Descend into the earth and mine gold! But be careful, there's bats and slimes that don't want you there!
Controls : WASD to Move, E to Interact, use Mouse to Aim, LMB to Attack/Mine, RMB to throw a bomb.
The terrain is destructible, Find the hole to go deeper to the next floor. They're procedurally generated so will be different each time. You can also walk over lava but you'll take a little damage. If you lose all your hearts the game will restart.
Sadly there's not really an end to the game and it lacks some progression / more enemies as I ran out of time, but enjoy mining anyway! There's occasionally a shop with a few upgrades (I recommend getting the pickaxe speed one first!) as well as a statue that provides a bit of healing (at a cost of 100 gold).
Everything was made during the jam except for a few models & animations (Bat, Slime and character in statue) and a script for applying the level transition to the screen. Made with Unity, Universal RP.
This breakable terrain feels so good to destroy, but I wish moving was more responsive because player sometimes move even though you're not pressing anything. Also fighting could be a bit more interesting (maybe add some boss fights after reaching certain "floor"). Even though it was rather simple I enjoyed it!
Digging was really satisfying. Being careful of lava and the bats also resulted into a nice game mechanics. I know time is the issue here, still a story and some levels will make it more interesting overall.
Great job on the destruction/mining mechanic! Impressive! I found the game punitiv and a bit unbalanced (items in shop are too much expensive) 😭 It lacks of a little ambient music.
It could be a good rogue-lite game (some kind of Spelunky maybe?) Congrats of the final result!
The breakable terrain is oddly satisfying et its simplicity made me loose track of the time for a bit. A change of color when the character take damage would have helped a little bit, but it remains a really cool game considering the time limit ! Thanks for your work !
The "smoothness" of the terrain destruction is very pleasant, moving around and digging around is fun by itself. The combat system could have needed more polish. It's simple but fun, good work:)
Neat ! I take that this is procedurally generated, good work ! Lacks some sound, and a bit unbalanced (super expensive items and health goes away fast) but I really liked wandering around !
The bats were so cute! I didn't understand that going down the hole actually brought up a new level 😂 I spent a lot of time excavating everything to upgrade my boots haha 😄 At first I thought the enemy blobs were my companions because they were the same colour as me, maybe a different colour or shape would have helped there.
The items are fairly expensive so need a bit of grinding to get enough gold, I'd recommend getting at least 1 Pickaxe Speed upgrade first as that helps a ton! Can keep falling through levels until you reach a shop including it. In the future I'll definitely look at balancing it better, but glad everyone is enjoying the breakable terrain!
The gold sticking from the walls was really neat, and digging it out was really really satisfying! I could easily imagine this being taken further, with gemstones and whatnot. Good work!
I really liked this game! Digging through the walls was super satisfying! I would have liked some more feedback when getting hit by the enemies - sometimes I was dying when I didn't realize it. Some additional things to find would be cool too.

It has good graphics and it's so satisfying to mine around.
Maybe add some sound when you take damage, at first a was playing with the bats and I noticed I was half HP 😄.
I had fun so Good job.
If you balance that, game will be pretty nice!
Good work!
