Kind of therapeutic to play for a while, but then you spend ages collecting data for a paper only to get rejected, twice, and you remember that this isn’t therapeutic, this is what its like being a scientist, and you scream. Grateful only that you didn’t enter the health care profession. Good game.
Thanks for the comments and for playing! I hope your paper got accepted at some point :) I wanted to have some reflection on this all-paper-publishing-cycle, but keep it somewhat light since it should be a game, after all.
awesome game! the controls are straightforward and the gameplay is a challenging action /puzzler, I like the upgrades that encourage more mining, overall I enjoyed playing this one! keep it up!
Thank you very much for the kind words :)
It was fun playing! I enjoyed the tutorial section dialogue!
Thank you for playing :)
Pretty fun, adding sounds would make it a tad better though!
Thank you for playing! Indeed, I didn't plan my time well to also add the sounds, so it is what it is now :/
This is a really cool casual game, it has an interesting design and funny dialogues! I enjoy it)
Thank you for the feedback and for playing the game! Glad that you enjoyed the dialogue :D
I really enjoyed playing your game! It had a lot of polish, and I kept wanting to play more. I had to restart it once, and then realised you can't actually skip the tutorial, which was both funny and frustrating. Other than that, this was a lot of fun!
Thank you very much for the kind comment and for enjoying the game. Indeed, for the tutorial, I wanted to ensure that people would see it anyway because I had players getting lost in some details of the game because they skipped the tutorial. Hopefully, it didn't frustrate you too much :)
Very polished, the gameplay loop is nice and satisfying, the only thing I feel is missing is some audio feedback when you do or complete some action. The game looks great overall!
Thank you for the feedback :) Indeed, I did not have time (or prioritize it correctly) to add the sound effects - I miss them a lot, also. Thanks for playing and taking the time.
Dialogue options, upgrades, a tutorial... Very ambitious! I only wish the actual publication process were this quick :)
Agreed :D I originally though about making a "peer review" system after the publication, but I decided to scrap it to have a more finished game at the end. Thanks for trying it out :)
Haha one reviewer who says everything is fine as is, another who wants you to include all of their publications as references and one that gives actual useful feedback
