A nice self-contained exploration game. I thought the little round miner was cute and had a fun waddle to his animation. The slow pacing helped with the horror, and made me worry he wasn't going to get into the cart quick enough to escape the bat! Great visual and environmental flourishes throughout for a minimalistic 2D game.
Thanks for submitting Deep in the mines to the jam!
Interesting level design! Creative use of the pickaxe. It was weird how the walking sound would pan from left to right and back instead of staying in the middle. I would've liked faster movement for player, the demon and environmental objects.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.
A little dark to try to see what was going on but it was nice and simple and fun. Good job!
Very nice! The art style was simple but it had a lot of charm, and attention to detail. I also liked the puzzle/chase aspect. My only complaint is that the game is a bit slow and if you die near the end then you have to start all over, so maybe a checkpoint system would have been nice. But overall a very fun and creative game. One of my favorites so far!
Thank you for your feedback. Some kind of a checkpoint system is actually missing.
This was a cool game! I like the art style. The only thing I really recommend changing would be the thumbnail. The game was much better than I expected
I swear to god these mines were not OSHA compliant lol
Mad respect for the tiny animation touches, really added to the vibe. After some struggle with the jumpin/climbing mechanic I did manage to get it down to pretty well, I think some struggle came because at first I didn't realize the idea was that could jump "using the pickaxe at a wall" and just though the jump was randomly on/off. But yeah, nice little game, got to the ending, it was very nice vibe and loved the minecart with the puzzle elements at the end. Good job on this!
I'm glad you escaped from the mines. Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Really interesting mechanic. Well done! and maybe knocking back enemy with pickaxe will be nice.
Simple, yet engaging game, pretty exciting and fun.
Using the pick axe to both mine the rocks and jump when ontop of certain ground type was a pretty creative mechanic! I thought the demon chasing me would never be able catch up until i got stuck on the wall jumping for a bit and then i felt the tension build as i heard its wing flapping closer to me lol. Got stuck at the boulder but pretty solid game for the time given!
I really love the climbing with the pickaxe mechanic! The animations are also really smooth and look great!😁
Atmospheric, simple but slick graphics, and nice FX. Incessant attention of demon adds element of menace. Like it!
Made it to the boulder but died haha
I really enjoyed the character design! the platforming was very cool as well.
