Interesting concept, wish there were more mechanics to play around with! Also, game crashed when I reached (what seemed to be) the bottom of the world.
The game reminds me of an Arcade-Minecraft due the time constraint :) It would be nice if the character could be controlled with W/A/S because it would be easier to play on an notebook as i am right-handed and use the touchpad.
Nice idea, you have to collect time first by getting the worms, then dig down to get the jewels :D Game crashed on me though with the following error (Windows): "pygame.error: Surfaces must not be locked during blit"
Pretty decent game, had an issue where the player disappeared a couple of times. Runs fine on Mavericks. Music would have been nice, and a few more mechanics to play around with, perhaps cave structures or something.
Every time a tile is removed, I make a pass on the 8 surrounding tiles to adjust the graphics. Guess what ? I check tiles out of level boundaries :'(

I have added a download with all dependencies bundled to my game.
I have also played your game. Looks like we had the same idea! I often got stuck when jumping up like here https://imgur.com/avNzrgW this was very frustrating.
Well done! :) I had some fun with it and actually dug to the very bottom were the game crashed(because of the end of the blocks?). It was great fun, good work^^
I fixed some of the bugs (mostly boundaries check) on the source.
I don't know if it is ok to release a bugfix version, I will check the rules. If it forbidden, I will make explicit packages of the new version, so you can enjoy a fixed game while still having the compo release to judge.
I'll repeat a lot of previous comments, but here it goes: * Mouse works best with WASD for right handed people. * I found the crash too (log: http://textuploader.com/rtny) * There is also another bug. The mole becomes invisible if you're too close to the block you're breaking (img: http://s7.postimg.org/mmkl33fyz/bugs.png). * I really liked the graphics. You really have a nice composition of colors which compliment. * I like the how cute the main character is * The gameplay was a bit too ordinary. It could have done with something new (don't be afraid to be bold and experiment)

So the arrow keys are a simple solution when I have no time to setup a configuration menu.

I had this bug once in a while, but not really often so I had trouble to fix it :(

I think the crash occurs when the player disappear, but its not systematic. I will try to fix it if I can.
