I really like the sound and art design! It's really a delightful game. I just have one criticism about the walljumping mechanic, it counts as a walljump even if I am standing on the ground running towards the wall, which caused some mild inconveniences when I just wanted to jump up and it registered it as a walljump, making me jump backwards! And since the jump is fast and you can hold the spacebar to keep walljumping, sometimes I just pressed my spacebar a little bit too slow and the character counted that as two jumps, if that makes sense, making me lose control of the character a little bit!

Other than that though, I had a lot of fun digging my way through the levels, the digging sound is very satisfying too, and having all those golems following me around is very nice, I love recruiting large amounts of npcs in a game, so that was fun! Good job!

Is this just one procedurally generated level after the other?  This is a neat idea.  I just wish you had more time with it.

Yes, sadly our intended end finished product didn't make it through in time and we had to push what we had complete and cut out what wasn't.  Thank you for the response!

Fun idea, and I like the digging aspect. Just a shame that you couldn't flesh it out more

Developer

Yeah we had high aspirations but didn't weigh out our time, thanks for the review!

simple mechanics but quite fun - deserves to be fleshed out more

We had a lot more in plan for the game but we over-blew our scope and had to compromise! We all hope to develop what we envisioned without compromise soon. Thank you for your response!

This is a great looking game with fun mechanics.
Love the take on the theme and it feels very polished.
Gonna come back to play more later!

Thank you! It definitely shows a lot of compromise we had to make to meet the time restriction and even then barely managed, even then it was still a lot of fun. I appreciate your review!
