Nice and simplistic clicker game, would have loved to perhaps see some more different upgrades or things that can happen when you mine. I eventually managed to find the diamond!

I honestly think this is a great game jam game! I actually got really glad starting it and seeing it was a clicker! So good idea!
I think its not really connecting though. The biggest issue I have is that gold is not generated quicker and quicker, so it doesn't really scratch that clicker itch. I assume the gold is randomized once per click, but it probably should be once per meter. If you manage to squeeze in some more upgrades, like one passive digger at 1 m/s. And something else say 200m every 5s but it has a 20% chance to break I think that would do a lot for the game. I also think it would be great to have the upgrade (with cost) visible from the beginning. I dug to about 2500m. But I don't know if something else would happen eventually (for example another upgrade would appear) or if I've seen everything. But obviously time is always the issue
Anyways, super cool you joined the jam! And I really appreciate a clicker once in a while
Definitely would've loved to see the accelerating rewards that make clicker games so fun, e.g. more gold the further down you are. Otherwise it's a nice base for a clicker game and a faithful embodiment of this [meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/never-give-up-digging-for-diamonds) . Nice work!
