Really nice game! I love the mining concept, and the dialogue was carefully designed too. Great level design and enjoy the process of mining challenge and the reward!

Very intriguing setting and boss you set up there. xD Hoping we can hold down the mine button if ever you do an update!

Nice and chill, but with some challenge to it. Good work!

Took me three tries to manage to win. That last challenge was quite brutal! Was expecting more of a twist at the end, but I guess the challenge itself is the reward. I liked the dystopian vibes and what happens if you take too many pills.

That's a nice little game, i enjoyed mining around. Well done !

Very nice and relaxing game. Reminds me of another game where you repeatedly hit stuff with a tool… ;)

Very cool! The mining is very satisfying (although i'd suggest being able to keep the mine button own instead of spamming). great job!

something about digging in games hooks me up. Nicely done!

Like the sound design! The game is nice but whyyyy why can't I dig under me, I wanted it so much xD

Simple and cool game, good job! My only comment is that it would have been nice to advance the dialogues with the interaction key (E), in my opinion. Good job :)

Developer

In fact you can advance them but with enter key  ^^

space worked as well

This is very cute and  I like the little bit of puzzle to it with  having to plan as you go.

Submitted(+1)

I liked that you have to plan your way down so that you still can go back up.  Good game!

Fun little game with nice dialog. I think being able to mine a tad bit faster in the early game might be a nice change. Otherwise really great overall, nice job on this!

Great little game with some hilarious writing. Awesome work!

Submitted(+1)

Had a lot of fun with this! More pills, please... but not too many. ;)

Submitted(+1)

Fun but it'd be nice if there was a way to mine below/above you, and if you could hold down control to mine

Developer

Thanks for your comment. It was a bit intentional in fact I feared the game would be too easy / short with it.

Really great concept! I think some parts of the game could be improved such as mining below you or better mobility options. Either way great game!

Submitted(+1)

I like the concept, but I felt the jumping and ladder were quite finnicky. I also think I encountered a bug where the pill and coal counter didn't reset, but besides that the game definitely adhered to the theme and with some more polish it could be quite fun

Developer

Thanks for your honest comment. 
I've pushed a lot of bugfixes since yesterday so if you want you can test it again.

Cool concept, I love mining games. The art is clean. I wanted to be able to mine downwards. Also in one of the runs I fell down and lost my character, and it didn't restart or respawn =(

Developer

Hi, thanks for your review. A bug seems to occur when you fall in lava, the game over screen does not trigger in the web export...

I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
