Game Instructions:

Click on one of the highlighted tiles to proceed to the next level (layer). Tiles highlighted in green represent valid moves while those in red are invalid.

Numbers shown on each tile are information about tiles beneath that grid. They indicate the no. of layers before reaching a non-dirt tile, numbers for stone tiles, that could block your path, are coloured in grey, and those for diamond tiles, that reward higher scores, are gold in colour.

As an example, a tile with a grey "1" on it means that it will become a stone tile after one more move. Therefore, part of your path will be blocked if you selected a tile right next to it.

To reach diamond tiles, you need to be right beside them when the numbers reach zero, and you can't move to a tile with a gold "1" on it, i.e. on top of the diamonds.

Empty grids with no numbers mean that the following nine tiles are all dirt tiles.

Did u implement the number mechanic or did it miss? Because i could not figure out what they mean, i think i see what you intended tho - to bad... In its current state its fine to play, still a little bit challenging, overall a few good minutes :slight_smile:

That is an interesting take on the idea! I haven't played it enough to find out the best optimum strategy, but this is a simple case of: simple to learn, hard to master!

The visuals are cute btw, good job!

The 2D pixel art isometric style of your game looks pretty good and fits the gameplay pretty well because of your digging mechanic. Speaking of it, it is a little bit complicated to understand at first and i mostly chose randomly my next tile in the beginning, but then i started understanding more this innovative depth mechanic and it felt really nice to play.

If i have a suggestion, it would be to include an in-game tutorial on how to play the game, because it is a bit complicated to understand only by reading the text. So... great game

Cool game! Didn't understand the point, but I thought it was like minesweepers. I used to play that game for hours. I think having more ways to score, and more paths besides the single path. Maybe a tutorial would help make the learning curve a little lower.

Cool game! At first I thought it would be like Minesweeper, only on multiple layers where you have to go deeper and deeper. So I needed a moment to get why the mechanics were not as I expected. But then I had some fun with the game! The mechanics work great and I have not seen them anywhere before like this. With some sound and maybe some different minerals to find, this could be a nice mini game post jam! :slight_smile:
