After a solid week of tweaking and testing it's gotten there; "Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck!" is complete.
After the first "Shovel Duck", Bill gets a message. Their late Uncle has left them a gold mine... they should go dig it. Getting to the mine is one thing, getting into the mine in another... This is a platform/ adventure with some puzzling aspects. Nothing too complex on the puzzling and adventure side, but some of the platforming can be a little more challenging. It's mostly timing. Except when it comes to the worms and fire. Those things have a mind of their own. This will be my 2nd paid game ($2.50) rather than "pay what you want" ... we'll see how that goes.
Thank you to everyone here who offerred advice and tips. These boards are a great resource and the AGD/MPAGD community is a friendly and helpful one. Long may it stay that way. To tie-in with Shovel Duck II, I'm working on a few bonus games that will be added as free DLC. Mostly ideas I had that could not be constrained by 48K but should be explored rather than dismissing them to the dusty trunk of abandoned games.

Shovel Duck II: A Minor Panic! Released 28-05-24
Added to the Shovel Duck II : Dig Duck! downloads. The first bonus game, Shovel Duck II: A minor Panic! 40 levels of arcade worm trapping action; in the vein of "Space Panic" and other "dig a hole and have things fall into them" type games.
Animated gif above shows the early development. It is based on the Shovel Duck II : Dig Duck assets, but a lot of additional work has gone on to tidy up and improve the graphics since the animation was recorded.
It is free to anyone who purchased Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck.
I'm going to have a break and then start work on the next Bonus game.. which should be something a little different...

Going out of sequence (as an idea was put it my head and the only way to get ideas out of your head is to commit them to code form), I have just released the 3rd Bonus game for Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck!
Game 3 is Shovel Mouse One: A Mousive Panic!
Based on the arcade game Space Panic! you dig holes, trap skulls and make them fall to their doom!
(I'll go back to work on bonus game 2... no-one distract me :-D :-D )
