It's a bit hard to control the drill tho, but overall it's a neat game
Only small piece of feedback that I could give is that it would be awesome if the fuel and mineral icons themselves filled up as the number increased. Right now they stay the dark brown color the whole time but it would help for glancing at them if they matched the number next to them. (100 would be full fuel and 1000 for the minerals)
PS: The music is oppressing me xD
Addicting game. I got off at the portal to get the diamond, but left the engine running or something. When I walked up to the diamond the towing service came and hauled me off into oblivion haha.
Really fun to explore and experiment with the drilling machine. The controls are crisp, the overall game feel is very nice. A brilliant job! :fuelpump:
Some game design remarks:
- It would useful to have some sort of indicator for the side drills. The camera setting makes it tricky to hit to stones (?) sometimes.
- As a player, I would have liked to have some goal that keeps me going. For example, a Depth Meter which shows how deep Doug dug. :laughing:
Anyways, I really loved it. Great job, my favourite so far!
The visuals, camera, audio, UI are all very good! This is impressive.
I loved how everything is explained when needed.
Thanks for the game 💕
It's relaxing.
Two things I thought though is, getting money seemed like it took a while and also the probes actually using them felt tedious as you have to wait till the lever comes up before they are usable.
Really great entry :D
Спасибо! ^_^
