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)

As soon as I saw a mole with a gun, I knew this was going to be an incredible submission. However, nothing could have prepared me for how incredible it would be.
The movement? Smooth AND quick - no easy feat. So much fun and fluidity without feeling bogged down.
The design? Great mechanics, from the phases, shop, and mining to the enemy spawning and combat systems. Clearly a lot of thought went into designing these parts in particular.
The artistic choices? Simply stunning. No other words, and this applies to the music, the sound design, and the visuals. Every new animation blew my mind and the soundtrack was just so much fun.
You guys have a top 10 submission on your hands. Best of luck :)
Thank you! That really means a lot. I couldn't find anyone to team up with in time so this is all solo work, I'm glad all the time I spent making things "smooth" goes noticed.
Well the mole might have a crystal but this game is a pure gem ! Everything is polished to a professional level that is astounding considering it was only made in a week, this is so good ! From the bounciness of the character to the superb graphics and screen shakes on hit, everything just feels so satisfying to play ! I can hardly find anything to complain about right now so... Congratulations, this is a masterpiece !
This just made my day, thank you so much!
Amazing game. Super graphics and audio. Fun to play
This is amazing! The graphics and audio is just perfect
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Jam Winner.
The production value on this and the level of juiciness and polish for a jam is simply incredible!
Would have loved for the music to keep going in-game though, it's very catchy ^^
Thank you so much! What music are you referring to?
The banger music from the main menu. It stops as soon as you hit Play, I would have loved if it kept going, even if at a lower volume.
Ahh man that would have been cool, something to keep in mind if I want to do an update later on
Glad you liked the music though!
Out of all the games i've played until now, this is the best one! Apart from the camera being a bit too high above the player, the game loop, sounds and effects feel good and make a polished look. Really impressive my friend!
Top 10 incoming
The game style and also the idea make for some hours much fun.
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.
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.
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
Very impressive, I have no idea how you did this in a week. Loved the art and music, great job!
I'll give you a hint: It involves sleeping very little. Like.. Very very little ahah
Thank you so much!
That's insane graphic, astounding, i like it so much. Now it's ur turn to try & vote us. Thank u
Fair enough! Thank you for the rating
Feels like a borderline complete game with how much content, system and mechanics it has while still sticking with the theme! great work :D
Very polished, I absolutely loved you UI and sounds. The main menu felt super nice especially. Great Jam Submission
Thank you so much!
Really well done, especially like the effects and screen shake, great game feel.
Thank you!
10/10 holy cow this is amazing. this is mind blowing. someone made terraria in 7 days
Ahah thank you so much!
This game looks amazing and it's extremely polished, I loved it!!
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
Thank you so much! It is indeed all made in a week, but at the cost of a looot of sleep
