Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I really wish either the enemies didn't move in real time, or there was a button dedicated to digging. it was a little annoying to try and move quickly past a bird and accidently pick up a block of dirt that then made it difficult to progress. A couple times I hit cases where there was one block of dirt in the way but I was already carrying a shovelful from a block that I didn't mean to pickup.

The animations and art style are really great. I really liked the chunky walk animation.

Awesome gamefeel ! The game looks awesome and controls well (even on an azerty keyboard). I sometimes wished I could drop dirt, it wasn't really a blocking mechanic but when you're trying to plan your next moves it was a bit frustrating.

Still an awesome game nonetheless. Congratulations !
