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!!
Im glad you liked it. The glitch has something to do with the collision detection. There seems to be a problem when trying to push the player out of the block, it chooses the wrong direction. Will definitely fix in a newer version. Thanks for reporting
I love this game so much! Not gonna lie, played it for almost half an hour and got every upgrade. I was a rock killing machine. I'm not even sure why it was so additive, but it was. Perfect score. I want more!
This was fabulous! I really hope that you continue to develop this game. I had so much fun just chillin' and collecting rocks :)
Games 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!
Thank you very much for playing and the good feedback. When I’m At my Pc tonight, I’ll check out your game aswell, because I think I didn’t get to yours in the last play sessions.
I 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.
Honestly 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).
Im glad you liked the experience. Yeah, I do agree, the thumbnail is not my strong point :D It could definitely use some improvement
