Nice little game. The controls get choppy sometimes, but overall a nice mini-puzzle. Thanks!
Liked it!As others have mentioned the controls are a bit weird. Was cool to be able to climb!
I can't seem to get the hang of the wall-grabbing/climbing movement.
Really cute graphics! The controls were tight, though the sticking to the walls controls took a little bit of getting used to. Some nice light music would have gone well with it too!
Nice game! It is pretty fun, but next time, try to add some sound effects or music into your game
Runs pretty slow on my computer, nice little game though :)
Seems to have a resource leak or something - I started playing it, then it and my entire browser kept running slower, and slower, until it would barely run anymore. Using Windows/Firefox. Looks fun, I'll make another pass later and see if I can rate it then.
Took me a while to figure out that I should drop the chests on the spikes instead of finding a key.
Weird.. I was living even after I was killed X times :D Seems bit unfinished to me :-)
I had fun, but the controls were a little difficult to manage. Sticking against a wall while falling was the biggest issues, followed by sometimes only digging one space instead of 2.
It was going well at first but I started sticking to every wall I touched, and couldn't seem to get back to playing normally.
It seems like a cross between Dig Dug and a DOS game called Jetpack. Pretty sweet!
Ran very slowly on firefox on windows...
It ran better on chrome, but controls didn't seem to work very well and I would get stuck jumping around.
The graphics were nice.
The controls are pretty clumsy and that takes away a lot from the overall fun. I know how much work it takes to make this kind of an engine in 48 hours though so good job. Good luck in the standings. I invite you to see my game also.
Clumsy controls/collision detection and a bit of a framerate drop in the second level. but I like what's there and the art style is fun!
At least on Firefox, the framerate very quickly gets really bad, so I couldn't really play long.
I also couldn't figure out what to do with the treasure chest. I dug up to the one on the right (digging up doesn't seem to require the 'x' key), and it fell down, but I didn't find any way to break it open. Then I tried digging down, and got trapped underneath it on the bottom right. :P
Was really clunky and I got stuck in the wall a lot. couldn't figure out what to do
Great job :D
It ran fine on my Firefox.
I think the gravity could be lowered so that you decelerate gradually, which would give a more smooth feel.
Neat little game. Digging was sometime tricky, and I got stuck under the treasure chest on the left. But I liked it!
Funny game and nice animations/effects, but the controls are difficult.
I saw some people saying that the game ran too slowly for them, but in Chrome for me it was the opposite; it ran too fast! Sounds like just a timing issue rather than a performance one. Looking beyond that, though, it looks like it would be a fun game. The wall grabbing and digging and everything seemed like it would have worked well. And the graphics are certainly nice. It runs a bit too quickly for me to play but I can definitely see that it's something to look back at once that's worked out. Nice job!
The pixel graphics feel good, and also the music. Nice game, I really enjoy it!
Some bugs with movement (getting stuck for no apparent reason). But overall a nice idea. Hint: maybe double the resolution of the graphics to make the game area bigger and easier on the eyes ?
Controls are a little tricky (not quite intuitive), but definitely a great effort, and could be developed further.
It seems nice but I didnt know what to do... Can you open the chest or dig upwards? Got stuck a bit on the walls also, don't know if it's a bug or a feature XD
Enjoyed it for a while. Good graphics and idea, but after 2 minutes the game starts to be reaaaally slow :/
Really like the use of theme ! You're entry is really fun ! Great job !
Controls are a bit laggy, but past that I see a fun game with an adorable mole searching for clues.. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?
Fun little game, controls are a bit sketchy in some places but overall decent.
On the plus side, the climbing up the walls thing was innovative, but on the minus side that made it a little tricky to play. It's a shame you didn't manage to get any sound in there.
Fun little puzzle game :)
The digging is a bit difficult as sometimes you don't get the right tiles.
Good fun game. The digging was a bit hard sometimes when near the edge of a block of earth. Nice graphics I thought.
hum ran very very slow on my machine (I5!) and was unplayable. The graphics looked good so far
Very slow on Firefox, very fast in Chrome :o
Also it's easy to get stuck in walls.
I see a lot of potential though :) If you fix up the controls and those frame rate problems, it could be great.
The graphics are very pretty too!
I found it hard to use the navigation, I would get stuck in one spot. However, it was quite fun. :)
loved the ghost and the graphics. a bit hard to control, but that was probably me. :-)
Nice graphics! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to to open the chest.
Lagged pretty bad in firefox, might want to put a note and suggest people use Chrome (in which it worked fine)! Other than that I think it was pretty fun, but the collision seemed a bit glitchy and I often found myself stuck:(
Interesting game. The wall hanging is a little buggy and it would be nice to have some sound. I like the character, and the digging. Good job :)
Not bad - very digdug-esque. A bit hard to control but nifty all the same
The digging felt pretty satisfying. I got stuck under the chest and was too lazy to try again though :p
Seeing the tiny little mole arms furiously dig attempting to avoid the ghost is a pretty funny image. Great job :)
The shiny coins and gems are compelling . The art is vibrant and clear, and makes me want to explore the game.
