Thanks for the feedback! I played your game and it was that right kind of 'just-one-more-try' frustrating for me. Really liked the mechanic.

Thanks for the feedback, I think the attack needs some work for sure.

'Start Digging' is a totally better name!

Thanks for playing it! I wish I had time to make the attacks register more, prolly the first thing I'd polish. Then movement, animations, having sound... 😀

I played it, and it's super fun. Love the swinging mechanic, and the fast paced music and gameplay. Great game!

Here's my little game: https://itch.io/jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3737647
Note: you might have to click on the game itself to get the keyboard controls (arrow keys + D to attack) to register

Fun swinging mechanic, nice bite-sized gameplay.
