LD48
Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were a rock monster that got lost on the surface? Dig your way back down to your family of course!
Use the ASD keys to dig sideways and downwards, rock monsters obviously can't jump.
Eating rocks isn't easy so it takes energy, watch your energy bar in the top left corner. Eating gold ore replenishes some energy.
Should you find some delicious rubies to eat you can use Spacebar to trigger an explosion.
You can also eat some heavy iron ore, but I'll let you figure out what that does on your own!

Cool game
Wau ... best LD48 game. Good job! ..fun end :)
Wow thank you! :D
This gives me some mega-miner vibes, haha.
I never understood what the iron does, but I think it's what contributed to the extended falls. When those happen, I feel like I'm going on such a huge power trip, just chewing through everything!
The game has simple controls, yet has you making decisions all the time which is great.
In terms of balance, Everything felt right except for the rubies over-abundance. I felt like I could explode whenever I wanted to. But then again, I didn't abuse the explosives, so perhaps the balance is okay for that. Maybe splitting the ruby into 2 different blocks so that one can explode the field, and one that gives you the explosive ability might be something.
Awesome game overall. The graphics are really attractive, and it's what pulled me in to click :)
Thanks for the nice comments! I agree with your balance comments, the game definitely gets easier as you go deeper instead of harder.
