The title screen doesn't explain WASD for movement. It's not obvious how to win or lose the game. I like the mood/setting

The mood works well, and I think that the game has potential, but I think it lacks of clarity. I didn't get at all what the ropes where here for, so maybe a tutorial would be of a great help :D Overall it's a nice work with a good concept, so good job :)

@mrpouletbzh The ropes were in the game early on. Back then, the plan was to explore caves rather than just dig a passage. But we changed that in the end because it is better understandable and more fun. The ropes are not as useful anymore, but you can use them to explore the caves above you.
Can be useful if you did not find any gold.

I really like the concept of the game! It fits well with the theme, but it lacks a bit of dynamism. Otherwise it's a cool game :)

Is there any way to stop the carts? I hit game over before I have any time to figure anything out.

the Game is pretty fun, it is kinda fast, even though it does not look fast^^ Sounds also make this fun and I like the idea of putting down rails and needing to take new ones from the card. Good Job

@someone Thank you for the feedback. We didn't get that feature in at time and we know the trains are a bit too fast. After you get game over you can explore the game further but to get the train going is too hard. Sorry for that.

Rminds me of that one voxel coop game which name i can't remember right now >.<. With some extra polish, it will be really fun game to play :)

This is a new take on the song "I've been working on the railroad". I laughed at myself the first time I played because I forgot to place the rails and wondered why the train crashed since the roadway was mined clear.

I really like the mood for your game as well as the graphics and the music. Keep it up :)

This one was cool! I liked the sounds and music a ton. I found a glitch that let you mine several blocks with one swing, but tbh, I kinda liked doing it lol. It's one of those bugs that could be a feature.

If your interested, I played it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1019553157 starting at about 00:11:30ish.
