Neat game! I couldn't tell if my performance in panning affected how much gold I got, or just how quickly I got through it and the gold was just random based on where I started panning. Controls for panning were... a bit painful, I'm going to have to take a break from the keyboard after this! I managed to get all of the upgrades, but I guess there's no game ending / victory condition (if that's true, maybe make a note of that on your game page for future players, or if there is something I missed, maybe a hint / let people know to look for it). Nice art and sound, and pretty unique gameplay!

Hi, and thanks for the feedback! I did the artwork, and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. For your first question, your performance only determines the speed with which you sift through the dirt; the amount of gold collected is determined by your pan upgrade and location.
Also, once you've purchased all upgrades, I'd recommend talking with the shopkeeper. ;)
