How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Dive deep into a dark and forgotten cave as a lonely dwarf only equipped with a dream and a bag full of trusty dynamite in hopes to discover rich old gold veins hidden beneath, and perhaps the motherload at its core

Part of the “motherload” likes for the jam, not a bad take on it, I do wish we could find dynamites on the playing field so it can be also a neat exploration one and not just a dig down game.

Graphics wise the pixel is okay, but the font and the particles do break the resolution rules both, one with aliasing and one with way to small of a “draw size” compared to everything else.

Sadly no music, but the sfx were okay, nothing too loud well done!

Overall a nice digger, well done!

Very addicting game loop. The explosion visuals gave me nostalgic memories about dynablaster/bomberman. 

Loved it!

Easy to pick up, but there’s still some thought in where you place the dynamite. A little bit of bomberman going on here!

I also like the idea of upgrading the explosions beyond just horizontal and vertical. Blasting through the cave with a bag of dynamite never gets old.

I see this game as a fun incremental game. I also see that you had plans to make the size bigger of the explosion not only the horizontal and vertical.

Giving a real ‘Motherload’ vibe, I love it. Simple to play, easy to understand, tricky to master placements. Real nice work on this, could see myself spending time playing something like this on a GB.

Great game, wouldnt mind if the damage from dynamite was a lil more punishing tho, but still nice experience

Thank you!! Maybe a difficulty setting that increases damage or something, wanted to add enemies too but ran out of time!
