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

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 :)

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.
