Excavate is a top-down-shooter made for the ludum dare.

You are a machine sent into a mine to collect precious resources, but an intangible, unknown entity seems to be chasing you.
Search for resources with your compass using 'R,' mine them with your pickaxe, and defend yourself from enemies with your rifle, but remember you have limited ammo.
You can upgrade your tools using 'C,' as well as craft ammo and repair your machine.
The unknown entity is seemingly immune to any attack, so you will have to find a way to damage it if you want to defeat it. If you were to fail, your equipment and resources gathered will be recovered by command and ready to use for the next unit.
Fulfill your labor and serve the Human Federation.

Had fun playing the game :)
I would have liked to be more easily able to know what are the controls, I spent some times playing without upgrading because I didn't read anything xD 
Then I upgraded my compass but thought it didn't work , until I accidentally scrolled the mouse whelle xD
Really liked the music loop !
Nonetheless, a cool little game, t'was fun, keep up the good work ✨
