Very nice collection game! The mine theme fits organically with what kind of game this is. My favorite aspect has got to be the difficulty curve though. Just by adding an extra mineral per level, the game gets more challenging in two ways: better minecart positioning is required to maximize collection speed, and since the train gets longer, you have slightly less time to react to incoming zombies. Well done!
My only feedback is on the train's deceleration. It felt to me that it maybe decelerated a bit too slowly, meaning I had to constantly adjust my carts' position.
Thank you for playing and for the positive feedback! I agree, the deceleration might be a bit too long, I’ll adjust it to be shorter. :-)
You can see how much love went into this one. A unique concept, never seens anything like this. Good learning curve and amazing premises. If I were to improve one thing, it would be the game feel. It feels a bit off. Slightly Rigid. Top20 overall for sure.
Wow, thanks a lot for the kind words! It’s nice to see such a positive review! This game was an all-nighter, so the bit about love may not be wrong. :-)
I was surprised at how much this got its hooks into me. Having to juggle filling up the minecarts with keeping the zombies at bay makes it pretty compelling! The only thing that stuck out was that the sound effect for mining a chunk of ore is quite harsh on the ears.
Thank you for playing! I’m glad that you enjoyed it! :-) I agree, that mining sound is way too loud! I already fixed it in the development build.
Not sure why but it took a while to understand how to play the game. I think the controls on the game's page confused me a bit because I was not sure if it was "down" as in "down arrow or S" or if it was "down" is in a direction "down in the minecart you will find this". Once I understood it better it was easier to play.
Thanks for the feedback! I now clarified the controls on the game page. :-)
