⚠This is a local two player game! You need a buddy to play. Also, its sort of a proof of concept more than a properly balanced game... there's a good chance you'll end up in a stalemate! 😅⚠

Two miners play the premier underground sport with their worm friend.

Controls:
Player 1 - A S D
Player 2 - ⬅⬇➡

How to play:
- Dig and move with the control keys.
- Get diamonds and gems to dig and move faster
- If the worm is on your side of the pit, dig it out to send him over to your opponent.
- Game ends when someone's timer runs out!

Hints and tidbits:
- Get more treasure after meter is full to send tough rock to you opponent and get more time.
- More tough rock appears the further down you go.
- The timing of when the worm is sent is important!
- I messed up the color coding in some places... ​Player 1 is on the left, and Player 2 is on the right.

Wow! What a LudumDare. I started off making a 'sequel entry' to a previous LudumDare entry, but worried that I wouldn't be able to finish in time. So, after around a day had past, I decided to start over with something smaller scale! While I do want to eventually finish what I had for the 'sequel entry,' I think it was the right decision to start over- even if this game is a little unpolished, especially audio-wise. Sorry for no single player mode or AI! I was in quite the rush.
