We are Aaron & Justin, after a lot of scrambling and getting things together, we have finally (kinda) completed our Ludum Dare entry: Dig Master!\r\n\r\nThe object of the game is to dig further and further down by breaking Blocks beneath you, while gathering coins to boost your score. It takes 4 hits to break a normal block, while the Target Block can be broken in 1 hit.\r\n\r\nWatch out, though! The target block changes on the timer bar, so you have to keep an eye on when the target block is going to change, or you may get trapped! Gray Blocks also can't be broken at all!\r\n\r\nThe controls are very simple. Left\/Right Arrow Keys to move. Space to hit the Block.\r\n\r\nSUMMARY:\r\nControls\r\n- Left\/Right: Arrow Keys\r\n- Hit: Space Bar\r\n\r\nHits:\r\n- 1 Hit to break Target Block\r\n- 4 Hits to break Non-Target block\r\n- Gray blocks are Unbreakable\r\n\r\nPoints:\r\n- 1 Point per Coin\r\n- 1 Point per Block, an additional point if it's the Target block\r\n\r\nWe definitely see a lot of potential in Dig Master, so we are thinking of expanding this game (as a free iOS\/Android game). There are so many balance tweaks and polish that we weren't able to implement in the small time frame, but we love this game. We have a lot of ideas in mind for the future, like Power-Ups, Varying Block Types, and even Multiplayer!\r\n\r\nBecome the next Dig Master! Post your scores in the comments below! :)\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to \"Goto80\" for the music!","title":"Dig Master"}
