Unearther is a weird little puzzle game similar to Boulder Dash and Digger. It features primitive but pretty graphics, eerie minimalistic music that still somehow took me an hour to make, and only the best mouth-based sound effects!

Control the Unearther with W, A, S, D. Undo moves with Z, restart the level with R, enter level select screen with Escape. Open custom level editor by pressing [shift-L].

Tools I used to make this:
- Engine: web browser
- Graphics library: Three.js
- Music: Logic Pro X
- Sound: Audacity
- IDE: Geany

If this runs slow: try out the low graphics option and let me know if that helped. The game does require 3D acceleration and a recent web browser. I'll make a downloadable package eventually, but for now please use your browser.

Regrets: not enough levels, time ran out, you know how it is :)

Post-LD Changes / Bugfixes
- fixed a bug that caused goblin walking direction to reset after undo
- impassable tiles are now easier to see in the dark
- fixed weird behavior when you reach the exit and die at the same time
- included custom "level editor", invoke by pressing [shift-L]
- fixed a bug that caused the player state to freeze after dying

PLEASE leave a comment if you rate, feedback is more important to me than anything else, whether positive or negative!
