This video game was developed by me and my almost 9 years old daughter. We designed and developed the game together, each on our computers.
The final version was debugged / improved by me.

The sonar before and after result :


Hoho, you need to dig deeper !

I did run into a bug where I couldn't mine anymore after I used the sonar on an obsidian tile (I may have clicked on the empty space by mistake). The game still played but I couldn't mine any block or buy anything any more.
Uploaded a screenshot to show where it happened.

I really do think this is a fantastic game and would like to congratulate and thank you both for making it.
I played it a few times and really enjoyed it.
As said above, hope you and your daughter will be participating in many more jams in the future :)
Nothing new or original but the gameplay loop seems top be working.
Thanks for the feedback @iman, i will patch this.
We look forward to see all the great games of this ld48.
Excellent job! Was a fun one screen game, clear mechanics, feedback, visuals etc.
Quite challenging, I wasn't able to get them all.
I dont really have any suggestions or constructive criticism, way to go!
This is the first game, all the family will be on board for the LD49. Perhaps with a more complex gameplay, we'll see ;)
I was able to win the game, so i'm happy :)
Great job!
Congrats on a job well done, both of you! I really like the terrain textures
The whole vibe did really remind me of our project, where you also can run out of pickaxes heh
Also liking the casual vibe, thats for sure! Great!
Yep, I like emojis too! They are a great way of conveying tone and intent in writing!
To all : i think it's easier to win if you go to the deeper layer to dig : diamonds are interesting (more money).
The sonar help to choose the column to mine on the last layers.
I think that if the sonar is too cheap it will be too easy.
Another tip : when you realize the number of diamond 💎 is the same in each line it become more clear how to win the game ;)
We had to tweak the prices and variables to make it interesting !
A game can't be too easy or too hard.
I think it's rewarding to "understand" something in a game with trial and error.
We will do another version later if we have enough good ideas.
