This is a game that me and my friends made over the weekend. I was responsible for the coding and they for other things (see credits in game). It is very unoptimized, but we all managed to run it fine. The code is also the most messy that I have ever written in my entire life. Anyway, it's our attempt at our first LD game ever. Hope you get some enjoyment out of it! :D
IMPORTANT: Requires the latest version of Java. If you are unable to run the game, upgrade Java here: http://www.java.com/
EDIT: Added a Java 7 compiled version. Please let me know if that works better for you guys! <3

I managed to play it, it was fun. I got a score of 17. Nice graphics as well.
649! That's a pretty killer score you got there!
(I only managed 49.)
Nice, simply fun. I dig it!
Nice work, but why did you leave out most of the voting categories? I can only vote on audio and humor...
It seems to require Java 8. I upgraded from java 7 to 8 and it works. You've only marked Audio and Humor and judging categories. Was that intentional? I'll wait for an answer before I rate the game. It looks nice.
Sorry, that was my fault. Going to edit everything straight away. Thank you everyone for playing! =D
Oh, and that 649 score took me like half an hour to achieve. Just sayin'...
I really like the that you included a working leader board. Great graphics and a pretty fun game.
I've got 78. Hint: it's easier to move around with left hand, and dig with right. I like this game.
I thought it was great. I scored 15. This game makes me really want to buy a mechanical keyboard.
OK, now I remember, why I dread winter sometimes. All that snooow...
Cute game though, especially since at the moment I actually miss snow - it's raining outside and that's pretty anticlimactic before Christmas.

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Sorry, can't play the game :(
