Cute and fun! The gameplay reminded me of Steamworld: Dig. I liked how chill it was, there aren't any enemies, you only have your action economy to deal with. The TNT and the ladders are extremely OP though, especially when you get unlimited of them! The very round after I got the TNT, I managed to get to the bottom of the world and win the game, it's just way too good to blow up like 10 tiles at once with a single move. If you had X amount of TNT that refreshed each day I think that would make it more balanced. That being said, balance isn't always good! Sometimes it's just fun to win crazily, and I certainly had fun doing that in this game. So thank you for making it, great entry!

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed :)
Yes, the TNT and the ladders are utterly broken! Those item mechanics went in towards the end while we were doing the world design and we just didn't have a chance to fully balance them with real play testing. I think for the scope of the game jam it's sort of okay that you end up easily demolishing the world, since it's kinda fun to just blow it all up anyway. In a more fully fleshed out version of the game we would absolutely balance it a little better.
