Dig deep into the fossil records and discover bones and other archaeological finds, which the goal of assembling all six pieces of a T-Rex fossil! Use profit from your finds to upgrade your digging abilities in a unique minigame, where you must dig around the fossil to excavate it intact, in a sort of cross between Minesweeper and Tetris.

Each of your tools has unique properties. The magnifying glass can be used to check whether or not there's a fossil below a specific tile, without breaking it. You can then go in with the chisel to carve around the edges of the object to uncover it! The hammer has a similar effect as the chisel, but creates a shockwave around it that breaks tiles while not damaging fossils. However, the hammer costs two turns instead of just one.

*There is a known bug with the hammer, where you have to purchase it twice before it becomes unlocked. Sorry about that, it'll be fixed post jam!*

The digging minigame is fun and offers lots of diversity through the use of the purchasable upgrades! It also looks awesome and I love how everything moves in the wind!

Thank you!
