Such a charming little game :) No further words needed. Big recommend! 10/10
cute little game! i really like how everything was structured in a way that almost completely avoided any immersion-breaking tutorials. not every game can do that and the ones that can often don't decide to. the sound design and art direction are both very cozy and well executed. the puzzles themselves make me feel clever to solve but never became frustrating or tedious. there is a lot of backtracking, but this is one of the few games that made me enjoy that because it felt rewarding to create tunnels i could escape through even when the situation got dire. i don't know why this is controller only. i feel like the inputs could very easily be mapped to keyboard and players wouldn't lose out on the experience whatsoever. but that's just me. if you are someone who has a controller handy and takes interest in any of what i said in the first part, i'd absolutely recommend sitting down with this for the short while it takes to complete!
A pleasant little mining game that can be beaten in a couple of hours! I did get stuck at one point because I hadn't yet figured out a mechanic necessary to complete the game, though that was mostly just due to me missing the area that explains that mechanic to you. It's cool that you don't have an 'attack,' and have to use falling blocks or spikes to defeat enemies. It turns combat into a sort of puzzle, which I think is pretty cool! Been replaying it to try and get all the achievements, some are pretty challenging!
Most delightful, yes
Nice short game, worth the 2,5€
Fun little game
