You are in an unsafe underground gold mining site. The mines starts collapsing with rain of rocks. Death rocks are haunting you in these mines. Call it a warzone between you and the rocks. Survive as long as you can…
\nCoNtRoLs\nUse arrow keys to move left and right.\nUse spacebar to blow up rocks.\nAvoid falling rocks, Collect Gold, Explosives and life packs. Dont run out of explosives in these death caves…you will be as good as dead.

\nI wish the dynamites went through the ore, because I felt like I was wasting ammo otherwise.

\nI played for a while, the graphics were good and the screen shaking was a nice effect. Ended up failing when I had been without explosives for too long.
\nMovements felt a bit restricted.
\nWasn’t sure of there was an end-game, or just survive as long as possible. Perhaps when a certain level of gold is reached new power ups could drop, like bigger bombs or shields.

You should use image-rendering to avoid everything looking blurry.\nThe sound effects are pretty nice too. It was satisfying to blow stuff up, but the game gets a little monotonous after a while.\nMy dynamite gets stopped by piles of gold, which is a little annoying. Is that intended?
The concept, while not being the most original, fits the theme. The game is unfortunately a bit lacking in many aspects.
\nVisually, there is no ground, assets are in very low resolution/quality, the walking animation for the character is also jumpy and inconsistent, the height of the character sprite changes slightly each movement.
\nGameplay-wise, the low resolution of the assets makes it hard to see precisely where the rock hitbox is. The same goes for the character. The core concept is good, but lacks depth and becomes repetitive very fast. A few extra features/mechanics could diversify the gameplay (a few examples : a special power to clear all the rocks, or a jetpack allowing to move vertically, or a use for the collected gold like a power up shop or something…).
\nThe core is here, but more polish was expected.

I think you could improve it by adding more survival elements into it, like dark mist in cave, more dimensions to explore, for example top down view with dropping rocks or multiple cave levels with ladders. Graphics could also be improved for creating the atmosphere.
