This is a really cool idea for a game in general. I could honestly see this idea being expanded into a full CRPG. Took me a second to understand the mechanics but overall really great submission!

Your link to the game is broken
Fun concept! Love the store idea to keep the game going a bit longer
Love the art style and the general progression of the game, very moody and relaxing making the carpal tunnel worth it
The digging mechanic is so fun and smooth. Very satisfying to control. Wish I could control the camera but overall very good
Very hard but love the obstacles. Would like for the movement to be a bit smoother, but overall very interesting
Graphics were nice, good use of color. Music was also nice. Collision seems off, not sure if it's just the HTML5 version though
That parallax background art is really cool! It feels like you really put a lot of work into it. Game is also really fun, and the controls are very intuitive
Simple but effective. Love the minimal art style. Controls and jumping are super fun. Only issues were with collision on the environment. Good job though!
Very spooky! Good job. Love that you did a maze generator for this type of game. Really feels like you can get lost
Really fun game, classic tower defense that's very straightforward. Only complaint is that the controls don't feel that good. But it's satisfying to play
Game is intentionally frustrating but in a good way. Love that it forces you to close all windows at certain points just to find out that you can't even run what you were trying to run.
Reminds me of Spyro with the level design. Really fun world that you've built, and really cute design for the robot. Only issue is that the camera seems to malfunction if you move it around too much
Wow, incredible! Very fun and very polished. Incredibly addictive game. The music/sound design when you're falling is incredible. Color story goes hard!
Very interesting concept, fun take on the theme
Really nice! Feels like a fully fledged out world. Only complaint was my first attempt I fell down the mine shaft and got stuck down there, and the elevator didn't come pick me up
Classic arcade style game. Good job!
Very cool vibe, love the overall style. Very ambitious to do procedural generation since it's hard to test. Good job!
Really fun! But bullets feel like they do virtually no damage whatsoever. I understand that you can't perma-die but at the Dash checkpoint I felt like I was just shooting and respawning over and over again because the enemies do way more damage that I do. Just something to think about. Otherwise I like the art style and the mechanics
Love the exploration, videos feel really unique, love the take on "depths" being diving into folders
Really nice, simple game. Satisfying controls and straightforward game loop. Loved the music
It's a really cool idea, however some sentences that I thought were "calming" didn't get picked up. I'm not sure if there are multiple answers or only one answer but that was a bit confusing. Otherwise it's really cool
Art style is really interesting, love overall world, it's really atmospheric
Very fun! Very cute! Controls took a second to really understand but once I got them they really gave off the "I'm riding a bug" feel
Had a lot of fun hurling the creatures until I realized that it was killing them lol. Pretty ambitious to make a full story, good job!
Love the swinging mechanics, walking is a bit slow but you get used to it. Good game!
Love the concept, I think if the controls were fine tuned + you added a story, you could easily turn this into a full game . Good job
Your HTML5 embedding didn't work right :(
Artwork is really cute. Love when developers really lean into the theme. This is very atmospheric too. Good job
The UI is really cool looking and it's a neat concept
Reminds me of the flash games I played when I was younger, and I mean that in a good way. Interesting combo of fishing and rhythm game. Some fish feel unforgiving though, but maybe that's just a skill issue
Really neat idea to have two machines that you control respectively to accomplish different goals. But it feels like they both do the same except one can actually drill. It's a cool idea, but I think it needs to be fleshed out more
I think if the walking/strolling sounds were a bit more varied this would make for a really nice art game
@zzy2141 + @celian thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate it
@glaupe-cabral We sort of rushed our "tutorial island" section, but you can slow the anchor down by pressing up. Also I'm partial to the controller as well. It feels smoother. Thanks for playing! And thanks for the feedback!
@justuspan Yeah, we were trying to go for a "no UI" feel but I think it just ended up being confusing. If we do anything else with the game we will definitely add a clearer timer once you start getting down to the end of your light meter. Thanks!
