It's simple, and the graphics look rushed, but the sound was good. It would have been nice to have some sort of possible fail condition.

I like the feel of the movement. It would be nice if it had something to make it more of a challenge, though when I realized the jetpack only had so much fuel it made me think a bit more about what I was doing and how.

A nice little exploration game. The jetpack was a good idea - I often dug too far down. Good job!

Nice little simple game. I agree with the above commenter that it would be nice to have some sort of challenge to it (fail condition)

yeah, the sound definitely is one step ahead of gfx :)

The mechanics/physics feel rock solid. It's really satisfying to fly around and plow through the blocks. You just need to work on the programmer art.

The controls are a bit frustrating, but for some reason it makes the game fun. Great job!

Pretty cool. A few things that would probably improve it: A bit more friction/drag on movement, so it's less slidey, a reason not to just dig through everything, and more of a general challenge/goal. I mean, hey, I know it's 48 hours! Nice music as well!

Fun game, graphics could be better, but it's still fun to play

Wow. That audio.

As somebody stated before, I'd be nive to have some sort of fail condition. Maybe fuel pickup's instead of auto replenish?

Too bad that gravity don't influence gold piles.

I don't mind the graphics :) they're not to bad. But it got it bit boring after the fifth level with 18 treasures. If it has a good fail condition it would be a lovely game.
