Dig through rocks and reach your best score. This is a game made in 5 hours for this game jam. For this game jam I focus on making audio (is the only game I made where I use sounds). It was a very nice journey and I regret that didn't have much time for it. Hope you like it!!!
Nice job on making this game in 5 hours! The graphics and core game loop wokr well. For sound i think the most noticeable thing for me was that the sound effects seemed to be quite sharp over the music but also the music seemed to have a very simple loop that repeated fast. However, this is nicely done in just 5 hours!
Pretty good considering it's only made in 5 hours, with music and everything! I have to say though it's a bit confusing that rocks deal you damage when you have a drill in front. My first instinct was to try to drill through them!
Hey, this is pretty cool for 5 hours! I like what you did to make it harder as the game went on with more rocks showing up.
Agree with others that the drill makes it feel like you should be able to destroy rocks rather than them damaging you, haha. But I guess the idea is you're drilling through dirt and hitting rocks is bad because the drill can't handle them? In that case maybe it would be cool to show a little trail behind you so it looks like you're digging. :)
Not bad for 5 hours! The crash sound is especially good. I would have liked to see a little farther so I could plan a little bit instead of simply reacting to the next row of rocks as it becomes visible.
looks great for a five hours game, I think mine was barely working at the fifth hour! I'm not sure if it's because of the scale, but I can't see any life. I think it'd be cool having it somewhere to see how close are to lose the game
Great game for 5 hours of work. Well done! 👍 I would've placed the drill slightly higher up on the screen to give poor losers like me a bit longer to react to the incoming rocks. S
I can't imagine making a game in only five hours, so super mega props for tackling that challenge! I know you said nothing was as much your focus as sound, but I have to say I love the design of the miner, made me think of Motherlode, the old flash game on Miniclip. Man I loved that game. Thanks for the memories and well done!
@ltorrestailfer Yep, I design the miner base on my memory with Motherlode. Thank! @levidsmith I see that all people have the same problem with the drill, next time I will think outside the box (My max score was 103) @mighty-mufflon-games thank you! yes, the bgm is a little annoying but was the best possible choice of what I made

you are putting some heavy constraints on yourself! I like the ninininini of the music
I also did a going deeper and avoid obstacle but with a completly different twist
@rob-parker Yes I know the music isn't great, it was the first time when I tried to make sound, still need to work at this aspect
@hungryroy Yep, all the feedback I got from friends (after I submit the game was the same). My bad for that
design
@dhim Thank you, I will try your game as well as others in the play-rate time
@alexjdg I will try again and update if i see the problem, Thank you!

@chensu Thank you!

@crazymouse Yea, the UI was put on the run cause I needed to finish other things
@cogcomp Yes, next time I will playtest more (cause i played it for 3-4 times and didn't know how hard is after some time)
@generalsturgeon Thank, it was my first time making a parallaxing envirorment
@levidsmith I see that all people have the same problem with the drill, next time I will think outside the box (My max score was 103)
