The level design is so well done! I like that the order of operations really matters and you have to use everything around you. The art and music also give it a cool aesthetic although the miner's little laugh is kinda creepy. Super fun to play!

Great puzzle game with well thought mechanics. Definitely too short. I would love to see more complicated stages with more mechanics (enemies? collapsing passages? dynamite?).

Cool game ! As said above it's really well thought out that you need to pay attention how you approach the level and in which order. There is a infinite pool of new mechanics you could add as well which is perfect ! Top job

Overall very nice! :smile: The art and the levels were pretty nice :smile: The mechanics were also good but the character movement and the falling rocks could be a little improved as I had some trouble jumping on some rocks :disappointed:. However nothing major that didn't allow me to enjoy the game :wink: well done! :smile:

The low-poly style was fun and looked great. I like how you worked in a short tutorial in the first two screens of play rather than just describing how to play in words. The music was minimal but fit well with the game and definitely added something. Puzzle games take a lot of thought to put together. Great work!

The levels are well thought out and fun to work through, some more mechanics would have made it really awesome though. Overall still really cool!

Really liked the concept and levels were fun! Music fits the mood well and game looks nice and consistent! The only downside I would say is that the physics is a bit floaty and unreliable for a puzzle game: got myself or the cart stuck multiple times. Lots of potential in this game idea!

@omid-ghavami You are totally right with the physics, I did not have much time to make it work smoother and I feel like it's bad if you can't finish a level because of mechanic skill instead of puzzle solving. I'm glad you liked it

Solid concept, nice art. But like others said the physics were a bit too wonky. Made it to the end. though. Nice entry!

Very fun puzzle game! I really enjoyed the pickaxe throwing to dislodge rocks mechanic. Great job!

Well made and levels are interesting. It's kind of a basic take on the theme tho, but it does work.

It was fun but I think it'd be nice if you could pull the cart so it didn't get stuck against walls.

Very good level design, I enjoyed it. however the controls of the characters wasn't really smooth. But it's a nice game overall. Well done!

The character's animations are a little off (e.g. directions) but other than that it's good.

I like the visual style. It is simple but enjoyable. Good puzzles & level design. The only thing, a couple of times I got stuck in textures and behind stones - not very pleasant, but this did not spoil the impression.

Too hard to control and that is a shame because I really like the atmosphere. Good graphics!

i liked the low poly art. i was having some issues with the controls and the collisions.

Very cute game. The concept is actually really clever, albeit simple. I think the execution needed a little work. The physics, mainly, seem to be wonky - there are times the rocks will fall on my character, but don't become kinematic, and I can jump into them from below and they move around and stuff. The character's walking animations sometimes are weird, and overall the game is a little buggy.

HOWEVER - despite the lack of polish in the mechanics department, the graphics are really cute, and I love thinking about how my guy is a little greedy miner who needs every last ounce of gold, lol! The levels are well designed too.

Its a solid entry. Needed probably a couple more hours of tuning gameplay and working out some physics issues.

Really cool puzzle and awesome assets and level design! Really loved playing through, although I was stuck a few times :D

The physics feel a bit wonky sometimes, but nothing too serious :D
