The amount of joy I felt upgrading my little foxie to MAXIMUM ROCK DEATH was euphoric. If you ever make it into a full game I really hope it's like a factorio style industrial game because then my life would be complete.

This was such an amazing and addictive game! Really had a great time, spent soo much time playing! Would love to see this game expanded further!! There was one glitch I ran into a few times where I got teleported to the top of the map, not really sure why, but I didn't get trapped, I just did more mining lol!!

Retail Rush - GDKO R1 2025This was fabulous! I really hope that you continue to develop this game. I had so much fun just chillin' and collecting rocks :)

Flower QuestGames like this remind me how great simple gameplay can be when it's polished and cohesive. The amount of time I spent enjoying this game considering I'm trying to rush through 200 games says a lot about how much you not only nailed the prompt but made something really fun! That's five stars across the board from me!

T-minus Ten SecondsI played a whole extra round where I cleaned up the whole screen after I got all the powerups, strangely meditative.
I think this game has a lot of potential to expand on for future rounds.

Shift ShapeHonestly surprised by how good this was just based on how not good the thumbnail is. The progression was nice, good sound effects and no ear blasting music looping in the background. With some story or enemies, just more gameplay, this could easily be in the top 10 that this jam has had to offer (at least personally out of 70ish games).

Monkey MadnessW GAME! Well done my friend!
I Finally became GOD.
Loved the detail with the heart in the corner of the map :D

Blade of Reversal (Round 1)This is one of my favorite genres. The digging mechanics are very well implemented, these sounds and effects are very satisfying. I went through all the levels and pumped up all the abilities)) This is a very cool game. The only thing I would add is that the camera seems to shake a little when the character moves. But this is just a prototype, so the game is excellent! 5/5

Pumpkin Furyso awesome! one of the nicest mining implementations i've played. i love how fast it is, especially once you upgrade. there was a slight bug sometimes when I was really heavily mining and walking around, i would kind of teleport a few tiles in one direction or another. Really really solid entry, nice work!

A train where there are no problemsI 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!

Foxy Farming for BloodGreat 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.

The Seeker and the StoneMaybe 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!
