I don't know why, but I really liked this. You've gone with a "mining" kind of game, but still made an original and interesting game. One of my favorites so far!
had some trouble after freeing the polar bear, it didn't unlock the rest of the game. The mechanics are pretty fun though, feels like some sort of inverted puzzle or something
I had the same problem as Neekobus, I can't find a pick that gives me the upgrade required to dig through the ice after the polarbeardog. Did you run out of time?
The graphics itself look adorable and bright, just the way I like it. As a critique I might have to say that it is too hard to fail, though for a first level that might be a good thing. I had to work pretty hard to go game-over, and then I only managed to do that once I learned the layout of the level.
I loved it! Fix the polar bear dog bug, add more graphics for all the things in the ice, and I'll be a happy camper. I could see this going to ridiculous levels like cookie clicker or something.
A lot of fun! From what I played, though, it seemed very difficult to lose - was fun chipping away a bit of ice to look for the next goodies. Think there's definitely a lot of potential in this :)
This is interesting! SFX are appropriate and satisfying, and digging up prehistoric animals was fun. Graphics look good, too!
If you do a post-compo version, you might want to look at game balance/diversification. It was a good move to be able to uncover things that did you damage, since I had an almost unusably large store of clicks; however, if they actually become dangerous to the player, you'll probably want to give the player some sort of direction so that their fate isn't effectively random.
That said, you've done some great work with some really clean graphics and a nice user interface! Thanks for the game.
This felt like cookie clicker xD (There was even a cookie there!!) Strangely I couldn't stop, but I could only reach the polar bear dog, which I think it's a reference to Legend of Korra? :P

Clean graphics, and nice whale !
I had a problem : dig all I can until I found the polar bear. Then I'm stick : the left blocks are still dark.
