Check it out on Juan’s website, if you do download and play it, don’t forget to throw Juan a few bucks / pounds / euros his way on his Kofi site. He does not do it for the money, but it helps to show appreciation for his continued efforts making games for us mere game playing mortals that cant code for toffees! It’s a Bobby Dazzler (also a good name for Juan’s next game!) https://www.usebox.net/jjm/gold-mine-run/
