Hilarious idea. For some reason the audio didn't work on chrome (latest version) so I have rated n/a for audio.

Truly the greatest LD game ever. You definitely had me playing for over an hour. Full marks all around.

It's not particularly difficult or original, but it's pretty funny and it has some cool music. I played for about half an hour when I should have been doing work, so you're definitely on par with Dice Wars here.

The two complaints I have with this game are 1) the "YOU DIED!" text never goes away, which gets pretty obnoxious pretty fast, and 2) it takes waaaaay too long to grind for the items. If you had the coins correspond to real world US currency (pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters/half-dollars/dollar coins) it would make the most sense, in my opinion.

Oh, and also-- Shoop da Whoop? 9001? It's not 2007 anymore, dude!

And since the coin growth is exponentional you only need to achieve some deeper depths to win.

One of the best, if not THE best ostrich simulator I've ever seen.
