How does your game fit the theme?

Great game, The rythem mining machanic is awesome, especially when you start to get good at it. the art style is simpel and nice looking. Managed to get to saving 13 people.
Great game. Keep it up♥
Hey, great high score! Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it a lot!
You got a good idea of digging mechanic, it is interesting but the execution is a bit to punishing for the player, it's required a bit too much precision to proceed through the early level, which make it felt more frustrating than challenging for me. There are also some bug that generate the miner on the first floor too, another bug that I found is that sometime you can't just restart the game. The graphic are cute and clean tho.
Thank you for your feedback! I will address all of these issues in patches after the voting period.
I liked it a lot. The rhythm mechanic was really unique and fun to use and the style is great. Great work
Thank you!
It's fun to play
Thank you!
Nice game! Got till level 7, bit hard sometimes but overall nice and simple puzzle :)
Thank you! Yeah I will definitely re-balance the difficulty after the voting period is over.
Love the way you have to time your clicks with the rectangles orbitting around the drill! It's a really cool spin on mining down. My only gripe would be the feedback you get when mining. Sometimes the blocks would shake other times it wouldn't, otherwise nice game!
Hey! Thank you for the feedback! I didn’t encounter that bug so I’ll definitely do a bit of playtesting when I have a moment to try and figure out what’s up.
I like your game! I only had some trouble with drilling but I really like it!
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah the drilling definitely should’ve been easier.
kinda hard to drill through, but pretty nice.
Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely balance the drilling to be easier in the future.
Very pretty, I think that it is kind of hard to drill through things?
Yeah I definitely made it too hard. I got used to the drilling after doing it so much whilst testing I didnt balance well for new players. Thank you for your feedback!
Really enjoyed the visuals and the audio, great job!
I'm not sure if it was just me, but I the resolution of the web player was not enough to cover the whole screen, so I wasn't able to escape the tutorial or see all of the text, thought I'd let you know! :)
Thank you for your feedback! I have been having issues with the web build. I'll try pushing a patch since not being able to see the tutorial is pretty game breaking lol.
At least you could get a web build working, mine keeps failing! Haha.
Very unique Idea with great mechanics...liked it...
Thank you!
Interesting mining mechanic!
Thank you!
Liked this one! I had some resolution issues that I worked around by increasing the game window size in browser, but was able to play after that. I liked the timing minigame with the drill, and rescuing miners was a simple and fun premise. I think the timing is a bit strict; maybe the two holes that have to overlap could be bigger or move slower to make it easier to time. I got up to needing to rescue 5 miners before I missed too many overlaps and ran out of fuel.
Overall, this was a solid entry. Great job on the submission!
Yeah I had some issues with the web build, and the difficulty balancing could definitely use tweaking. Thank you for your feedback!
That was a fun/hard reflex game! I only won because the miner spawned in the top row! haha.
Yeah I felt that it was only fair to give some miners to the player for free haha. Thank you for your comment and feedback!
I liked your game! The music fits great here. Also an interesting mechanic in my opinion, although it becomes difficult to play towards the end
Thank you for your comment! Yeah the difficulty balancing was really tricky after play testing it myself so much. Thank you for the feedback.
The mechanic of drilling is too hard. it would be nice if it was more forgiving and the game had more variety. But it's a nice game that suits the theme quite well :)
Thank you for your comment! I'll do a bit more balancing when I update it after the voting period.
the drill didn’t drill so i ran out of fuel apparently, then it made me restart from the beginning
You can only drill when the two rectangles orbiting you overlap.
The game is fun once I understood the how to play. I don't know what engine the game was made in, but it didn't scale with my resolution so I had to zoom in for the whole game to appear in the viewport.
Yeah I was having some issues with the web build, so the scaling freaks out sometimes. Thanks for your feedback!
Game is very fun
Thank you!
Nice game
Thank you!
