Played it for couple minutes, feels great and looks good. I'll play more tomorrow and rate it. I'm too tired, goodnight :D

Thank you guys! We had to cut significant part of the game in order to deliver it polished and smooth. Hope we'll return that part in post-compo version. :)

Okay, second play with rating. It was though but I gave most of my points to innovation, graphics and mood. Theme and audio are second. The little details in this game like shadows of the floor and day&night cycles are impressive. I'm kind of curious what you guys will add in the post version. Good job :)

Doesn't work on win7/chrome. After clicking the play button some blue card flashes in the background, but the game stays on the menu screen and doesn't launch.

It looks great, though even though I was digging when the detector was beeping as rapidly as it could I only ever found one battery :(.

Would be great to include a linux-executable since the webplayer is still win/mac-only... :(

Yes, I think it might be a good idea to include win/mac/linux standalone builds. Working on that!

Nice game ! I love the concept and how it fits to the theme. The sound is good. The graphics needs to be perhaps less cheap (especially the light) as when it is really sunny, we can't read or see very well the ground.
Good job.

Great game, but gameplay was confusing. Whenever I dig something up, there's a sing, but I have no idea what that did.

Worth starting up just for the atmosphere of the game. Survived a couple of days! Cool idea.

This is Rik from the CORE Games team, posting on Mith's account.

This looks seriously good and I'm in love with the style and atmosphere, but unfortunately I didn't really feel like I was progressing at all. I'm sure that was just me being not super great at it (and being a little sleepy) though, so seriously. Probably one of the best entries I've been able to play so far.

The game has great graphics and sound. I enjoyed playing the game but I got the same feelings as @MithosKuu. I found several items but didn't feel I was progressing at all.

Thanks for commenting, randoman! Could you tell what might give you that 'progress' feeling?

Extremely moody and very pretty game. Nice animations on the character.
Beeping sound was a bit annoying. Also, it would have been good to have an additional visual feedback for it.
Having no Battery left means your practically dead, no? Or is there anything you could do once Battery reaches 0?

@Maschinen-Mensch, on zero battery metal detector will beep less frequently so you're still able to search for items.

That voxel sand is awesome! I wish there were holes in the sand after you dig, but i believe that's a part of what you have cutted.
