Cool game, a bit hard to survive

Thanks to all
My idea was to be difficult

Very difficult, indeed! The gameplay is simple, but the strategy to survive is not!

I was surprised at how long I ended up playing this game. It was very fun! Keep up the great work! ;)

Doing full circle makes all enemies one but 1 hit 1 death :D

Spoiler solution:
Going farest corner, w8 for enemies to come, run to other corner and open :)
I like it!

Cute game! :)

I liked the graphics and the music was great. Where did you go to create the music?

Little word of advise: don't use installers for your game, usually people don't like them and prefer zip file (but I've no idea if it's even possible with Gamemaker?).
That being said, nice little game, would definitively see that on mobile. Good work!

I couldn't really figure anything out regarding combat. Who was attacking me and when, or how to strategically attack back. I ended up just pressing z repeatedly since that seemed to attack in all directions (despite what the animation suggested), sticking a few presses of space in there every now and then to dig. That seemed to work most of the time, but sometimes I'd end up taking damage from someone and I couldn't tell who or why, or what to do about it.

I think I crushed my Space-Key :D Nice Job!

Sorry, can not remember the site name, but is a site that creates songs randomly, and put the version and just click and play
Thanks to all

Very Difficult game, nifty idea to Dig n' Survive!

Had a hard time at first, but eventually managed it.
Repeatedly mashing space instead of holding space was not obvious for me.
That being said, it's pretty good.

Nice art, and quite fun! But sore hand yeah.

Not bad. Digging stuff up was pretty satisfying. I would say a potential improvement would be to adjust the pacing of the enemies while adding a cooldown to your attack so there's a little more strategy there other than spamming the attack button.

I spent most of the game simply spamming the space-bar to kill enemies. I understand this is the primary challenge of the game but it was not one of skill, merely dexterity. This game would destroy phone screens on mobile.

It would be nice to see this game expanded with some kind of strategic elements. Not being able to pass over holes, for example, could provide some depth to the experience.

nice keyboard bashing game there. it was pretty good and I thought it fit the theme - pretty hard too - good job

Basically just mashed space and Z over and over again until my fingers bled. It was kind of exciting/fun at first in that "yeah! button mashing!" sense, but the novelty rapidly expired and quickly grew tiresome. Needed some kind of variation in the attacks/enemies. Maybe bombs and the like. And varied enemy spawns, they just kind of kept flowing in an endless slaughter, which in turn kept me mashing buttons.

could probably be modified into a decently fun mobile game.

Nonetheless, kudos to you for making a game this past weekend and seeing it to completion, not everyone always makes it through, and most people don't even try.

A really neat game, although my left hand hurt a little after playing it :S
At first, I did not understand that you need to press Space repeatedly to dig up a square, mostly because the progress bar was hard to spot.
That being said, both graphics and audio are awesome. Good job!
