Gameplay and art were very well done! I have fun digging! I personally felt that the beginning couple of levels were a tad too slow but that could just be me! Good work!

How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Nothing fancy, the scene is set in a prehistoric-ish context (Old)
And you play as a caveman looking for the gold skeleton of a legendary Dinosaur (Gold)

Saloon in a Golden DesertI really really liked this game the digging was so fun especially when I got to max level and the ground melted like butter. It also reminded me of a game I used to paly on coolmathgames which was also really fun. That art and music were also really nice. The music really fit the vibe of the game.

golden hallsFantastic game! I was worried at first that the mining would always be that slow so I was very excited once it picked up speed. You nailed the progression and the style is fantastic. We both made mining games - seems to be a common theme this year

Miner TroublesGreat bite sized game! Everything is super satisfying and well-thought-out, and the upgrades were appropriately zany and useful. Very charming and great entry to the Jam!

Fool's Gold: A Jester's QuestThis man has recreated DK Bananza in GB Studio. And they say art is dead.

Edgar AethelingVery fun short game, it becomes quite satisfying towards the end too. The art looked great as well. Great work

The Legend of the old golden coinI really enjoyed the art (both pixel art and 2d cover!). The gameplay was smooth and as you progress, things ramp up. I used to want to be an archeologist and I can see so much potential with this game for learning ha.

One Last DigThe flying and gliding feel so good, and I liked how it ramps up until stuff is breaking everywhere. Great one

Kota ChompA really interesting game that requires patience and determination. Congratulations! Here's my game.

Midas HousekeepingVery good game! The progression feels really well done considering it was worked on in such a short amount of time. I think the chicken dancing on top of the dinosaur skull at the end is really cute. Maybe I’d add an introductory cutscene or a title screen, but other than that, great job!
