I think I've seen this type of game before ...

Is this game one button killing? And how it using the theme?

Pretty hectic after the first few levels, but I had fun playing :)

Nice to play this. Wasn't easy once that giant turkish rug thing came for me :)

Digbot and his full range of robot emotions really brought this game to life

This was really awesome! I liked the concept and the lava was properly terrifying lol. Excellent work!

I do like a bit of Mania in my games and this certainly provided it.
However I may have to charge you for keyboard replacement :P
Great game and lots of fun (and lava)

Very fun! The end of the first level had me enraged!!! Good work :D

Fun, frantic gameplay, but pretty difficult. The lava also starts really quickly and if you aren't expecting it you are basically screwed on your first playthrough.

Super-fun game! As soon as I saw the lava I just started furiously tapping the spacebar hoping to outrun it. Took a couple of tries, but I made it!

Very good game, really frantic. It's a tad annoying that you have to start all over again once all lives are gone. The fifth stage did me in (the one with the bombs).

Completely non themed though :)

Quite fun and had me playing a while. Trying to dig up though is pretty difficult, and couldn't get past level 4 or so because of this. Also don't really see how this is related to the theme at all but whatever lol. Nice game

Great game, really fun ;)

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

I tried to connect the theme within the story/title cards in that Digbot was moving through an old connected tunnel of two worlds, but I can absolutely see how that doesn't come through enough for true thematics. Definitely something I'll keep in mind for my second LD!

Nice game! I had to stop playing because otherwise my spacebar will sue me. Is it me or there is no audio on this game?

Cool game :) I destroyed my space button, but it was fun, though a bit too difficult. I would have finished the game if I had unlimited lives.

Nice game ! I like it and that lava puts the game even more interesting.

I dig it, those levels hard as rock, but Digibot should have paper drills to dig faster xD

now seriousley, great game, the visuals are simple but effective and the levels are really well designed and the parts with text really add deepness to the game.

Seems to be a dropbox error so I can't play now. Bookmarking for later because I want to try this one.

Dropbox link (Web) should be working now. Added a Game Jolt link as well just in case!

Dat Lava! Had me racing like a madman. Glad I came back to this one, this was a lot of fun.

At first it doesn't seem like much, but the buttom smashing, retro looks and fast decision taking made this thing really fun to play, congrats!

The story didn't make much sense to me (seems like a few words were missing?), but he's a Digbot so whatever he says as long as he digs ;) Good level design too.
