Is this game one button killing? And how it using the theme?
that lava came as real surprise.. it cost me 2 lives to realize what is going on.. turned into real keyboard smasher.. fun
Nice to play this. Wasn't easy once that giant turkish rug thing came for me :)
Digbot and his full range of robot emotions really brought this game to life
This was really awesome! I liked the concept and the lava was properly terrifying lol. Excellent work!
I do like a bit of Mania in my games and this certainly provided it.
However I may have to charge you for keyboard replacement :P
Great game and lots of fun (and lava)
Very fun! The end of the first level had me enraged!!! Good work :D
Fun, frantic gameplay, but pretty difficult. The lava also starts really quickly and if you aren't expecting it you are basically screwed on your first playthrough.
Super-fun game! As soon as I saw the lava I just started furiously tapping the spacebar hoping to outrun it. Took a couple of tries, but I made it!
Very good game, really frantic. It's a tad annoying that you have to start all over again once all lives are gone. The fifth stage did me in (the one with the bombs).
Completely non themed though :)
Quite fun and had me playing a while. Trying to dig up though is pretty difficult, and couldn't get past level 4 or so because of this. Also don't really see how this is related to the theme at all but whatever lol. Nice game
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
I tried to connect the theme within the story/title cards in that Digbot was moving through an old connected tunnel of two worlds, but I can absolutely see how that doesn't come through enough for true thematics. Definitely something I'll keep in mind for my second LD!
Nice game! I had to stop playing because otherwise my spacebar will sue me. Is it me or there is no audio on this game?
Cool game :) I destroyed my space button, but it was fun, though a bit too difficult. I would have finished the game if I had unlimited lives.
Nice game ! I like it and that lava puts the game even more interesting.
Best game I have played yet! Very nice job. This is legitimately fun to play!
I dig it, those levels hard as rock, but Digibot should have paper drills to dig faster xD
now seriousley, great game, the visuals are simple but effective and the levels are really well designed and the parts with text really add deepness to the game.
Seems to be a dropbox error so I can't play now. Bookmarking for later because I want to try this one.
Dropbox link (Web) should be working now. Added a Game Jolt link as well just in case!
Dat Lava! Had me racing like a madman. Glad I came back to this one, this was a lot of fun.
At first it doesn't seem like much, but the buttom smashing, retro looks and fast decision taking made this thing really fun to play, congrats!
The story didn't make much sense to me (seems like a few words were missing?), but he's a Digbot so whatever he says as long as he digs ;) Good level design too.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Great submission Christian. That lava scared the crap out of me! lol
