How does your game fit the theme?
You should dig deeper to earn more money and complete the game
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code is written by me from scratch, i used some sprites and music from itch.io

Excellent! simple yet entertaining. Maybe dont lower 02 when player is above ground?
Good entry for the jam, simple and effective. I liked the usage of Light2d and the shop at the end of every day, is a good addition, reminds me of flash games. Good job
I enjoyed this. I really liked the progression, kept me motivated to keep going and see how far I can go and how fast I can dig. I think for an improvement, it would have been nice to maybe pay to skip to a lower layer, as drilling through the same top layer was a bit tedious after a while. Nevertheless, this a good entry to the game jam, well done!
This was really fun! I liked digging into the ground to find ores, make money, and level up my skills so I could dig deeper. It's a really solid gameplay loop, and it was fun trying to see how far down I could go. It's also cool that each level/day is randomly generated, I liked exploring new random caverns as I went deeper. I guess a tiny nitpick is that it takes a few seconds to load the next level each time; maybe one idea could be to generate bits and pieces of the next level as you explore the current one, like you generate a couple of blocks per frame, so that way when your oxygen runs out the next level is already generated.
Overall, very well done with this game, I enjoyed it a lot!
Cool little game which fits the theme perfectly. Wish it was a bit darker. As of now glowstick felt a bit useless 😅
real nice game. I played for longer than I would have expected. made it until around diamond or so. it is surprisingly addictive!
A popular idea implemented correctly :) Fun little game and you can see the work behind the mechanics that make the game work!
Hey this was such a cool game! we made similar games lol but u definitely nailed it! i managed to get down to the third area after upgrading myself to level 10+ on everything and the ore generation was super cool!
How did u get the ores to generate in ore veins over just on their own? that was one problem i had with my game.
overall this was a cool mining game definitely one of the better in the jam!
I found the mining mechanic very enjoyable to use. Got into a zen state when mining out veins of minerals at points. Well done for implementing Procedural generation in the timeframe too.
Art style is nice and fitting for the genre, lighting effects are a nice touch, and music choice is good. Gameplay concept is of course on theme.
For improvements, progression felt a bit slow. Perhaps instead of generating a new level each run, keep the old one so the player can use previously dug tunnels to get deeper faster. I'd also suggest working a bit on the UI design.
Overall, a Fun little mining game that I spent a decent amount of time playing. Nice job!
