This is pretty good. At first I didn't realise that the 2 yellow blob floor pattern showed how close you are to a gold nugget. Once I got that it changed the game and I could start to play with strategy rather than just uncovering all the spaces.

It's a simple idea, but is executed well. The presentation and graphics are all good, but the music - that's Metallica isn't it ? This is surely a first for PICO-8.

Your cart is really crying out for a level select. The first few levels are too easy and I'd really like to skip them. The challenge only really starts from level 5 onwards. How about a difficulty choice / level select linked to a high-score table?

So close, just three tiles afar
Gold can't be much further from ladder
Forever softlocked in software
And nothing else matters
