I love this game so much, I could just keep playing it for hours. For me, this wonderfully captures the idea of counting down and there's something about the setting and the allure of a possible cavern of riches underground that make the main fantasy of the game so appealing. The feeling of trying to remember to dig in spots to reach a huge stash of treasures was particularly satisfying when I reached them. You've really made something special!

Thank youuuuu! :D Such kind words. I'm glad the cozy vibe came through, in the first design we had a timer but we all felt it was too much stress and settled on the number of digs being your countdown instead. Getting to take your time and look around felt WAY better.
And yessss that's exactly what I was hoping for re: remembering you saw something interesting, buying power-ups that night, and going back to it the next morning to explore. :)
