Intersting game! The "hover" mechanic was a cool twist, and allows you to dig very fast with proper timing ^^. Well done!

Great work. I love a good one button game

Very fun game and very challenging! :'D Others have already made the comments about the screen, but well, stuff happens during game jams so. I just zoomed in :) I do agree that the difficulty level was too high for me. Other than that I loved the pixel style, and the audio!

Simple game. Good idea!

I liked this a lot, and I understand why the screen is small with you aiming for an old gameboy game aesthetic. The graphics are nice, the gameplay is fun, it's tuned well as I had to pay attention to energy and it took me just enough time to figure out the controls where I wasn't annoyed but had a fair learning curve. As an audio guy, I'll say the music was great, and the sound effects were okay, but needed variation and rate limiting. For instance, if you dig yourself down and bounce off the walls really fast the audio gets a little too hard on the ears. Outside a few small things, great job!

Boy, that screen is smaller than my will to live

All ya gotta do is dig!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. The pixel art style is amazing! Especially with the 8-bit audio you chose to work with!
  2. The game is very fun, and kept me going!
  3. The simplistic mechanics of the game make it easy to learn!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Maybe just have varied break sound effects, just so that it doesn't feel repetitive with the same sound.
  2. Maybe decrease the amount of skulls that spawn, because I died often to them because there were too many!

Overall 📓

I had fun playing your game! Great job on this one! Cant wait to see what you have next in store! Because their was something very satisfying about breaking all those blocks and going deeper!

Developer

I hope to improve on them in the next one.

I loved the simple approach to the game. I think some of the audio bits were a little loud, but overall I enjoyed the sound and the gameboy style. Great job!

Developer

Sorry for the loud volume.

Developer

I would like to update so I can adjust the volume

Nice idea and execution. The sound would need to be much lower though.

I may have been too loud, sorry.
