CONTROLS
WASD == Movement
Spacebar == Jump
S + Shift == Dig
W == Return to surface (next to a vine)
As HTML5 does not natively support gamepads, I recommend downloading JoyToKey and mapping the inputs that way, although the game is perfectly playable with a keyboard.
You can download JoyToKey here:

Music and sound effects were created using pxtone Collage, which you can download here:

Aside from a few basic systems I've made in previous projects (asset management, handling of animations and audio elements, etc), everything you see is coded from scratch in Javascript. This game was not built on any external framework and all physics and systems unique to this game were built from the ground up.
I hope it's as fun for you to play as it was for me to make!
NOTICE: I recommend playing this in either Firefox or Chrome, as Internet Explorer seems to crash as soon as you go underground and the sound doesn't work. I'll look into fixing this as soon as I'm able.

I've now posted a link to the post-compo version, which fixes a number of issues people have been having with the game. I'll be making updates to this periodically, as there are still a number of bugs to fix and some polishing work to be done.
For the sake of fairness, PLEASE do not play the post-compo version until you've played and rated the original!
