Took me a while but I finished it.
Loved it.
First of all pixel art style, already a big plus.
Secondly, there were some good amount of upgrades. Each upgrade gave their own satisfaction.
Thirdly, The sound effects and background music was just amazing.
A very polished game, it's addictive ahah. Just a curiosity, is there any features that you had to remove because of time constraints or whatever? I've created a topic in the community section "The Features Cemetery" and would love your input :)
Neat game! I really like the artstyle and the cozy atmosphere! Very enjoyable :)
Very nice and polished game. Loved it. Reached the core in 25 days.
Definitely one of the most complete feeling games in the jam! Really addicting loop — kept saying "just one more upgrade" until I beat it haha Only critiques would be that there was no indication when you were hitting a stone you couldn't mine yet and I never had any incentive to buy torches because the headlamp was so good, so maybe headlamp upgrades instead. Either way, super fun to play!
the torches can be used to lure the evil spirit away…
Unbelievable!
I like mining games and this one was no exception. Generally well crafted but energy was a little low for the start
Loved the atmosphere of the game, but I didn't understand the link with the theme (until i read the comment section haha)
Also the lighting is great!
really fun mining game with a nice progression / powerups. I loved the treasures, the ghost in the middle, and the twist when drilling at the end. Beautiful pixel art graphics mixed with a great soothing soundtrack, a relaxing gameplay and some great lighting / sound atmostphere. Really fun and addictive, awesome job!
This was the most addictive game I've played in the jam so far. Really nice gameplay loop. Was the concept of scale the increase in your digging ability and stamina over time? Anyway, I think this could be a successful game / app release.
Thank you for the kind words. The initial concept was linked to gold, as it is typically measured with scales, and this evolved into the idea of scaling your mining operation over time. We also considered incorporating a dragon theme, as dragons have scales and are known to be connected to gold. However, this idea was eventually dropped because lack of time, which explains why the last layer is named 'dragon stone' even though there is no dragons to be found.
Fun and beautiful game.
I enjoyed this game quite a lot. It had a satisfying gameplay loop and I liked the lighting. One small issue was that I bought the shovel after buying the pickaxe (thinking I could switch between them), which meant I lost the pickaxe upgrade.
Very beautiful and enjoyable game. You did a really good job with the spooky ghost, I loved the effects and sounds. The ending is epic too.
Great job!
This is an enjoyable game with a pretty cool vibe. I like the feeling of progression I get every time I finish a day. Overall its a good experience, but I wish that the tutorial was included in the game
Great game, it's really cozy. I just didn't understand why the gold wasn't getting added up to my results of the day.
Thank you for trying out our game! This issue likely comes from the lack of visual and audio feedback when receiving items. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to implement these quality of life improvements into the game.
Really cool game. The walking is just sometimes weird and wobbly.
