First LD!

A game about digging to the earth's core and relieving pressure so it does not explode !

Gems get points so... collect those.

Update

I fixed the 2 bugs mentioned. Ie High Score not being displayed and the weird end of level bug.

Nice game. A way to look at my highscores would be nice.

Love the music, you can never go wrong with 8 bits chiptune like music ;). Agree with other comment, we should be able to dig using only the directional keys. Other than that, cool game.

Pretty awesome! Music was sweet as well :)

Found it pretty entertaining although way too easy.
If a game is a bit short, there's no shame in making it more difficult. ;)

The in-game music was great. Very Sunsoft NES-esque.

I'll never get tired of saving the earth! Nice little game, wasn't that challenging though. Still had fun playing it :)

Nice game, but wished the movement of the player would be a lot more smoother ;)

I got an error though after failing:
Actor.lua:198: Attempt to use destroyed body.

Damn. I've just seen the bug too! I will fix and re-post!

Thanks to everyone who has enjoyed the game ! it was fun making !
People werent getting their high scores loaded - and ive fixed that too
sorry you cant skip the opening text and that the movement is little rubbish sometimes
i was meant to make it so, every time you complete a level your score carries over and the timer is less and the gems are worth more - but i guess im not allowed to just add things in :[[

Unfortunately the controls are clumsy enough for me to not be able to get much O2. I like the concept overall. Nice job.

Neat little game; didn't like the drag in speed when you hit a wall and the slow acceleration back up, but it was a solid game otherwise.
