A very simple concept but plays smoothly and has great replaybility as well.

The game still played but I couldn't mine any block or buy anything any more.\n\nUploaded a screenshot to show where it happened.\n![Capture.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/b68\/d\/z\/3ded6.png)\n\nI really do think this is a fantastic game and would like to congratulate and thank you both for making it.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":629874,"author_name":"Fictions","author_uid":"fictions","epoch":1619464205,"text":"You both did an amazing job with this game :smile: I hope you had an amazing weekend making this game together and will be joining more jams in the future.

Totally unusual with many good ideas - especially when player buys a sonar. The main aesthetic is just pleasant with a good background. The best part is the main gameplay. Very addictive.
