Featuring an evolving song telling the story of our totally-not-a-bad-person protagonist.

The two of us started doing game jams a year ago with LD48, and it has been an amazing time since, so thank you Ludum Dare!
Yes, everything (including all the music) was made during the jam.
The web build seems to loop on the intro scene - the executioner says 'Good luck' then it goes right back to the start (unless I'm missing something?).
the web build seems to loop, which, in it's own way, is kindda quirky :P, do I need Godot to run the desktop version? :)
Edit: Now it's fixed and I've tried it, really fun :) I was originally a bit surprised that there's a song with lyrics playing over it, but it did tie in nicely with the game.
sadly it seems you did not put into your build or scenes or something like that :( very cool idea I had my laughs for the intro. But the gameplay as it is does not include your mine digging :(
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for bringing the loop issue to our attention. We were able to go back and resolve it so everything should be okay and playable now! We sincerely hope you take the time to try out our game now that it is working and rate it as well. We look forward to playing your games!
Tried it with the fix. That was incredibly interesting and all the parts of the game - the dialogues, the graphics and the music - all fit really well together. The mining song is morbidly catchy and reminds me of old worker songs, did you guys write it yourself?? Very impressive!
I have to echo the other comments on the song - it's very unique to hear lyrics in jam game's music and I think it works to great effect here. The mechanic of avoiding collecting the gems is novel and with the different challenges each working day brings really forces the player to think and come up with different strategies.
Lizard gamer brain says to go get all the sparklies so definitely had to double take and fight against that. An interesting take with impressive audio.
Really good twist on the theme! Don't make enough points, don't earn enough, don't go faster than you have to.
And I much repeat - that song was tha capitalist's bomb! It made me grin ear to ear and only kept on improving as it continued. It made me want to keep playing to hear more 😆 You need to win the audio category with this one.
I had to come back to replay this because the song stuck with me, and I managed to get the "fake death" ending (or so I assume... it was a little hard to tell if the Executioner held up his end, which feels intentional.)
At first glance this game seems simple, but it is harder than one would think. Especially considering the mild time pressure you have from the cart following you and the additional (always changing) consideration you need to make from the bonus quests. The song gives it the little extra on top of that.
Great game! The in-game mechanics are really well done. The additional task per day adds a lot to the gameplay, and the whole story is nicely presented. Also, the song is super cool! Awesome job!
fun game... but im really not sure if this shows was made to show your game skills or your rap skills. sick tunes thou. i beat it first try.and i put something a top my down arrow on second run and game beat itself xD! nice job.
