Fossil Finders

An exciting 2-player race: dig beneath Forest Park looking for valuable dinosaur fossils! 

• Collect bones for points!
• Avoid bats that can stun you!
• It takes longer to dig the further down you are!
• Find the Magic Pickaxe for a temporary boost in digging speed!
• Get a better score than your opponent, and try to make it on the Leaderboard!

Made in <48 hours during the 2018 St Louis Arcade Jam at the St Louis Science Center!

NOTE: This game was made to work with a Winnitron Arcade machine, so the controls are a little weird: 

P1: Arrow Keys
P2: WASD

"Any Key" = Period, Backslash, Tilde, or 1 (don't ask!)

You will be able to play this game (as well as the ~20 others made during the Jam) at the St Louis Science Center's Game eXPloration exhibit - opening mid-October 2018!
