The planet is on fire! Dig Deeper and Deeper to escape the heat, and don't forget to eat rocks along the way!

Controls: Left Mouse Button

Objective: Eat rocks to grow bigger and escape the heat.

This was built using HTML5 Canvas and Javascript completely from the ground up without any external libraries or tools. I used Paint.NET for the art and VS Code for the programming.

I unfortunately didn't have time to add audio or any more interesting game mechanics because I spent a good chunk of Saturday implementing and optimizing a complex system for generating rocks infinitely that remain persistent. I realized afterwards that completely randomly generated rocks would have given the same result since you're generally not going back to the same areas. Oh well, I still had fun building it. Here's an example:

Changes:
v1.01 - Increased the win condition a bit as the original would cause the game to end abruptly just as it's getting to the fun part.
