Dig Deeper! by Cyanilux
Descend into the earth and mine gold! But be careful, there's bats and slimes that don't want you there!
Controls : WASD to Move, E to Interact, use Mouse to Aim, LMB to Attack/Mine, RMB to throw a bomb.
The terrain is destructible, Find the hole to go deeper to the next floor. They're procedurally generated so will be different each time. You can also walk over lava but you'll take a little damage. If you lose all your hearts the game will restart.
Sadly there's not really an end to the game and it lacks some progression / more enemies as I ran out of time, but enjoy mining anyway! There's occasionally a shop with a few upgrades (I recommend getting the pickaxe speed one first!) as well as a statue that provides a bit of healing (at a cost of 100 gold).
Everything was made during the jam except for a few models & animations (Bat, Slime and character in statue) and a script for applying the level transition to the screen. Made with Unity, Universal RP.

@retrospecter The terrain is procedurally generated using cellular automata & marching squares. If you look those up you'll find some similar stuff. Each time the player swings the pickaxe some cells and their neighbours are updated and the mesh is re-generated.
@cninja Ah yeah, I didn't catch that while testing. Some bosses were planned but I didn't have time to add any.
I found the game punitiv and a bit unbalanced (items in shop are too much expensive) :sob:
It lacks of a little ambient music.
It could be a good rogue-lite game (some kind of Spelunky maybe?) Congrats of the final result!
It's simple but fun, good work:)
Lacks some sound, and a bit unbalanced (super expensive items and health goes away fast) but I really liked wandering around !
The items are fairly expensive so need a bit of grinding to get enough gold, I'd recommend getting at least 1 Pickaxe Speed upgrade first as that helps a ton! Can keep falling through levels until you reach a shop including it. In the future I'll definitely look at balancing it better, but glad everyone is enjoying the breakable terrain!
It has good graphics and it's so satisfying to mine around.
Maybe add some sound when you take damage, at first a was playing with the bats and I noticed I was half HP :smile:.
I had fun so Good job.
If you balance that, game will be pretty nice!
Good work!
