Really solid and polished game you have here! Controller works really well and bonus points for adding support for it. I did kind of mess myself up in the beginning and had to start over because I didn't realize that ladders were limited haha. I do kind of wish I could hold the button down to have the guy keep picking away instead of having to press the button for every swing. It's okay in a shorter experience like this but if it were a game I was playing for hours and hours my fingers would be killing me after all the button mashing!

This could keep me entertained forever lol. Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1569991724?t=00h52m07s

Wow! Thanks so much for playing and streaming it! It was a lot of fun to watch you enjoying the game... In case you didn't go back to it, the level 5 pickaxe allows you to mine gems, but they are few and far between - also lower down in the map ;) I got a load of great ideas from your stream, including a depth meter and minimap being useful tools (I already had waypoints on my list of ideas!). To complete the game you need to collect 5 gems, and then you get a nice results screen :D

Ah that makes sense! Yeah, those additions would be cool. I really liked it and am glad you enjoyed the stream!

Very cool game! A lot of polish and it’s obvious there was a lot of care taken when making this

Thanks very much! Yes I quite enjoyed making it, and although I didn't use all of the time available to me in the jam (I had to swap to the Kenney Jam for the last couple of days) I was pleased with how much polish I was able to add.

Completely understandable man, I also did a whole other jam right in the middle of this one. You did a great job!

I really like the art style altho the controls are really annoying for keyboard. Very polished.

Lenard trips, gets dizzy

Slick GamesDeveloper2 years ago

Sorry to hear that you didn't like the controls. I think that having the ability to remap the keys would be a good addition, but out of interest, what key layout would you have preferred?

MiloTheDuckSubmitted2 years ago

I would have prefered the mouse buttons being used to dig.

Really pretty and polished game building your own mines was very satisying!

Great game ! I almost lost track of the time. Ther were some visuals artefact but i don't understand why they appear. I had a lot of fun. Good job !

Slick GamesDeveloper2 years ago

Glad you enjoyed it. Were the artifacts in the ground tiles? I saw some glitching in the stream that RonJonesTheArtist has posted up above - is that the thing you encountered also?

Great game overall. The overall gameplay loop was pretty fun but it was getting a little tedious climbing back up since I would be going pretty deep. I would've wished there was a "back to surface" kind of button.

Lunch Time Get Down!

Slick GamesDeveloper2 years ago

Thanks for playing! That's a pretty good suggestion... maybe I could add some sort of fast travel system that was expensive to buy, so it would only be available at a later point in the game... 🤔

Good graphics, good sound, and good gameplay loop.

I feel like since it's not focused around platforming, Guy's jump could afford to be a little floatier.

Slick GamesDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Yes I suppose I could get away with a looser jump, but I kind of like having it more like a platformer... I even added coyote time ;)
