I was so relieved to see that you could still finish digging everything after finding all the doodads!

Honestly this game found a way to scratch the satisfaction itch in my head, and I love it.

The music did not get grating despite me playing for quite a long time, so well done there as well!

I only found one golden doodad so I didn't get to prove my wife wrong but now that I see there's secret endings I may have to go and try again! Nice quirky interpretation of the theme!

Genuinely this game made me laugh so many times! This game was so much fun to play through, and then I just kept calling my wife. I could hear the long suffering sighs in every line of dialogue hahaha

Thanks for playing, and for reaching the post-game content! I appreciate it.

The absolute gaul to hide not just one but two secrets in the postgame is insane. Very addictive and highly polished gameplay loop with a funny story. I'm not kidding i kept in digging for 10 min to check if there's a third secret hidden somewhere after i found the first two, wouldn't have put it past you. Amazing!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I figured some sickos would feel compelled to dig every hole, so I had to put something in as a response to that.

Out of the games I played so far, this is the one I enjoyed the most! The progression feels rewarding and the upgrades scale nicely. Only things that I'd have done differently would be the vacuum as a passive and maybe another soundtrack. Otherwise very addicting, I even thought about going 100% even after getting all parts

Old man dig like crazy. Very addicting. Those upgrades were nice to play with, I think some of them would be better if they were passive upgrades, like compass, and coin magnet.

tbh the first stages of the game are a SLOG to get through, its not even funny. But as you upgrade it becomes more fun! Great game.

Developer

That's valid- I tried to make the upgrades feel extra rewarding in comparison to your initial capabilities!

It's a great game! SFX are great, Art is pretty, no bugs found, awesome work! Run diagonal is a little bit cheaty while you drin the juice

Good fun, quite simple grinder! It doesn't exactly renovates itself the longer you play, which makes it a little boring towards the end states. 
The humor is pretty funny and it's a game that emulates really well the gameboy feeling in my opinion, the SFX is satisfying and it's a blast to play through during the first few minutes :)
Overall, a quite solid game!
