"It's so nice to have a form of digging that feels like attacking the earth itself!"
This entry has been polished to a mirror shine! 💚 It's been a long time since I've had this much fun digging around for stuff. The characters are quite charming, the music is driving and perilous, and the sounds are perfectly crunchy.
One small nitpick: the audio is mixed a tiny bit loud. While it stays within reason near the beginning, it gets a bit too loud once all upgrades are in play; the audio consistently peaks above +0.0 dB with everything going on at once.
All-in-all, fantastic! Great work!
