 2024-10-20 16:43

Such a cool game! Nice job

bloodbane 2024-10-22 09:39

Nice drilling gmae. I couldn't finish level which requires me to drill upwards while jumping cause the drilling tool takes too long to work.
