You are a miner in a cave, your ghost friend, called Dou,
is here to help you because you still don't know how to use a pickaxe.
Little did you know, the mine you went to is highly unstable. The more gold you take,
The higher chance it will collapse on you. Will you risk taking more gold?, or will you
play it safe and go back with only a little bit?

This was enjoyable, and at first I was just getting gold and leaving, seemed a little pointless. Then I pushed it and mined until the cave collapsed. It was a satisfying death.

Dou is my my favorite. Dou is perfect. I like the art and game design, I think it is really well executed and on theme. I also love the death graphics. Audio is straightforward, but works perfectly with the game.

Cute little game. The tutorial felt really long to sit through, which was a little frustrating. Was pretty scary when the cave started rumbling!

This was fun, good art, good movement and controls, one pet peeve is the amount of time it took to just read the controls, but otherwise it was fun and very atmospheric! gj!

Agree with the slow tutorial, should be a bit faster, the art seems to be pretty smoth tho. I think it should have more edges and formats for the rocks and golds just so the level design could be more interesting too.

Cute game! Love the little ghost character with the bungee pick axe! Keep up the great work!

I managed to get 50 as my high score, I think that's greedy enough :)

Interesting concept. Yet, there's something with the music... Cool ghost idea and fun animation! Didn't quite catch balance on collecting gold (is there some absolute winning pattern, or just collect and slowly get closer to the cart?).

Right now, it's a cute minigame. One way I could see you taking this might be to use gold to buy upgrades, with the aim being to earn as much net profit as possible.

Good mini game. I thought the graphics-audio were quite all right for a Jam submission: the biggest improvement i coudl see is with gameplay mechanic -- somehow make the collection of gold vs. collapsion logic a bit more difficult (like with accumulation and also cool-down periods would have gone a long way in making the engagement more interesting). Anyway, congratulations for finishing and submission!
