Literally the perfect game. I don't want to live my life anymore... I just want to incessant hum of the drill to consume me
W GAME! Well done my friend!
I Finally became GOD.
Loved the detail with the heart in the corner of the map :D
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
so 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!
very fun, almost addictive, made me forget i have another 190 games to vote, very good game!
This reminded me of an old game called Motherload. I kept digging and digging and the progression felt so organic! Love the work and I hope you will keep working on this gem. Cannot wait to see larger area to dig, more resources and maybe some element of danger.
Satifying gaem
Very goood and satisfying gameplay! Loved it )
One of my favorite game jam games I've played. Simple but addicting
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!
this game is TOO GOOD
Crunchwrap Supreme levels of crunch. Art, Sounds, Mechanics, everything 10/10
Thank you for playing <3
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!
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
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!!
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.
Almost, but I noticed before I messed it up.
