I liked this game. It feels satisfying to mine something, and it makes me think a bit ahead. Am I going to dig down, or sideways? Go for the gold or for the ruby, with the size difference between them? I thought it was fun.

really clean little game with super cute graphics. a few additionnal upgrades or power up would have been nice, like a way to propel upward to allow for some plateforming. Nice job !

This is pretty cool! Took me a bit but I eventually found the win screen. Is there any way to lose?

Nice clean graphics, snappy controls, juicy sound effects, and a simple gameplay loop.

It was a funny little surprise what was waiting at the bottom of the world. Only bug I found is that most of the game resizes itself if you zoom the page in or out, but the UI listing the controls does not. Overall a straightforward but polished entry. Nicely done.

Really cool! Actually played through the whole game. And I agree, we do need more Upgrades! :D

This was really fun to play, I love how you gave very distinct feels to every ore even though they just recolors, finding a big bunch of diamond was satisfying.

A minor think to nitpick: The upgrade window scales oddly on my machine, the upgrade icons float over the panel with "Upgrades" on it.

@freamdev @darkwolf I hadn't designed the game with changing ratio in mind, though I should probably have set it to use viewport scaling anyways. Its never come up before lol. Thanks for playing!
