Pinger
Pinger is a mining game where the player uses sonar to mine for gold while avoiding water. The objective is to get all of the gold while digging up as little dirt as possible. The game is played with a mouse and (optionally) a keyboard. Instructions are provided in game.

very innovative idea and nice graphics too :) However I couldn't pass level two because of a bug (when I found the first gold piece, the ping didn't work anymore)

I like the idea of the game. It has potential. I enjoyed it.

Yesss. This is really good. Let-the-player-figure-it-out kind of game that makes you feel clever for figuring it out on your own. The different game modes are also welcome, although the first mode is perfectly interesting on its own! Well done!

Very nice game! A recommendation is to add more features to make levels a bit more different. After level 4, it gets boring.

WOW! This was really fun, and in some cases challenging. Very nice concept. I got a total score of 359!

Great game. And not just because I'm a lover of all kinds of triangulation.

This was very fun, my final score was 380 (I was pretty reckless.) Once I figured out that space would ping things went a lot faster. Good job!

Nice idea, but steering makes me angry. Still, good job!

Liked this one a lot. The pinging mechanic is a really cool way to map out the gold.

Great idea, well executed and very polished :)

This is actually surprisingly fun. Using the classic triangulating technique to find exactly where treasure is located is very satisfying. Nice work with this.






Congratz!
