How does the game fit the theme?
Player has to go down further to gather more coins, this also means it gets harder to get back up to the ground.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

It a really good idea! make me think of the dome keeper! a little more polish can would be good!
Good game for a jam !! Would love to see more upgrade and things to dig !
I enjoyed the game and the upgrades. one piece of feedback i would give is away for the player to know how much oxygen is needed to get back to the surface.
I can't get it to the bottom, heck, I can't even get past the first 4-5 layers. I understand the mechanic you implemented, but you give me something to dig, and I keep going and forget the rest, so I die. But solid game, really, nice graphics, someday I will create some digging related game, though not sure I'll be able to finish it as I will be digging forever as soon as that works. :) :D
I hit rock bottom in my dwarf life, but there was still no escape. I worked for months, yet no pay was coming my way. I had to quit that job. This would be the strongest entry for the theme "Greed" if the jam had a secret theme. My dumb ass kept dying on the third level over and over, even though I had hundreds of coins. I really dig that you can move very fast without cooldowns, allows for fast gameplay. Oh, by the way, you might want to check out Cookie Caverns, it has similar mining gameplay.
I was really confused when I started as I was able to "mine" above ground and kept dying. Once I figured it out I felt dumb, love the game. Reminds me a bit of Dome Keeper, scratches a certain itch for the mines. Fantastic job!
I yearned for the mines! Fun game, I tried following the divers rule of thirds for the oxygen and it worked relatively well for me.
Finally reached the bottom on day 15. I do like how you need to balance your oxygen and how far you go down, although this can be countered by really counting out loud how many steps you need to go back, greed always gets in the way. The graphics are decent, though I think the shop needs a bit more work as it's busy and messy in its current state. The game would also benefit from some background music too.
Anyway, I think this is quite a solid entry. Keep up the good work!

A really cool idea and very easy to play once you get used to it. Although I quickly failed at the beginning because I wasn't given enough time to take in what was going on, I still had tons of fun! More potential upgrades, a tutorial and an ost would really tie everything together and make this a real gem!! A really solid game overall :)
Really fun idea. Very easy to understand and play. Only thing missing was some music but everything else was appropriately scoped end executed . Great job!
great game
This game is really fun. I spent a lot of time on it. The mining experience feels great, and the game's atmosphere is top-notch. It's such a pity that there are too few upgrade options, and I couldn't find more ores below. I really hope there will be more content to play. It would be perfect if there were some additional things in the mines
Great game. Really fun game loop with simple but satisfying mechanics
This was such a good game. The gameplay was really fun and easy to follow, the difficulty provided a good challenge and the sound effects were very satifying
The game is really addicting, I spend quite long just excavating the surface and building long tunnels. I also really like the detail of the green slime getting bigger each day. Great job!
It is a good game and a challenging too.. It is also hard to understand controls but once you understand it a fun game
Extremely fun game, really impressive on how the game can get addicting to play quick. A simple system that can easily keep betraying you as time goes on. Awesome game, congrats!
Really cool application of the theme and pretty fun!
Congrats!
Really cool entry! Played it for quite some time :)
