Fun game. I love mining :D

I like the concept, I feel like moving side to side should reset the mining timer, it felt kind of clunky and it was possible to destroy multiple blocks at a time by spamming the left and right movement. The upgrade system is nice and it is definitely an addictive gameplay loop.

good gameplay loop

I made it to the end!!! 

The game was very fun, it seems we had similar ideas :)
The graphics was awesome and the gameplay loop was great! Nice job.

Simple, but fun and addicting gameplay loop :D

simple game but fun to play.

Not a bad idea for a game. Graphics are simple but overall good

This would make for a great mobile game! I like how the diamonds refill the boost meter, allowing the player to boost for days. It also ups the difficulty as it becomes a risk vs reward. Well done

Nice work, successfully made it to the core! I really like the the power creep over the course of the game, comparing your final form to the slow mining of the start. It was very satisfying full boosting, weaving my way between the magma block. Well done for submitting.

So funny game, i liked the final scene

thanks I kind of didn't expect anyone to finish to be honest.

Interesting concept. The progress/speed increase felt very satisfying. I also liked the character-design. Good idea with the exclamation-mark as an early warning.
Small improvements could be made by increasing the difficulty when mining and making the camera static on x-axis when moving lanes.

I really had no idea what to do and couldn't figure out how to play but the time I did play for I found enjoyable. I found the game a little unusual which I thought was cool and I enjoyed the spin move when pressing space bar

Submitted(+1)

It was satisfying to progress from mining slowly at the start to insanely fast by the end. I did find that the game felt a bit under-polished, e.g. moving left and right felt buggy (and needed an animation), and I'd constantly get killed by magma by changing lanes right after it. But overall, nice work!

I like the game. Little too fast on max upgrade

Submitted(+1)

I wish I could see a bit further down since when you start getting boosts you dig really fast and it can become difficult to dodge magma. I felt like the more I upgraded the more I started to die in the upper levels when magma starts. Besides that great game, quite addicting!

Developer(+1)

yeah I thought of that then got used to it. I  probably should have other play testers besides me.

Submitted(+1)

amm...well I don't enjoy it too much ... just because its soo grindy , but great job man , keep it up 

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed this once I figured out how to play it.

Developer

yeah I got the itch page done bare bones at 3 am I'm going to add instructions in the description.

This is not a game that should have physics. I managed to clip through blocks by spamming left and right. Also a fixed camera (X-axis locked) would work better.

Very addicting, I was contemplating making such a game myself

This is what I would call a literally down to earth game
