I started making level wayyyyy to late (like 1 hour before the deadline). There is only tow "real" levels, the first to one being dedicated to teaching you the basics.\r\rLesson: don't spend more time making the dirt mining effect than you spend making actual LEVELS."},{"author_name":"aamatniekss","author_uid":"64215","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 2:57pm","epoch":1450104720,"text":"It's pretty nice!

Yeah ok, BUG. Bug I squashed, 0.1.1 is out, with the room restart function WORKING (and not only trapping you where you already are), and level switch WORKING.

At first I thought this was just another procedural game but the level design is actually really clever. Great graphics & animation too. My only complaint is it's a bit on the slow side, and that plus the moving jelly you have to jump on in the second level made me give up after a few tries :P Still, awesome work!"},{"author_name":"Eingya","author_uid":"55955","time":"Dec 24, 2015 @ 4:36pm","epoch":1450974660,"text":"Fun and interesting. Only 2 notes\r\r1 - maybe make it clearer that getting to the bottom of the level is the win condition\r2 - I feel like it would work better if it was a bit more fast paced. Digging blocks with one hit rather than two would probably have a worse game feel, but maybe make for smoother gameplay"},{"author_name":"Nooner Bear","author_uid":"41949","time":"Dec 30, 2015 @ 8:22pm","epoch":1451506620,"text":"If I could only give one Compo a perfect overall score it'd be this game.
