I really liked the idea and the simplicity of the mechanics. The game could easily be developed into a full Steam release, for example.
The gameplay is very relaxing, one of the few games in the jam that really hooked me.
Quite fun! A bit frustrating to not be able to walk diagonaly, but i really love the graphics!
Great job, I liked the gameplay, great music!

I was having fun digging stuff up, just got the jewelery scanner and then I got some bug where I couldn't dig anything up anymore no matter how long I held dig. It seemed to happen when I found something that seemed like it was inside the fence, but after I started digging it would never let me get the item. then after that anywhere I dug never gave the item. So I refreshed the browser and lost all my progress ;_;
I love the mspaint style graphics <3 The sounds were cool, loved the ambiance. I love digging games xD
Why is the game so small? I could hardly see anything on my 4K screen until I used my browser's zoom. It's really hard to distinguish the sound of the scanner from the background music, the music level needs to be significantly decreased or allow users to turn it off entirely. Otherwise, nice entry with passable graphics.
DIG TIME!
It's time to dig, my dudes
im really aDIGted to this game! awesome art and the music and mood are superb! love it - wait no I DIG IT!!!!
this was weird haha, hulk hogan digging for soda cans.
Dug 5 empty soda cans up. Pretty accurate simulation of the real deal :) I love the concept. I'd prefer if there were two speeds to running around with the metal detector out though: the slowness is needed for pinpointing the soda cans but could do a broad search fast.
Why is the game so small. I almost didn't play it. I did get it working and the game was pretty fun. I like the graphics as they were simple. Game play is simple, but man, make the screen bigger
@fritzendugan I'm sorry you got this frustrating bug! I think I've fixed it.
If anyone else gets this please send me your console log Screenshot 2025-10-08 182408.png
thanks for digging <3
@flying-dog-fish @beebster-games thanks you both for playing and the feedback, the game is now (slightly) bigger in browser! (+ alt+enter to fullscreen in windows download)
@flying-dog-fish agree, including a volume/music slider would have been a good idea.
DIG TIME!
@ansible I'm sorry I didn't save the log *doh* I should've given that to you. Glad you fixed the bug! And no worries, these things happen! I had a blast playing your game
I dig it!
Dig time! Really fun idea and I liked the simple graphics. :)
Is that macho man!? Good Entry! I wasn't able to collect anything other than cans, and there were a few times I couldn't dig up when I'm sure I should have been able to.
Gameplay could be faster, but I like it overall
very interesting! DIG TIME!
The visual style is very funny and looks like it was made in Paint. I like it.
Интересно воплощена механика, действительно погружаешься в процесс, как наставлял Джесси Шелл! Но местами слишком затянуто и однообразно, как будто не хватает нарративной составляющей, чтобы некоторые собранные объекты имели предысторию, почему они там оказались, окружение не дает этой информации. И продолжая мысль, вышел не самый удобный, а точнее не продуманный левел-дизайн, например, зачем заставлять точку сбора банок скамейками, если их нельзя обойти? Это не удобно. Да и при делении карты на 2 яруса слишком мало спусков вверх и вниз. Так что у вашей игры есть отличный потенциал. Отличная работа, ребята!
@lerkadverka Thanks for this insightful and constructive feedback. I don't even know why I blocked the player with the benches, it even annoyed me in testing XD Some narrative and 'dig missions' were planned but all lost to time. Great suggestions for the map and level design. Thanks for digging!!! <3
I love this take on metal detecting. It's completely different than ours. But it's great all the same. For a first jam entry this is awesome. I couldn't help but vibe out to the music. I'm listening to it as I type this message. The sound effects for the metal detecting make it really clear when you are about to hit an item. Fun game. Well done!
Cool game, interesting graphics, good job
IT'S DIGGIN' TIME !! (unfortunately I'm quite sad, I love the concept of the game and the art wich I think is full of humour, sadly I kept pressing E but never got to dig at any point :(( Is there a keyboard issue ? I seem the be the only one encountering this problem )
@amande-dooce oh no did you get 'DIG TIME' appearing? Because that might be a known (thought fixed) bug. Or if not maybe you were not quite in the right spot or its a new fun bug :D Sorry it wasn't quite right thanks for the nice comments!
This game is addictive! Spent a lot of time digging things up, hoping to find a watch or a ring but got only cans or trash. Music fits perfectly! Great job!
