DigQuick by Cezel_

[raw]
made by Cezel_ for LD29 (COMPO)
The theme this time was as beneath the surface, so I made a very literal interpretation of that and made a game about digging... The main objective is to dig down to the goal on each level within 15 seconds. You can buy and equip yourself with different tools that will make it easier for you to dig.

This is my second time entering the ludum dare compo and that made me a bit more confident than last time, that wasn't all positive since last time I finished during the first 16 hours but this time I had more things to do and long story short I didn't have time to finish everything (for example audio and fancier graphics would have been nice). But the game is definitely playable and gameplay-wise I got everything I wanted to get done.

That was fun, but a little too easy.

Some audio would go nice with this. Great game.

Nice digging effects!

Definitely playable, but it could do with being balanced a bit as it is a little easy. All I had to do was hold the down arrow and buy the right upgrades at the right time.

Definitly fun. Might just have needed some obstacles to give an additional challenge, but using the tools felt great, everything ran smoothly and the bombs had some power. :D

I really liked the digging effects, but I would have liked some more obstacles. Enemies, unbreakable blocks or some sort of block that has to be used to solve puzzles. Some audio would be nice too.

Overall, nice job :)

A little easy, but in it's own cute way, stunning.

Fun, but far too easy and short... Nice explosion animation!

Pretty fun, but there could have been a few more levels + upgrades.

The graphics were nice but could have used some audio.

Nice one! Actually it would be a good base to get good started, since you have level managment, powerup management and now we need more challenge! None the less a good one!

I also think that it only lacks some challenge and audio.

Nice and solid game. To make it more fun, you should add obstacles and maybe some enemies to avoid. Also the bombs didn't really have a purpose as they are way too slow compared to the drill. Still, the controls feel solid and responsive and the graphics look good. Good work.

Didn't get a chance to play it, but props for having a time-lapse! I haven't seen many games with a time-lapse.
