Christmas is coming up, that means that it is time to find the perfect present for your wife; a diamond! Mine for ores in this procedurally generated marching squares world to improve your tools and find precious ores. Find a diamond to complete the game and see the final cutscene.

My code is horribly unoptimized due to a lack of time so the game might take a few seconds to load, especially on WebGL. Controls can be found by pressing the button in the bottom left of the screen.

Theme: 'Giving'

Post Jam Note: The game used to crash when trying to mine a diamond, causing some players not to be able to see the final cutscene. I have now uploaded new files where this bug has been fixed. The rest of the game is still exactly the same.

I found it on OpenGameArt: https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-art-dwarf-sprites. As credited in the acknowledgements on the project page.

I had to leave the game and reload twice to make it work

Perfect! The game might take a bit to load, especially on WebGL, because I did not have any time for optimization.

NOTE: Apparently the game sometimes crashes when trying to mine a diamond. Causing you not to be able to see the final cutscene. If you want to see it, you can watch it on youtube. I also uploaded files with (only!) this bug fixed here: [Removed]. Proof on GitHub, lol.
