This was a fun game! Quick and simple, but overall polished. It's a pleasant twist on Dig-Dug. Great job!
It's really fun to mine the gold in the most optimal way! I didn't feel like speed changed anything and also I think that clearing dept is bugged because it doesn't take any money from you
Nice simple little game, it looks nice and feels nice. Very simple but that's not a bad thing, especially for the gameboy theme. I thought the gameplay loop of optimizing your energy usage so you don't get too much debt while still maximizing your gold was rather interesting, even though the debt didn't really seem to matter. I also found out near the end, that you can dig diagonally! Not sure if that was intentional but it was really cool to discover
I'm glad you liked it! And yes, the diagonal digging was intentional :)
It feels exactly like a game boy game with great faithfulness and fun gameplay!
Very nice gameboy feel to the game! One small thing would be to make it so I could buy multiple things from the shop without having to reopen the menu. Loved the graphics, the fit the vibe perfectly! Great work!
It took me a second to get used to the controls but once I got into the flow of it I had a blast! The mechanic of upgrading to keep up with your debt but also taking away your money added a nice challenge to it. It always feels like you are SO close to catching up but you are just a tiny bit behind. I don't have anything negative to say.
