How does your game fit the theme?
The game is divided into two phases: the preparation phase and the storm phase.
The preparation phase is the calm, where the player mines and trades to prepare; before the storm comes and chaos happens.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes (with some help from zapsplat.com for a few sound effects)

One of my favourite so far.

Incredible work. Feels better than some full releases I've played. Great amounts of polish and the art and music are fantastic.

Submitted

Awesome game! I think I would've liked if the mining was based on the direction you were pointing instead of where your mouse is. Some more guns or other weapons would have been really cool too. The art style is great and the music is great.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I did initially try mining based on the direction instead of the mouse position but I didn't like it that much, felt a bit awkward to me but maybe I should have played with it more

I had some plans for other weapons but unfortunately they had to be cut because it took so long to make all the other systems

Submitted

Very impressive, I have no idea how you did this in a week. Loved the art and music, great job!

Developer(+1)

I'll give you a hint: It involves sleeping very little. Like.. Very very little ahah

Thank you so much!

Submitted

Developer(+1)

Fair enough! Thank you for the rating

Submitted

Feels like a borderline complete game with how much content, system and mechanics it has while still sticking with the theme! great work :D

Submitted

Very polished, I absolutely loved you UI and sounds. The main menu felt super nice especially. Great Jam Submission

10/10 holy cow this is amazing. this is mind blowing. someone made terraria in 7 days

Developer

Ahah thank you so much!

Submitted

This game looks amazing and it's extremely polished, I loved it!!

Submitted

This is the most polish i've seen so far! If this is all made in the week then hats off to you all! Excellent submission

Developer

Thank you so much! It is indeed all made in a week, but at the cost of a looot of sleep

Submitted

The logo and the title screen are awesome ! 👌

Really impressive. Addictive and fun to play as well as polished. Good job. Also love the placing test popups.

A fantastic entry with huge props to the artwork. I ran into an issue where I bought a pickaxe and because my inventory was full it vanished into the aether. Other than that I wanted to keep playing and want to see more!
10/10 would get bamboozled out of a golden pickaxe by a sentient crystal again

Developer

Uh ooh. Are you sure your inventory was full and not just your hotbar? (You can access your inventory with tab)

Not that it's impossible that I did an oopsie somewhere, I'm just surprised if you managed to fill the entire inventory.

Thank you for the kind words!

Submitted

omg this game has so much juice!! Really polished, liked it a lot

Submitted

Damn this one is the winner im calling it. Keep it up!

Amazing art style, really cool and funny concept. The only thing I would say is missing are some explanations for specific items for example "What does berry tree do". Maybe there was explanation but I've missed it. Also the quit button is bugged :P

Anyway great and funny game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I purposefully made the choice to not say too much about how specific items work, to make discovering things more satisfying. But I completely understand the frustration, I think I could have found a better compromise with a bit more time

As for the berry sapling, you can plant it in the ground and after one day, it will grow into a berry bush that you can harvest

Also you probably know already but you can hover over items to see their description

Submitted

Yea I managed to see item description, but for berry maybe I was confused or something. Anyway at 1st I thought that berry can heal your crystal from time to time if you place it close by it haha. Anyway fun game after all :D

Submitted

Amazing Art style and interesting ideas !

Developer

Thank you!
