Nice idea of a game! I think archaeology in a game is rather unique, and you've really pulled this off nicely. The art is cute, the gameplay is really addictive and is actually quite difficult too! I've played for around 4-5 runs before getting a successful one, and I enjoyed every second of it! Even the upgrade system is really nice, with a reasonable downside to each of them. The signing UI is also a really nice touch.

The only criticism I can think of is that the artefact might spawn in really inconvenient places, such as directly in front of the drill or directly on the tile the worker is on, which, when a lot of them happened at the same time, felt a bit unfair and led to some quick game over. But anyway, this is a really well-made game and I think you've done a wonderful job!

Really cool and innovative concept! The tension kept increasing as I was digging those artifacts which was really in line with the setting. Those shiba inus really elevate whole experience lol. Amazing work!

A really cool game that kept me playing for some time. The visuals are amazing and the take on the theme is very unique. Well done!

VERY nice game! Loved alot of things about it. It was difficult at first, but once I got the hang of it I began to understand the best path. I just continued choosing to get faster speed. I basically avoided the little worker dogs because sometimes they will break my pesky stuff before I could do anything! The strat actually worked and I made it to 40. I was definitely sweating tho near the end, lmao. Loved the game, everything is great about it!

This game is quite hard, but I enjoyed it a lot! The gameplay is super fun and I think the element of risk was incorporated masterfully. My only gripe is the difficulty, but that's probably just a skill issue from my part. Other than that, I loved playing this. Great work!

I do enjoyed every aspect of the game! The gameplay is very cozy yet challenging. I think more worker and gadget will be good, yet it ruin me haha. Great game!

Impressive entry! Very elegant design, simple, intuitive and engaging. I managed to complete it after a few tries. The characters are very cute and mouth SFX are a always a game jam win in my book.

Great stuff, very well crafted in every aspect. Well done!

Very and and unique game

Quite hard, but loved digging up those idols. Very polished and loved the dog sounds chef’s kiss

Wow that was fun, and hard, but I finished it!

Nice concept and neat use of the theme. I had fun playing it!

I didnt know dogs can be so evil and cute at the same time :( very polished and cute game

Awesome digging game, dogs kept breaking my precious artificats !!!

Very fun concept and nice sound effects

I really like the concept!  It's really well developed and quite catchy. 

This is SUCH A GOOD IDEA haha I love the execution as well, so in the theme, nice job!

Lovely game! Really polished and well executed, I liked the pressure that the drill added. It really put pressure on me trying to be careful when digging the artifacts! The mayor boss character is fantastic (despite being a bit evil) and the sound effects for them speaking are great

This was SUCH a polished and fun experience!
Based on the tutorial, I thought this would be a bit too easy without any risk. But the drill completely changes that

Not only do you have limited time now, but also you have to be much more careful about which tiles to break
It brings a sweet strategic part to the game

I still think that it doesnt have THAT much risk but Id say its enough

The game is definitely fun, tho Id love to see more powerups and twists thrown with newer levels. I think theres ALOT of potential for the game still remaining

Also the games art and music were lovely!
Especially that dog voice acting xD

Great job you guys!
