wow! i cannot say enough how FUN this is to play! the gameplay feels so fluid, I loved how you teased each biome before you could get to it, it really made me want to keep playing and unlocking more. Music themes were on point, and the SFX felt wonderful and perfectly satisfying. drill dash i <3 u

This game was so much fun! The digging felt so juicy especially when I got the drill dash. I can't believe you were able to make something so polished in such a short amount of time, complete with 3 unique biomes and themes too. The shop keeper's music was so cute too, the whole thing just felt very cohesive. Really impressive, awesome job!

What a great game!  The digging was really fluid and felt great, yet each of the upgrades made it better.  My only gripe is that I missed some treasure under some tiny rock somewhere and spent an inordinate amount of time searching for it.  Some kind of radar, or not requiring 100% of the treasures to unblock the next area, or something would have made that much more pleasant.  I managed to get them all in the end though, and the fun ramped back up after a couple upgrades.  The art was great, so much variety and motion!

The cover art was perfect and then the splash screen was perfect and then the title screen was perfect and then the whole game was perfect I don't even know how you had the time do do all of this its so cool and polished the art and music are amazing really really well presented and appealing no idea how the rocks shape so well to digging, also the general world and the designs of the characters and buildings were really cohesive and interesting and creative, reminded me of power sockets. The main gameplay is really really well done too, there's so much extra stuff there that the main mechanic of digging never gets old its really great, I especially like how the dash works, everything is a perfect balance of being modern and intuitive while still evoking the feeling of playing a GB game. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT

Love love love! The gameplay was fun especially as you upgraded and could dig in better ways. I absolutely love the palette swap and music change between the three levels! The characters were so cute and the art for the treasures (along with basically everything in this game) is phenomenal! You even made sure that the town area dirt resets if the player dug it all out (which I totally did)! The only recommendation I would have is  to add a mini map to see what areas you've dug out already and which you are missing. Overall, super amazing game! 5 stars all around!

A real nice experience. It had really quirky characters. 

I enjoy digging games so I enjoyed this one alot. The art feels so amazing and the dittering effect so clean. The game is very well balanced and polished, well done!

Everything was pretty awesome, some of the smaller treasures were pretty annoying but that was overall fine. The art, music, and sound design was nice and meshed well with each other. The TNT was annoying sometimes, it feels like theres not enough time to dodge if you hit it by accident. If it took a fraction of a second longer it would be fine. Aside from that its awesome

The Graphics and music are awesome and really well done. The only real issue I had was digging, my suggestion would be maybe some sort of mechanic where you can charge up the dig and blast away at a bunch at a time, at some sort of cost/risk. 
Either way, great entry!

The fantasy take on the gold rush era combined with the mixed npc-s, mouse, carrots, golems(?) gave the game its own cool vibe paired with the represetnation that was spot on.

Graphics wise the game look cool, the dithering and spritework is really well done.

Music and sound effects are way to loud sadly.

Digging was fun, maybe a tad too spammy with the buttons, but searching for treasure adds a little mystery to it.

Good idea, well executed!

A fine incremental game with a refined digging mechanic. Unlike a few other incremental games, it manages to keep the momentum by adding more mechanics the further you go down. It's a fun time with astonishingly ccurate graphics and a pretty good soundtrack! Congrats on the submission :)
