Nice concept! I completede the game on day 7, really funny to play. The power ups make a huge difference very soon, for the game jam is nice, but maybe for future upgrades it could be nice rebalancing. Nice job!

Very cute game, I enjoyed mining resources and improving my character. Great job! I would have liked to be able to dig upwards, though I can see why you decided to scrap the idea. A couple of the tails under the stores should probably be made indestructible. Since the game doesn't have an endless mode, it would be great to have a simple score system and compete with friends to see who can get the most resources in 7 days.
It's like that good old motherload flash game (or "a game about digging a hole" more recently), nice that you've made this in such a short amount of time ! Adding a twist to the gameplay would have make it a unique game :)

Wooo for Motherload-likes! I'm not biased at all :smile:
Very nice, you got much farther into making an actual game than I did!
I do think you might have missed applying deltatime on the movement/dig speeds, I have a 165Hz screen and my dude was flying right off the bat, cross the map in 10 seconds. With the level 1 mining upgrade I would already accidentally dig new tunnels when trying to navigate existing ones.
