Nice little game. I like pico8 game a lot. Nice highscore feature.

Fun little game. The boot sound of pico8 makes me what to try using it during ld58 :D

Fun game - impressive for just 14–16 hours of work! I was surprised to find that the cave actually has a bottom :smile:

I like the random generation of caves, but that made the difficulty somewhat luck of the draw. My best run was 8221 but that only happened because the cave generated wasn't too difficult. I think to make this game more competitive (if that was a goal) would be to have a bit more control over the random generation. So near the beginning things start off wide and as you get deeper the passage becomes more narrow.

Overall simple and effective game design. Good job!

Simple and sweet. Only real note is it'd be nice to only have to press the button once to restart instead of twice (once on end screen and once on game start)

Nice diving game! I wish the game would start with wider hole then gradually get narrower and narrower.

Well done! :clap:

Simple, yet very effective!

High score 888 :sunglasses:

I pushed few tries again, over 2000, but after that, the RNG was a little bit unbalanced :cry:

Beat it!

So apparently 10109 is the highest score yyou can get, since you...found the bottom of the pit at that point!

Given your short time to create the entry, its pretty fun!

Pretty nice entry, always suprieses me how people can make something simple and yet fun.

Tried to get to the bottom but kind of got frustrated at the random level generation when sometimes I got nice wide caves all the way up to 3k score and sometimes I got the narrowest corridor known to man at sub 500 scores. Maybe some more constraint on when the cave starts to get narrower so I had a sense of progression?

All in all nice entry :smiley:
