A lovely little game! I do wish the early progression could be a little quicker, or some more upgrades to look forward to. But great concept, good job!

I really liked the game’s concept! The music is really nice and catchy. I did miss having some sound effects and a HUD that shows how much money I currently have, but other than that, it was a really fun game!

Fun concept! I thought dodging those meddlesome NPCs was really funny and interesting.

Was fun to play. little annoyed by the beach guards because I can't interrupt my own digging and flee when I want to.

Hi!! Thanks for playing, I'm happy you had fun! In the main idea, you should be able to interrupt the digging by pressing K again. If that's not working, there must have been a bug in the latest version I uploaded. Sorry about that, I'll check it out!

Ok. I didn't notice that it was the same button

Definitely captured the Gameboy soul! Had fun playing this. I got the golden shovel and one backpack upgrade. Fun gameplay and good music! Nice work!

I can't really start the game, I'm just standing with the second guy and can't do anything

Hi! You need to press L to interact with the dialogue box and progress through the cutscene. The game controls are: A, W, S, D — movement K — dig L — interact with dialogue and the store

I understand, it just doesn't work for me

Oh, that's weird, sorry about that. I'm gonna check what happened. Thanks for trying to play! :)

This was a cute little game, those pesky beach security wouldn't leave me alone to my digging!

Haha, glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, screw those lifeguards!
