I like it! The collision detection felt a little unfair a couple of times. Still, it's fun!

Straight to the point and fun :)

Objects tend to disappear while they are still on screen, this can be a bit confusing. Also most assets tend to have different pixel size, so it's a bit weird visually.

The sounds are cute, they work very well. Drilling is satisfying. I like that I can go full horizontal, so that I can "hold" for a bit.

Nice tunneling game. I love the little "Oh no" that happens when you die. I think that the collision is a bit unfair sometimes and you might consider adding some music with the sound effects. Other than that, good game!

Simple, fun game. I liked the pixelart, and some of the obstacles made me laugh.

I think this game would work better with a vertical camera, so you have a little bit more of reaction time.

Still, funny game, good job!

I love the 'Oh nooo' sound, so cute! I felt like the game was a bit too hard (especially right in the beginng) but I guess thats very subjective. But overall a very nice game!

The sound effects make it very satisfying. The random objects are great. I also had a collision detection problems as well, but overall a very fun game.

Nice game guys. Nice graphics and audios. It took me a few tries to realize I need to avoid EVERYTHING. It also gets hard pretty quickly. The controls are fine, as expected, nicely done. It's funny to see a boat underground XD

Overall, good jam!

Pretty cute. I didn't realize at first that all the objects would kill me. The controls are good but personally I think it would make more sense to reverse them since you're always going down. Could use some more audio. Also collisions were definitely unfair. There were a couple times I entirely missed an object and still lost. Also a slower ramp of difficulty might be nice. Starting right off the bat with a million objects to avoid made it a little tough. I like it overall, though.

Simple gameplay, but well executed. As it is, the game is very hard. Sometimes there were so many objects in the way they seemed impossible to avoid. It would be nicer to start easier with less objects. I am also in favour of reversing the controls.

This is a very cute yet simple take on the theme at hand for this year's jam. I think you had a very nice balance on all of your elements used and overall you did such a great job
