A pleasant little digging game that you can play in one sitting. It has some interesting mechanics and a charming main character. Reminded me a bit about Steamworld Dig and Dome Keeper, except it's tiny and cute. A perfect game if you want something short and sweet!

Very well made game, it's quite short but you can get a lot from it, specially if you go for 100% completion like i did. Really enjoyed the gameplay loop of gathering resources and upgrading whenever possible while simultaneously making sure the terrain you're breaking is suitable for both dropping down and climbing back up. It also works very well on the steam deck, so it can be a fun game to just play on bed after a long day.

Such a fun, cute, relaxing game - played it through sharing a controller with my 4 year old daughter, then played it again myself. Probably might end up achievement hunting it too, because it's just such a nice time. Not a hugely long game start to finish, but perfectly priced and with achievements it'll probably go to 4-6 hours. Sound design is great, really fun gameplay loop. Dev did an awesome job, loved this game

Simple, bite-sized game. Drill, come back, upgrade, drill further. You know the, uh, drill. Except there's more to it. For one thing, the map is static, and designed by hand - which trades replayability for a tight, focused experience. So it's more like SteamWorld Dig - except not as expansive. That's... all I can really say. There's some unexpected stuff here; the base game is competent enough, but the unexpected elements give it a pleasant aftertaste. You might even feel a thing or two. Those feelings might even be conflicted. How's that? Really, a wonderful little game. 53% completion rate, for the record - pretty high. Sure, there might be better ways to spend 3€ and 87 minutes, but you won't find many of them. Enjoy. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42922988/]curator page

I LOVE this little game. It has so much charm and I love the mixture of mining, platforming, and puzzle elements. It's so cute! My only issue(s) is that it's extremely short-- you can beat it in maybe 2 hours (I played the majority of it during the demo, so I was pretty far along when I bought this since the demo save carried over). There is some replayability aspect to it with the achievements and "game stats" you receive at the end of the game, so if you want to treat it almost like a roguelike, that could work-- but most of the content is explored within those two hours. There is one other issue-- sometimes it's a bit buggy in some areas (mainly menu stuff, not really gameplay-- except in one instance where an eye-enemy got frozen in place). But overall the game functions very well, and I don't think you'll encounter any issues while playing aside from those few glitches. Being under 3 dollars, I think it's a worth-it purchase for something so cute and cozy. Devs, I hope you can one day expand upon this IP, because this is a character and story I'd love to see again! (Also the main theme of the game has been stuck in my head for a while now; it is SUCH an earworm and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love humming along to it.)
