This game made for DinoJam4 within the span of 2 weeks (plus the bonus weekend)
The jam themes include Dinosaurs (of course), as well as Big vs Small.
Themes are incorporated with dinosaur fossils that come in big and small, as well as a set of big and small tools for one to choose from for mining. Are you more cautious and using the small hammer and brush all the time, or do you want to mine fast with the large mallet and use the hammer for detail.

Credits for the project are listed in game
