A Game About Digging A Hole

A Game About Digging A Hole

View Stats:
Quality of Life / Suggestions for features (SPOILERS!)
Some things I noticed while playing (just unlocked achievement mode):


QoL:

Something on the UI for inventory Space - Could just be basic bar that fills as your inventory does, but something that shows what ores you have in a bar by colour would be awesome.

An on/off button for the jet pack - I created a path should i run very low on battery, and then accidentally died by holding space for too long when jumping!

The ability to place dynamite - having the dynamite loose means that any magma blocks that are fully mined out can be impossible to destroy

Low size Voxels could auto delete/remove - It's very easy to dig a hole, and leave tiny voxels that can be deadly when falling into the hole

A note in the chest to say that the teleporter is one time use - I wasted mine XD

An optional tutorial (I get that the theme is no text boxes etc) - Adding in tutorials for the rocks, magma rocks, etc might help.


New features:

Be able to buy platforms - Once you have dug out an area, it would be helpful to have placeable platforms that You can use to break up the empty space. maybe just a 1x1 square and 1x1 stairs.

Upgreades to Health - Everything else scales, so something to increase health for late game would be useful

Speedrun Functionality - Maybe an Any%, All achievements, and "All dirt" with a % complete tracker?

Two separate paths for Tools - The shovel is incredibly satisfying, so is the drill, but having the option for a mega shovel as well as an endgame drill would keep the satisfaction of manual click digging.

All in all had a lot of fun with this, and I hope to see future updates with more features. Thank you!

Double tap jump to activate jet pack would be easy fix. The tiny floating voxels blocking paths does get annoying sometimes. % of dirt cleared would be great as a new game+ feature for those that want to get all the dirt. The rest are less of an issue to me personally, but I can see why people would want them
while playing i had the idea of like, a button to destroy all floating dirt, maybe balanced by having it also destroy any resources in the floating dirt as well
Nice list, I would like to add to have different sounds for the different ores. Strange that a rock sounds exactly the same as coal, iron etc.

I would like to add a way to keep diggin by holding down the mous button instead of needing to click for every stab. I have issues with my hand when I click too much and hoped the game would have something like this as a base. Maybe have to refund because of that sadly.

Just rush the drill upgrade and it keeps going when you hold the mouse button
end game to be able to keep buying upgrades
a timer for those speed runners
once you find teleporter id like to be able to buy one at the end i had 10k+ net worth in diamonds but Moles.
