Greedy Miners by RafaSKB
You play as a shapeshifting cave trying to defend itself from little greedy miners that want nothing but to get their hands on your crystal.
They are small, they are fast and they are clever. They will avoid your defenses and raid your resources, while doing a very annoying little dance. For how long can you survive this madness?
Use the arrow keys to change the cave's shape and activate traps.
Game made with the LibGDX framework (Java).

Well done game. No horrible glitches. Nice music and good, albeit simple, graphics. Lots of fun.
Ceratopsian killed Tyrannosaur. I didn't understand whether I took part in it and what to do next.
Looks great, sounds great, fun gameplay, neat application of theme. Quite funny, as well!
Easily one of the most polished games in the jam; the audio is great and everything looks beautiful! Miner's deaths have never been more satisfying...
Integrating the cooldown indicators into the UI was a great touch; I'd love to see you turn this into something bugger post-jam!
IS GRAPHICS EVERYTHING?! think about it....?

I really love the little grunts and squeaks the miners make!
It did get a bit repetitive, though; basically whack a mole that eventually becomes impossible to keep up with. I would have liked to see miners who had varying AI or more things to hit them with, etc.
After receiving so much positive feedback I'm believe it's a good idea to keep working on this game in the future, introducing different levels, different traps and especially different miners.
My goal was to provide a couple of minutes of fun to the players, and I hope I achieved that. Thanks for playing everyone! =)
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
