I finished the game. It turned out really well. It was a little confusing at first; a tutorial would have been helpful.

The visuals are stunning, as is the soundtrack. The theme is well-developed. The first few minutes were really hard to figure out what to do.

I love how ragged our protagonist looks. He really looks like he's in dire need of finding treasure :D

Interesting use of the theme and very nice atmosphere!

Quite a fun game! Art and music was great. Mechanics are simple, but it was well executed. I did figure out moving my mouse all over the place to find the shovel icon was faster than taking my time once I picked up a signal.

Also lmao, I was wondering what that explosion sound came from. I had left the game running while writing my comment.

You can get an extra half star on humour for that ;)

I found your game very cool. Its fun lies in its simplicity and objectivity: No need for a bunch of commands and rules. Just listen, observe, and dig!

Your art style is very beautiful. That comical air created a very fun and relaxed atmosphere. Your color palette is calm. I could spend a lot of time here hunting for treasures.

The music is a spectacle in itself. It's excellent! Of the games I played at LD59, it has one of the coolest soundtracks.

Congratulations! Great game.

Note: Did I see something hidden?!?

One of my favorite audio tracks I've heard this LD. Matches the vibe really well! It wasn't clear what (if anything?) the bombs did. I got the good ending, but as far as I could tell it was random what items I dug up. Overall I enjoyed the vibe but the gameplay loop could use some more refining to enhance the fun.
