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!
I really enjoyed this game. much more then I thought I would.
Well done.
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.
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?
I would have prefered the mouse buttons being used to dig.
Really pretty and polished game building your own mines was very satisying!
Thanks for playing it! :)
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 !
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.
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.
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 ;)
Good work!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
Wow really awesome game! Good Job!
Thanks for playing it!
Good well polished game! Requires careful planning and I love it!
Thanks very much! I was really pleased that I was able to get as much polish into it to be honest!
