The Goldminor is a game about a guy who want to be rich! So he dig beneath the surface of the earth to find gold. And... That's all.
Press space to start digging and press again when the line came into the red, press the arrow keys to move and choose where to dig. You can't go back upward.
Find the gold in less than 100 seconds to win a trophy!
The idea reminds me of boulder dash, but this one is a tad simpler, of course. I am not really a fan of the "hit the red on the line to dig"-thing. It doesn't really change much if i don't hit (i just try again), so I think it might have been easier if the spacebar digged in the direction directly.

I kind of liked this game, but just a bit slow for my liking (then again, I am impatient...) that's a good, simple idea!
Just as @schnüt said, I'm not a huge fan of the red bar either, but maybe using it as a power bar would be better? So instead of break or not, have it break 0-2 blocks, but make sure there are areas that require a fine touch.
Not very challenging but fun to play and well made. I like the idea of changing a gameplay rule at each level and that the player have to find out what is different every time.
It would be really nice to have an indicator of the tile that I am trying to dig on top of my character or on top of the tile itself. I didn't notice the arrow in the corner for a long time, and it's not really in a good position to be seen quickly
I also saw a lot of what looked like gems in the background of tiles, but I couldn't find any way to collect it.
"I also saw a lot of what looked like gems in the background of tiles, but I couldn't find any way to collect it." They are just graphics, made to make the game a little more beautiful.
The concept is awesome, but the gameplay is kind of slow and hitting the red thing is always in the same position so its no that hard. Was fun tho :D Great work :D
Fun little game. Looks like you tried some different gameplay mechanics, and while some didn't fit, it was good that you tried different things. I could see how you were trying the reflex bar with the time to reach the gold, perhaps it would be more frantic if the timer counted down (like you were running out of air), that way you would only see the lower levels if you were quick enough, and the game would have lose condition. Keep up the good work.
