Super polished and very fun to play!

Really enjoyed this one. Great pixel art and the calm music and the digging sound effects made for a very relaxing experience. I also enjoyed the bad ending of my house getting repossessed by getting blasted into the sky, haha. I think the only complaint I have is I wish I could've dug more since digging and collecting treasure was satisfying. Would love to see an expanded version of this. Nice job!

Classic formula, but greatly executed. Had a lot of fun with it. Awesome job!

this was so relaxing and addicting at the same time! honestly the best game I played in this years game jam! 

Super simple but insanely engaging! Can’t wait to see what you add in future updates. I need an endless digging mode, I could dig this all day :3

To be honest that's my personal favorite from the jam. Amazing game.

Cool that you added the dog there :)

this was relaxing, but so immersive! i got so focused on digging a giant hole i forgot about having to repay the debt. the house blasting away when i lost was unexpected and got a laugh out of me. 

fun game with classic mining a tile mechanics. unfortunately on the last day I noclipped through the right side of the screen and couldn't tnt the chamber.

Nice game to play, I didn't realize how good the dynamite was until my second run. I liked the ending :)

Really fun concept, loved playing this one.

Honestly i feel like i could play this one for hours, like this activates the primal part of my brain to dig holes and collect shinies. Honestly though, really good game, and amazing you got this done in the time allocated, it feels very polished

great game !

This one was very fun to play. I've got nothing else to add really, just felt great to dig around and hunt for treasure!

Really impressive work. I think it's great how many small touches you nailed like the light surrounding you so you can only see so far in the cave, the generation of the cave, the little map on the right, etc. It all comes together as a complete project.

Man, this has got to be the most fun game I've played on the GMTK2026 yet. It's a good concept, it's well executed, it's funny, it's somewhat replayable, it feels feature complete, it's absolutely great. Maybe the jam theme could be established with a little more depth, no pun intended, but the game is very nice as it is.

I believe the controls could be a little bit improved with having separate keys for each of the active items, or at least some commands to change item selection would be useful.

There is a conceptual problem with the TNT--it's cheaper than the picks, it destroys multiple blocs at the same time, it costs one dig to use, and it collects the money regardless. It's absolutely the best item in the game by far, and I managed to pay the whole debt in one day using the TNT alone once I unlocked it.

There were two issues I encountered. One was with the ladder, in a specific column of the world, which creates a ladder visually all the way to the top, past diggable terrain, rather than only in open space. This happened in multiple playthroughs (starting from scratch). The other issue was that, when I got to the end of the world, the game slowed down to a crawl that made it difficult to continue, but thankfully I was almost out of digs and managed to end the game at that point.

I also missed some kind of narrative for the end game, but the cinematic was enjoyable as well.

I would definitely be interested in seeing an upgraded version of this game after the jam, with more features, procedural terrain generation or randomization, and other challenges to overcome.

It was a truly interesting experience, congratulations for the work you made. Good luck in the jam!

Great job on your submission! I really liked the pixel art and the overall visual style of the game.

I was also impressed by the map and the interface. Creating a good map and a polished UI is not easy, and you did a great job with both. The game feels very well made, and I really enjoyed playing it.

Congratulations on your work!

I love this game. The gameplay was really fun, the art is beautiful. I like how things light up when you get close to them. The TNT is way too op, I would make it so it costs a few more digging, also a light upgrade that makes it so you see thing further would also be great. Besides that the game is awesome, I really enjoyed playing it.

That was fun, solid core loop with lots of polish in every piece. I found the minimap of the mine addicting to watch as it grew while I dug out the mine.

A wow game! You guys make a great team :D The game is very addicting and satisfying. I went to a area with a lot of loot :D I want to be vague cause I don't want to spoil it for other people. But is it possible to win the game without that area :D

The music is a delight and the pixel art is stunning. The sounds are very "Soft" on the ear. Its nice to listen to. I don't know how to explain it. The sounds are a nice dull sound XD

The colour palette is peak and everything is really well polished :0

I don't really suggestions, the game is near perfect, but I'm going to give you one anyway. XD

It happened a few times that I use a dig on something that I didn't want to. Like I accidently dug a block :D

that's about it.

Thank you for making this.

You and your team should be proud of yourselves :)

Oooo yhea. The ending is pretty funny XD Wasn't expecting that at all :)

That is such a delight to play this game. You instantly understand what you're supposed to do. The gameplay works really well, very fluid and practical. Of course I bought the doggie first but for the rest I have to stay I have no idea how to reach the total of the debt. The best I did was like 5000$ but couldn't get higher, especially with the price of the shovels... I'm gonna try again to see if I'm missing something!
