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!

Cool game! throwback to oldschool mining games, the music is pretty nice!

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.
