Hello, this is my first Pico-8 game! It's based off the great intro tutorial by Dylan Bennett, but I took it in a different direction. Your goal is simply to mine out all the nuggets and get as many as possible! Enjoy (also it's probably really hard, I could use some advice on difficulty!)
I love pico-8 and can't wait to do more stuff with it!



Whoa. This is incredible. I love the incentive to get close to danger in order to mine. Totally flips the mechanic of "stay away from the walls"! Great music too. You definitely took it far, far beyond the basic bones of the tutorial! Very, very nice work!



Thank you! The tutorial did a great job onboarding me into just how Pico-8 works (also never used Lua before, but now I love it).



Very nice. I wish I could've done something like this, but in all honesty, I got a little frustrated trying to add coins to my tutorial-based game.
My advice for you for this game is that you could make die slower when I hit the walls. Maybe a larger amount of i-frames would be nice. That way it's slightly easier. Otherwise, great game. Really.
Thanks for making a fantastic game.
