A short mining adventure where you play as a demon chiseling through an icy prison using a pickaxe you gradually upgrade. Breaking apart statues and collecting pieces reveals the story of an ancient friendship while providing the satisfying core loop of destruction and incremental tool improvement. Best suited for players who enjoy methodical progression games with a narrative payoff.

Fun little game, if you like mining. I wish the pick axe speed was faster and maybe reduce the damage. Compared to the demo it is really slow. The walking speed gets way too fast, when you just want to pickup some pieces, maybe a sprint button for the last 3 levels?
Thanks for the story :)

Enjoyed playing through this. Cute story that leaves you wondering which way it will turn. Game is fluid but gets a bit "rough" when you make too big of explosions. Would be nice to see the speed increase as a sprint option instead as well as a way to fly downward slightly without canceling out of flight. There is something satisfying involved with digging and breaking things.

Looking forward to more.

Starts off very slow, which motivates you to upgrade your pickaxe and walking speed. I enjoyed this short game after getting both endings.
