Really great job, super fun! With more variation I'd def play a full game like this.
I loved the look of the game as soon as I opened it. Then I fell in love with how the mole kinda popped out of the dirt. I just thought it was a nice bit of polish...
But then there was a WHOLE level surrounding that mechanic! And the level started easy and got harder progressively. I loved getting into the flow of it.
This is prime example of great level design. I would %100 play 10 more levels of this, or more.
- I really like the digging vs walking/running mechanic, really nice dynamic
- fun puzzles to solve using the dig moving mechanic
- short and sweet and well produced
Improvements:
- simply more levels; it's a good foundation for a much longer game
- maybe put a speedrun scoreboard in so that plays can try to beat their best previous times
- you could put in additional materials like snow or gravel that require item pick-ups to dig into them
Bugs:
- I didn't run into any
I wouldn't even say this is a jam game! So good!
The main idea is very good. Digging through the dirt made for interesting platforming, and I do believe you have strong foundations for a more fully fleshed-out game here.
The graphics were good and very clear, as pointed out by others. I would have loved the game to go on a little longer but I'll take what I have ^^
The only thing that "bugged" me a bit was moving with keys, meaning only 8 directions were available. But I'm really nitpicking here, the game overall is very good already.
Congrats!
