Loved this, easily one of the most fun games of the jam for me.
Gameplay took a bit to get the hang of but the frantic scanning of the board, deciding where to mine, and racing to beat the clock with the biggest haul was exciting. Some controls felt like they didn't work but I saw in the other comments you know about the issues with turbo. I also experienced something where A and B kept changing places in the controls. Like the game would be telling me to press A, I'd press Z and nothing happened. I pressed Z again, nothing happened. I pressed X and the game acted as if A was pressed but X is B. This swap happened to me a few times, seemed to only happen on the blocks where I had to alternate between A and B to mine.
Graphics were incredible, such fantastic art. The palette is perfection. I love the purple.
Soundtrack is full of bangers. I hung out on the title screen for a good long while just to bop along. I also really liked the crunchy voice fx.
Gameboy soul? Heck yes.
Quirkiness? Heeeeck yes.
Secondary theme interpretation: There is gold, it is old. Interpretation is on point in a creative way.
Great job, y'all!
