Yeah, yet another mining game, like the dozens you have probably checked out on this LD already. Though, with some additions and some subtractions.
Addition 1: Color fill mechanics. You don't dig tile by tile, you grab entire connected same-color area.
Addition 2: Some incremental game mechanics in form of lots of buyable upgrades.
Minus graphics. It's all just squares, colors and some letters. But I still tried to combine squares, colors and letters in a neat way, so Graphics category stays.
You can use cheatcode "gibmoney" to get a lot of money, if you want to skip the grind and look how game looks with many upgrades.
Code is written from scratch during Compo in Typescript on top of the raw browser API. Compiled with esbuild. Color palette is mostly based on PIKO8 one. Font is called "Press Start".
