Challenging!! I love the art, ui and sfx and its satisfying to carve out the fossils! 

Developer

Thank you! Can I ask what your high score is?

Submitted(+2)

Great job! you guys made me realize that i suck at cleaning fossils, hahaha the game is really fun and a cool concept , i think i dindt see something like this in 2d mmm...  The only thing i think MAYBE could be improved is the noise in the pixel art, i saw a lot of noise and jaggies but maybe is in purpouse so... great job! also i enjoyed the music a lot!

Again the not necessary bad things are a few and this little game is big! i see the work in the UI, the music and the pixels, amazing entry guys!

Goty

This was well polished beyond belief. The art, music, concept and just everything about this game stands out. This reminds me of ASMR with all the scrapping sounds if someone likes that lol. Good job you two! and I wish you luck. image.png

Developer(+2)

Thank you! Do you know that you're supposed to carve around the fossils though? Not sure if that's clear enough.

Submitted(+2)

LOL NOPE! I kinda was just going ham on breaking the entire thing lmao. I don’t really understand the scoring system Ig and the controls are a bit hard tbh

Developer

Alright, thanks for letting me know!

Developer

This is my favorite comment so far!

Thanks for the complement and for liking my sound design so much that you have the lowest score I have seen yet!
