The game is great, I'm right stuck in it, I'm 100% done. Very addictive gameplay and very cool graphics)

I loved this game. It has such a nice sense of progression and it's so fun to just destroy the whole screen once you get all the god tier upgrades. This was such a satisfying game, I would've absolutely played more if there was more of it. I think some music and some more involved mechanics would really make this game shine. Great job on this I had a lot of fun playing thru it!

Great work, feels great to play. The main mechanic of mining ore is so satisfying, and I love the addition of the upgrade mechanic on the laser. I'm definitely anticipating a top 10 finish and I'd really love to see the game developed further.

I forgot to say the game reminds me a lot of Motherlode, a god tier flash game from the mid-2000s

Maybe my favorite game so far just in terms of gameplay experience. The progression felt almost perfect. Every upgrade, except for maybe the movement ones, felt impactful but not overpowered. Never did the grind become too tedious or time consuming and by the time I was razing the entire final level it felt well-earned instead of a byproduct of really op upgrades. The amount of juice was perfect and made it insanely satisfying. There was definitely some lacking variety but I'd love to see more stuff in later rounds, assuming you get through and want to continue work on this. Amazing job!

Super juicy mechanics. Great progression. I got all the upgrades and it was super fun just spinning around and chewing up the rocks and ore.

Awesome job!

The game looks great, love the color palette you chose. The mining feels great and smooth. I like how powerful you can get after purchasing all the upgrades. Looking forward to this game if you decide to expand it in future rounds. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing. At first I didn’t want to make the player as powerful as it’s now, but I realized that that was a big part of the fun, so I decided last minute to implement the last 5 upgrades that make the player op :D

I hope I get to round 2, then if the theme fits I will definelty expand on this idea

Perfect progression! Very rewarding and satisfying, got me hooked too

Developer

Thanks for playing, I also got hooked every time I tested my game xD

Such an addicting game, I love it! And need more levels!!! The mining, collecting, and skill tree is such a good combination!! 

Developer

If the next round theme fits, I’ll probably expand on the idea, so stay tuned :)

This kind of game gets me hooked xD

I think the mining and collecting mechanics were great and made this fun to play. The upgrades were also good and related to the first. I wasted too much time cleaning up the entire level before moving on. Fun game!

Thank you for the kind feedback. After submitting I realized that you can maybe softlock yourself on the first level, if you spend the iron on the skills and not progression, so I hope this didn’t happen to you. 

Submitted

Almost, but I noticed before I messed it up.
