The ascetic of the game is impeccable. The pixel art is on point, but the game play is a bit lacking. It's a really cool idea, but I feel that it is a bit easy. You have so much battery that if you drill in a single column you could probably make it out in one cycle. I think that it could have had some kind of hazard like having to spend time reenforcing your tunnel to avoid cave ins could help.

EDIT: Never mind the game appears to make exits appear based on the amount of tiles cleared rather than a distance from entrance system.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah... maybe the game is a bit too easy. During our early playtests it felt a little too difficult, so I decided it was better to keep it more accessible overall rather than making it overly challenging.

And yes, you're absolutely right!! every tile you remove increases the chance of an exit appearing. I tested several different probability curves, and in most cases the exit would show up around the 30th tile. That said, it's true that with a lot of luck it can appear much earlier...

Thanks again, we really appreciate your feedback!! <3

Really nice and small game, it was quite enjoyable! I really liked the art and the cut scenes as well as the audio!

Though to be honest I felt that the game didn't really had any challenge maybe some obstacles like spikes or cave creatures to avoid could have been good additions. Also I didn't fully understand what I was meant to do, and I felt that I didn't really have a direction to dig towards too, or to go! I was also a little unsure of why I should spin the wheel, while I didn't understand that the boss would come after you if you abandon it for long enough, I personally never got to that point.

Overall though, I have to say it was a really good game. I can see that a lot of work and effort was put towards it! Great Job!

Thanks so much for the feedback! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the game :D and we truly appreciate you pointing out the things that didn't quite feel like they fit the gameplay as well ^o^ We'll definitely keep your comments in mind! <3

That determined expression while they're looking for the exit! This game actually felt like it was a serious mission with serious potential consequences, while still being cute and fun. I do feel like you should run out of energy a bit sooner, I deliberately tried to lose on the second playthrough and it felt like it took a really long time for the lights to flicker. That said, overall I really enjoyed it!

Very cute, love the vibe. The mechanics are cool, alternating keys to make things spin. I just don't get what I'm supposed to do with the drilling. Do I have to drill the whole thing?

Thank u <3

Pretty cute! I like the concept and love the visuals. The digging felt disconnected to the energy storage, and it didn't really seem like I was going to run out of energy after charging up the battery. Maybe the lights in the tunnel could dim as the energy ran out.

Submitted

DekotaleDeveloper67 days ago(+1)

Thanks! And actually, yes, the lights flicker when the power is about to run out~ We didn't want to dim them since we were limited to a very specific color palette, so we opted for flickering instead.

I didn't really care for the gameplay... it was kind of button mashy and I didn't get a good feel for where the challenge was. Is it even possible to lose? The concept was really cute though, and the presentation held up really well.

A game about an animal-like creature digging for the theme 'Spin to Win'? Who would do such a thing???

Seriously the art is so cool, I like the colour palette so so much. The rotation being WASD for resetting the drill was interesting, I never thought about representing rotation that way. Interesting!

At first I gave it a lower score, but changed later to 5/5 due to my son wanting to return and play this game over and over! Guess you did something right, haha :)

Really simple game but extremely cute art and animation! I could definitely see potential to build this even further, but even as it is it's a solid game and great entry.

Such adorable artwork! The colour palette is a lovely choice too. I'm a big pixel art enjoyer so this was a treat. The game was a delightful little adventure with a cute concept. The end screen is fantastic. Nice work <3
