The concept fits the theme really quite well, and the game turned out great! Lovely levels, great sounds and music, and a surprisingly polished experience. Great job :)

Very cozy game and I actually enjoy hammering those silly rocks, even though it's not the main objective. Feels very satisfying.

Totally reminds me of Fossil Fighters! It's like the cleaning game! Love it! Music is lovely as well, and sounds are very satisfying!

Fun little game! Love the art. I would be neat if there was some fossil info included like the region found or what era the dino is from. Sometimes the tools are in the way when I am trying to smash things and it switches the tool I am trying to use.

Thanks for playing! There  are definitely some UX issues and missing polish this time around. Having fossil info was planned, but never got in, sadly.

I will try to push a post-jam next week with some of these fixes.
