Welcome to Dime!

Dime (Keeps on Digging Away), was made in a under half a day (roughly 9:30 hours), as such there is no tutorial and no sound (and a fair bit clunkiness XD). But, luckily for you, I've written a short introduction down here, in the description. 

Side note: play the game in your browser; the downloaded version has a major bug that makes it entirely unplayable. 

Guide:

Controls:

  • "WASD" to Move
  • "Left Mouse Button" to use your Pickaxe.
  • "R" to Restart.
  • "Space" to deposit orbs. Also drops you to the next level, once all orbs have been collected in the current one.

In Dime, you collect numbered orbs. The goal is to collect every Amethyst Orb on each floor, but, the catch is, the Orbs have to be collected in numerical order. Starting at 0, the order is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The first level requires you collect 10 orbs, the highest being 9 thereafter the amount of orbs required increases by 2 every time you delve deeper into the cave. You can carry multiple orbs at once (aka. as many Orbs as you would like can be carried at once). Orbs you're carrying follow you in a snakelike manner. To carry an Orb , hit it with your pickaxe, this will put it at the back of your "chain". If you accidently (or purposefully) pickup an Orb out of order, then you can drop the last orb in your chain by pressing x, thereafter picking up the correct orb with your pickaxe. If you want to deposit an orb, you must move to the hole in the center of the cave and press, or hold, "Space". Once all orbs have been collected, you can progress to the next floor by pressing "Space", next to the hole.

Floating skulls will try to stop you from collecting the orbs. You can collide with the skulls without problem, but if you collide with one of their bullets, you will die and need to restart (by pressing "R"). 

The rest should be self explanatory.
