Nice idea, enjoyed using different instruments to extract something from stone

Game crushed on 3 mission, so i haven't finished it =(

Interesting take on the theme, had a chill time uncovering objects, for the most of the game. I liked the humorous story with the voice over.

I had trouble going above C rating because of the tools being bound to the screen border so it felt impossible to uncover the top part of the objects but still had fun and finished the game. Good job!

Very unique idea! I liked the art style, and the music, sound effects, and voice acting were all excellent. The magnifying glass effect is also really neat. I didn't fully understand the different tools, they kind of all seemed to do the same thing, and there seems to be a bug with the mouse movement that made it really difficult to aim (I'm on Linux, so maybe that contributed) - but nice work for a jam game!

My game is also about digging so I was interested what is this game about. Although it is different digging, the gameplay is pretty solid and unique, Good job!

Amazing work! It's super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)

Nice work I enjoyed clearing out the areas even though I only managed to get a high of B on one of them! I unfortunately couldn't finish all the levels as it kept crashing on level 3 when using the precision chisels. Loved the voice acting and premise though so good job!

Really well done! I enjoyed the concept and the overall feel of the game. The voice acting added a lot of personality and made it even more enjoyable

YOOoo this game is marvelous, the graphics and music are top notch. Great stuff. Found redoing tasks, with the same dialogue over and over a little tedious, didn't bother going back for a higher rating per mission, BUT wow this game is gorgeous, and charming, and the music fits the overall atmosphere flawlessly!

i wish that the tools were more intuitive. I felt like I didn't know what part of the tool to use to click on things. Still a cool game!

Nice game! Loved the voice over. The tools are a bit hard to used so I didn't get higher than B but I had fun. Great work :smiley:

Nice, the visuals are truly amazing! Everything was looked very polished and consistent!

Unfortunately, the game crashed when I clicked the "Done" button. I gave it another try, but it crashed at the same point. Too bad, I wish I could see more!

Good game!

Loved the narration and how the tools were very interactive to use!
