I love almost everything about this game. The character, theme, item descriptions, the music, the writing is great too! Some of the enemies are pretty brutal (the blue mushrooms), but that's okay, I just have to run away.
That said, I think it needs some pretty serious balancing. It seems like every time you dig down there's a chance that you'll fall to your death! The fall damage is absolutely punishing.
The other thing that feels unfair is the air system. I worked out that AP is "air points" (nor armor points as I originally thought). But it seems like there isn't always a way to get more air, and worst of all I never notice that it runs out until I'm suffocating, and by then it's too late.
The other bit of feedback is that it can be very confusing when you fall, or destroy sand. Some tweening to move the character and camera would would really enhance the experience.
Despite the above I'm a big fan and I'm going to give it a few more spins even though it seems like I'd have to get very lucky to win. I see you're still updating it so I'll stay tuned.
It won't appear to load, sadly, but I'm not sure of why… it's just a black screen, even after having disabled my potentially intrusive browser extensions.

The latest update is much harder than the 7DRL version! We definitely have work to do for more balance.
I do have a vague plan to show character/enemy movement, but the engine makes it slightly annoying. I’ll figure it out.

Hiya, if you go directly to the embedded page here: https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/3463566-371182/index.html
Do you see anything useful in the javascript console? Which browser are you using?
Huh, it's working now, at both links! I'm not sure of what happened, but I was on Microsoft Edge Version 90.0.818.8 (Official build) beta (64-bit).
Glad to hear it! I didn’t do much testing with Edge because it’s basically Chrome these days…
yeah, i'm loving the mellow but still-punishing vibe! great OST & the downward pull of the map is v satisfying!
Really cute art, nice music too! Interesting one for sure, I like it!
This game kicks ass, really well executed
nice vibe :) i had an enjoyable game.
