Very much had that Arcade feel, which I really like. The graphics were well done, easy to discern what was what. The hectic nature of frantically digging under boulders was fun. The diminishing light is a great mechanic too. Well done!

Thanks! yeah, I feel both mechanics complement each other well.

Great arcade game. It feels like a distant cousin of Dig Dug.

Awesome game! Reminds me of Boulder Dash, but more fast-paced. I like how there aren't that many different mechanics, but they are very well utilised in the levels. Great job!

very well made, I just wish I have a little bit more time before the stones fall in my head haha. Nice work!

There's some Linux game I remember growing up playing that is like this. I saw the first map ad knew exactly the type of game this is. Took me back.

Developer

Cool! Which one?

Rocks 'n' Diamonds, which itself was a reconstruction of some older games (Emerald Mine and a couple others).

I think I played something like that on dos back in the day. You brought old memories with your game! Great entry!

Developer

Thanks! Would be nice to know which game I reminded you of, I’ll look it up :)

I don't remember the name, but for sure was a boulder dash clone.

Some clever puzzle levels, nice graphics and a real GB retro charm to it.

Developer

Thanks, much appreciated :)

I really like the aesthetics of this. Very cozy retro feel. A few bugs with the colliders where I died unexpectedly.

Developer

Thanks! Everything will move to kill you :D

Wow! This game is great! At first I tried taking my time with this game... but time runs out and the headlight doesn't last forever so I ended up playing this game like a speedrunner trying to mash buttons and rush to the exit instead of greeding for coins and a higher score ^-^"

I loved this game! Really amazing job!

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks :)

Outstanding! I was having a ton of fun with this game, even compared to some popular Indie games out there! The story hooked me in and it was pretty difficult to put down once i got going! The ghosts created a lot of tension, the levels were well-structured, and the headlamp going out provided a pretty good incentive to explore the tunnels and search for batteries! If this were my game, I'd flesh it out and put it on Steam! :)

Thanks! Really appreciate it <3

Wow! It took me a little bit to get the controls working, but when I did this is one of the most fun jam games I've ever played, and the levels just kept on coming! Great submission!

Developer

Thanks! That means a lot to me for a first jam and solo entry <3 It was fun to make the different levels!

Submitted

No problem! Well done!
