:D Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's so cool to hear about the future plans/behind the scenes for the game! I'm excited to follow the game's journey, and I know I'll come back to enjoy the demo frequently

Really loved this game, I can't wait to see where it goes! The graphics are adorable and the game play loop is rewarding while still having a lot of room to play with if more mechanics are added later down the line. The randomized bones/layouts at each dig site kept things from getting repetitive, and it didn't take me too long to complete both large fossils. Having information plaques on each fossil in game was also cool, I liked learning about them! I did manage to get the game working on firefox. I use a mac, maybe that bug is PC only?

Some suggestions (that you are by no means obligated to listen to!):

> having the direction you dig rely on the direction you're clicking instead of the last pressed direction input. It might just be a skill issue on my part, but I would miss my targeted dirt block so often because I would unthinkingly readjust a step vertically and not turn back.

> fun hats/costumes you can buy for the little guy (maybe fun hats for the large fossils too. if you are feeling whimsical.)

> some sort of explanation for how ratings work with fossil upgrades. I had a fossil get upgraded from bronze to gold, but visitors still treated it as bronze. Maybe I missed that you have to manually put the new fossil out or something?

>Another use for duplicate fossils could be some sort of npc quest where you're tasked to find a specific fossil for them to buy. It'd also give the player another avenue for money. 

> Some sort of brush-the-dirt-off-of-the-fossil minigame like the puzzle minigame could be fun, if you're interested in adding more of those. 

> someone else mentioned the remove display function being broken on mac, I experienced that as well

> gigantopithecus fossils (china) would be cool to include, if you're looking for more sites around the world.
