That was the first game I thought of, but no, that's not it.

C64 games list you can find 17,000+ of the c64 games on the isozone in one download or any place you can find a rom (thought it was 16 but glanced at it wrong)

Thanks, I found it on that site! Had a different one with c16 games, but that one was so hard to navigate I decided to ask instead of browsing through thousands of games.
And the name of the game was...Varmit. Awesome. It has really complex gameplay. I was right about most things, except for the pickaxe and dynamite. That must have been a different game. I think Varmit was aiming at accessibility, so the devs decided they didn't need those gimmicky features.
Thanks to everyone who replied!

I just remembered one of the first games I've played, but I can't recall its name. Maybe someone who has played games on the C16 can help me out. It's possible that the game was available on the C64 as well, I'm not sure.
So what I remember is the following:
I would appreciate any help. It's not like I'm desperate to find out what the game was called, but it'd be nice to play it again since it's one of the first memories about computer games I have. What was your first game, do you still remember its name?
EDIT: Found the game, it's Varmit! Thanks to all who helped. Quite funny how I remember it, it had a lot more detail in my memory. But that's just how things go I guess.
And a giveaway for Thomas was Alone, definitely a game worth playing if you don't own it yet.
