I like this game and it has a lot of potential, a story mode could be added to make everything even more interesting. Overall I liked it and I found it quite relaxing.

A solid game with charming art.
The controls are responsive. but the tutorial is a bit lacking and improving it would make the game even better.
Great job!

Very fun game! Took me a while to understand the controls but I think I could play for a few hours without being bored! And the graphics are very cute.
Congrats :)

Simple but addicting little game! Feels like a clicker-type of game in terms of the satisfaction of seeing numbers go up, but with the added strategic element of drilling/dropping down in the right places to get to platforms. Great pixel art, again very simple yet clearly communicative. Excellent job!

I was kinda confused at the beginning but I fast understood controls and goal. I think I could easily spend 20-30 minutes playing it, also minimalistic graphics and audio fits well. Nice game!

Ambitious approach! I like it. You are probably a fan of Binding of Isaac right?

The rules of the game weren't immediately obvious to me (Took me a bit to realize I could drop on the enemies to kill them). A bit unclear on which enemies I could or couldn't kill though, some would hurt me while others would die.

Still a fun game though and a neat concept. Would love to see it taken further

Nice gameplay loop! Not my genre, but I can see its strengths (and scored it accordingly!).

One bit of feedback: The "portal doors" are a little hard to see, and I missed them pretty frequently.

Good work, I enjoyed the variety of enemies, ores, layouts etc! Impressive stuff for the short time frame, I agree that some of the gameplay like which enemies are possible to kill and how the shop works could be clearer, but overall a nice entry! I liked the upgrade system especially.

Nice idea. But you should think how to add more fun.

Nice game. It felt a little slow, I would like more action. But it's nice
