Intersting game! The "hover" mechanic was a cool twist, and allows you to dig very fast with proper timing ^^. Well done!

How does your game fit the theme?
Using a drill, we go deeper and deeper into the ground.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I created all the dots myself and used ChatGPT and the tutorial as a guide for the code.
BGM was created by my friend.

Very fun game and very challenging! :'D Others have already made the comments about the screen, but well, stuff happens during game jams so. I just zoomed in :) I do agree that the difficulty level was too high for me. Other than that I loved the pixel style, and the audio!
I liked this a lot, and I understand why the screen is small with you aiming for an old gameboy game aesthetic. The graphics are nice, the gameplay is fun, it's tuned well as I had to pay attention to energy and it took me just enough time to figure out the controls where I wasn't annoyed but had a fair learning curve. As an audio guy, I'll say the music was great, and the sound effects were okay, but needed variation and rate limiting. For instance, if you dig yourself down and bounce off the walls really fast the audio gets a little too hard on the ears. Outside a few small things, great job!
All ya gotta do is dig!
Things I enjoyed ✔️
- The pixel art style is amazing! Especially with the 8-bit audio you chose to work with!
- The game is very fun, and kept me going!
- The simplistic mechanics of the game make it easy to learn!
Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷♂️
- Maybe just have varied break sound effects, just so that it doesn't feel repetitive with the same sound.
- Maybe decrease the amount of skulls that spawn, because I died often to them because there were too many!
Overall 📓
I had fun playing your game! Great job on this one! Cant wait to see what you have next in store! Because their was something very satisfying about breaking all those blocks and going deeper!
I loved the simple approach to the game. I think some of the audio bits were a little loud, but overall I enjoyed the sound and the gameboy style. Great job!
Fun game! Something for controlling the audio would have been nice, but overall a great simple game!
It felt like an old Gameboy game, but it did make the screen too small. Overall great submission!
