The way you implemented digging (length of digging time and how the rocks broke down) was fun. I also enjoyed seeing the different combinations and the professor's reaction. The only issue I had was not being able to pick up the joystick and get the professor's reaction on it, and it freezing on the professor screen once. Amazing work for 48 hours! The UI/UX is so neat and polished.
