An unique and interesting interpretation of the theme. The game is simple enough and the gameplay is easy to understand.

The game is easy to understand and the theme was very nicely implemented.

This is so easy to understand and play - I really enjoyed it. This is a game i can easily sink a while in. Love the the way that you try to manage the which one to go down, and figuring out where you should be positioned. Good job!!

Very satisfying when waiting for the pickaxe to charge pays off, especially when narrowly escaping death. To make the game fairer, it probably shouldn't be possible for the same column to be selected three times in a row.

Cool game! Enjoyed the risk of not pushing columns to gain the ability to use the pickaxe

A highly creative boutique game that requires time to master the skills

So interesting idea!

This is so creativity and being in the caves with the grid-based environment brings me back to Spelunky and digging down with the pickaxe

Simple but nails the theme, nice work!

It's a cool idea but I found it really difficult. Maybe I'm just bad and will need to come back for some practice XD

Really fun game, I can see myself coming back to this one again and again.

I really enjoyed the sound of the blocks hitting and counting down; it was truly amazing.

Its a nice game, have a great mechanic but a bit challenging, the controls are difficult to understand and the axe hard to use, but in general is a good game.

Figuring out the strategy was interesting. Definitely got bamboozled by rng as I got pretty low but was fun regardless
