Hi! I am currently making a clone of this as a learning experience, but I really want to thank you for coming up with this great game concept. It is the Pico8 game I always come back to. Great stuff :) I will link you in every way possible when I publish my version.
Whenever I come up with a solution I realize that you really always chose the perfect way to handle a problem. It is unbelievable that you came up with this in 48 hours.
Could you add a campaign mode to the game with levels. Each level could just be more people to save and faster water and lower dig power, and just keep progressing until the user can't save 75% of the people. The hardest level just doesn't have enough challenge, and I think the progressive difficulty with the rouge like fear of failure as things get harder would turn this into a real nail biter of an experience.
Neat game! The concept is simple but it’s very engaging! There’s a lot of strategy on how to dig into the cave and who to rescue first. I often got too focused on one side of the map only for me to realize that the other side is starting to flood and there were people suddenly in danger. It can get pretty hectic on higher difficulties! Overall, it was a great time!
