Love Pico-8

@hangergames Thank you for your kind words! There is currently a bug that causes this, last minute panic, we're working on fixing it, hold tight! :)

I love this game! It really fits the theme. I noticed that the link to the game is labeled "Source", but I didn't see any source code on the linked page --- just the game. Am I missing something?

@lot9s thanks! Source code can be seen by clicking "Code" below the game. Graphics and sounds can be seen if you own Pico-8, too. Here's our repo if you want to check it out, but there isn't much https://github.com/Yolwoocle/LudumDare48_DeeperAndDeeper

nice! glad to see other pico-8 games :)

What's going on with the very bottom row of the screen? I'd like it if the incoming blocks were visible, even when they aren't fully onscreen yet

Fun game...it would freeze up if I played fullscreen but was fine if I didn't. Good art and sound.

@pancelor It's a silly mistake! The blocks are spawning slightly higher than the screen height.

Great idea, nice game!

I missed a better indication of which gemstones give more points. Showing the order at the title screen or using brighter colors for more valuable gemstones would help.

Graphics are nice. The music is pleasant (although a bit too loud), differently from most Pico-8 games I've played. Good job!
