Very well done game!

Submitted

Addictive progression system, good art style. The random cave generation felt very natural and organic. And there's enough variety to not become boring too quickly.

Some feedback: Firstly, I wish I could have purchased bombs. Secondly, I would have liked to know the breakdown of how much each mineable item sold for, so that I could prioritize which ores to go after. Lastly, I don't know if I just didn't find it in a chest or something, but an upgradeable flashlight would have been a welcome addition.

All in all, great game.

Oh! That is great. Super fun and addictive gameloop. Very nice entry to the jam.

Really good job. Impressive work for only 7 days. The random level generation was a great idea and mining felt rewarding. The style is also really nice and overall matches the theme really well. Great work

This was very fun to play! I think it's a really cool feature that the level changes every day. Everything is very well made, you did a really great job :)

Submitted(+1)

I think you did a great job of translating terraria and mining games like it into a format with a discrete end goal which is satisfying to play for the whole stretch of the game.  The level generation made mining and exploration fun and I think having chests and gems be visible was a great choice to give me an idea of where to mine towards next.

finished the game in 5 days, very cool game, but you can bomb your way to the end

Fun game with lots of effort put into it I can tell. The mining ability didn't always work but maybe that was just my pc. Other than that, well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing! and thats strange? its probably not your pc and just a bug with how the mining works sorry that you experienced that.  Thank you for the kind words!

Really cool game had a lot of fun playing your game and particularly enjoy the mechanics and the graphics. Really ambitious for a game jam :) . I cant wait to see what else you will do with the game in the future.

Developer

Well-designed chill game.

Nice mining game! I really liked the game mechanics, but I would love to see some animations, sound and a cooldown when you want to teleport back, because that felt missing. Overall a great entry!

Submitted(+1)

Great game. I love this kind of games. Just keep digging for treasure! For a longer motivation there could have been maybe more different things to collect or different abilities. But thinking about it now you do have a lot of stuff for a 1 week development. Compared to yours, our game only has the same game loop 

Developer

Thank you so much! yeah we tried to create as many reasons to keep digging to get to the bottom. and yeah we agree however, if you are interested, we are definitely going to be making a full version of the game after the jam so feel free to keep watch for updates on the game! =) thats so cool ill check your game out too =D

Nice gameplay loop , Getting upgrades felt good also nice feedback when mining. 

Developer

thank you for the review! glad to hear you enjoyed the gameplay loop =D

Submitted(+1)

Love that you made the code and art from scratch! I really like the minecraft feel. I liked how the audio was mixed in, it really made it feel like two different levels. The gameloop was compelling. Would've personally needed some more resources / items in the beginning, I ran out quickly and got stuck. But I'm also not great at these games so :)

Hi thanks for playing and the kind words. happy u enjoyed and got into our little game we really appreciate it

This gotta be one of the funniest entries!  I reached day 16, and i feel i haven't been done yet with the game!  I liked the silence from the mines, and that you added treasures aswell,  great work!!

Developer(+1)

Great game! I had the most fun! love little miners hat!

Developer

glad you enjoyed and had some fun. thanks for playing

Submitted

I had a great time playing this game! It had a really addicting game loop, simple mechanics and great graphics! the only things i noticed it that it would have been nice for the mine to flip direction  hen walking to the left, my character appeared to moonwalk haha! Good job on the submission!

Developer

glad you enjoyed and liked the loop and the reason you didnt turn is because the miner faces where the pickaxe is so the miner faces the way he is going to mine . But nontheless thanks for playing