I liked the first level, but when i got to level two, i got horrible slowdown (google chrome). I have a very fast computer too...
nice game, though... and funny name... i was kind of sort of thinking about doing a dig-dugger myself.
Pretty good, I wondered what was happening with the jumping and stuff but it was the wall climb mechanics at work. I ended up getting a bug where I got stuck on the spikes under the middle chest and couldn't get out or dig.
I'm into the wall climbing thing, but the controls were really hard to get used to. I kept getting stuck on things I didn't intend to stick myself to.
Quite lovely, I enjoyed the idea but the controls were slippery and too fast to master. The graphics and level design was cool :)
Eventually I got stuck under the leftmost chest and that was embarrassing XD so that was a game deadend :P
But good job the game could just do with polishing, solid idea :)
Good game for 48hrs. I got confused a lot about jumping and wall hanging, but that was my fault. A little strange to mix that with smoothly digging around.
Nice little game. I like the art style, very cute. As other have mentioned, the controls are a bit weird and the mole gets stuck every once in a while.
You should make the spikes hurt the mole, because I was trapped beneath the chest on the left side. Had to restart :-(
I got stuck under a chest and couldn't get out.
Fun digging mechanic though, although the mole seemed to dig even if i wasn't pressing X.
Pretty nice game! You can get stuck underneath a chest, but that's ok. R is your friend. :)
A bit buggy but fun old school game, with nice graphics.
What can we do with chests ?
Nice boulderdashery game.
Controls seem a bit inconsistent, sometimes I can walk up underground with the up arrow, sometimes jump, and sometimes I just get stuck.
Run slow on firefox. Also some control are bugged. Not sure if that was caused by the lag :v
Nice idea, I like the mole sprite!
Quite liked the wall-climbing ability - maybe would have worked better if the up arrow did both climb and jump though? Also not sure if it was just me but I couldn't find a way to open the chests.
This didn't run well in Firefox, but it was just fine in Chrome...go figure. Can the treasure chests be opened?
Good as hell.
The mole looked a bit like a bird, but that only makes it more fun!
could use some audio, also it seemed to run slow, but don't know if that's my computer.
The controls/collisions kind of really hamper this game from being fun. It is just too hard to move/dig through the dirt. I like the concept and the artwork though, it just needs a little more love. Also, how the heck do you open the treasure chests??
I love the graphics. The bounding boxes appear to be too strict. There is a bit of sticking on walls. I'm not really sure how to get the rightmost chest and I thought the spikes were gonna kill me. :D
I liked the graphics. Framerate dropped a lot after playing a while and game became unplayable.
Im my Pc it runs very slow, but its playable. Nice game but too simple. Keep improving its perfomance ;-)
Well, that was a nice little game about digging. I agree that the controls could use some work. For me the jumping was too hyper, and the sticking to walls was hard to control. I got 3650 points!
What the hell???
Slow down my PC even with my i5 quad-core...
very colourfull. Looks nice. The climb control was a little irritating as it was difficult to unstick yourself
Nice, too bad I got stuck in walls pretty often, also it's a bit hard.
Controls are kinda choppy at times, and it is kinda strange opening a chest with spikes.
Super nice graphics, though there were some glitches. Well done over all! I included your game in part 6 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series! http://youtu.be/K5ATRciKj24
Nice puzzle elements - but I think the platforming physics/feel could definitely be tweaked!
You need to work in the controls: the jump is too powerful and digging need to many keys.
Also, some sfx and/or music is needed. If you don't know how compose music (like me) or know someone to help you, I recomend you use some free music available around the web.
Nice sprites. The mole gets stuck in the air or at walls quite often, which might become annoying sometimes.
Nice game. Jumping felt a little awkward to me. Very colorful look which I enjoyed. Good work. Well done!
Great look. The controls were really glitchy for me though. I kept getting stuck on things.
Heh, nice name.
Pretty fun, but the controls need some work. I couldn't stop clinging to walls that sometimes didn't exist, or just getting stuck in the falling animation while hanging on a wall and not being able to move.
controls are messed up - cannot figure out the object - nice effort
I got stuck in the walls a lot.
I think you have the funniest title though.
Almost got everything, but got trapped under the last treasure chest. The controls listing doesn't mention the ability to climb, which is fairly important - you should add that.
I enjoyed the look of the game. Not much besides that though.
Nice graphics but the controls seems little odd, kept getting stuck.
shame it ran really slow on an up to date pc.... a frame rate ester or something may have helped, but it might be firefox i guess.... but a good effort though, great tile maps and idea.
Looks really promising and great graphics, but I get stuck on edges here and there and not sure how to open chests? Could really use some music and sound effects too :)
I could hardly play it, as it made my Firefox lag like hell...
That being said, graphics are very nice.
Seems pretty fun. My experience was a little laggy, guess its chrome's fault. And couldn't shoot anything.
This one has potential, I liked the idea and the graphics. The controls were very difficult to handle though. Good job!
