Loved it! Perfectly scratched that Dig-Dug itch, and I enjoyed every second! It had a bit of a steep learning curve, with some of the seemingly cleaner paths actually being a hinderance for later levels, but that honestly helped cement the theme for me. Your stamina bar and bomb count are persistent! Pretty great concept. I am curious however, what the chances are for levels to generate with no plausible solution. There were a few times I'd dig and just get a whole row of !!!!! lmao.
Just meant I got to play some more, so I didn't mind it. One of few games I'm giving five-stars across the board! Keep up the great work.
reminds me of a certain old phone game. Not sure whether it was nokia or something else. Really neat. A bit hard due to permanence but well done
Very sleek retro style and addictive gameplay! The only issue I encountered was once collecting all the items, moving between some parallel paths was a little tough (leading to some frustrating deaths lol) Awesome work!

I dig your game..heh. It all fits together well!
Such a great idea! And executed flawlessly. Well done!
Very cool idea! it had a pretty great puzzle theme to it!
This is a KILLER concept! I love this. Once I figured it out, I was hooked! Is there any way to replenish your meter??
Edit: Figured it out! Love this game so much!
Nice, retro, and really hard! Although that might just be due to my lack of foresight. A really cool concept well executed!
tbh I had sooo much fun playing your game its really unique and a fun experience well done , also it made me realize that I'm dumb and love gathering resources blindly instead of make a path to my exit!
This was a lot of fun, I misunderstood the stamina as being per-level but it doesn't refill! A very fun use of permanence, quite a lot of strategy and depth to this game!
I had a blast! Seriously, great work in all categories! Reminds me of DigDug, one of my old favorites. Thought it was a Pico-8 game but I see it's GMS, very cool.
