This game has a lot of potential if you decide to continue with the project or idea because the mechanic of building your own monster by digging up the parts is fun.
I know that you guys made each round last as much as the song, but it felt a little abstract in game. I think you could have police or something be the threat if you don't make it in time. Other than that, I think that the time limit fits well with the There and Back again theme, as it makes the going back in forth a gameplay factor in your race against time. Some of the collisions with the trees and gravestones were a little wonky, which made traversal a little annoying.
Diggenstein is a cool game with a cool mechanic, and I think it has the potential to be expanded upon.
Hi GagaGievous, thanks for your kind feedback. The fear of being caught by the authorities was actually the intention behind the timer, unfortunately, an explaination didn't make it into the final build!
I'm glad you enjoyed playing it, and I'm glad the theme and mechanics came across well. Thanks for playing and rating.
