This almost seems like it was made for me. I **LOVE** getting lost in heavy fogs in games, looking for things, trying to trek my way back to a safe point from the middle of nowhere. I'm also a HUGE sucker for low-poly model work. The gun is beautiful and the spinning gear on Driller was a nice touch.

Two issues: The lack of SFX was kind of a bummer (even a background droning would have made things 10x cooler!) and the lack of crystal trees in certain directions made it *extra* difficult to navigate. I imagine it's procgen, so I get it, but maybe some algorithm to make sure there was a tree for every X mmiles would have been better.

But that's it, I gave this game a big score. You practically put me there on that planet. I felt lost in a good way for a little while and it's my happy place. I want to see this improved on.

This is a really nice entry! It has some really cool graphical features which definitely helped in setting the scene for the space the game was set in! I saw that a lot of detail was added into every element of the world to make it more immersive, so massive well done!

It was a little slow to begin with, and coupled with the lack of SFX and music tracks, it made it feel a bit empty, but those are only small things which I'm sure you could easily incorporate given some more time! Awesome entry! :D

Nice game. It has some great mystery story potential.
Love the start screen, it's very neat.

Great work. It looks great, has a great atmosphere and the gameplay is solid. A few of little gripes: unlike @seafishelle, I don't find getting lost in heavy fog very fun! I'd love something just to help point me back to the drill. Another nitpick was that I didn't enjoy clicking 100 times to unload the cubes I'd just mined. Maybe you could let me click and hold to save my fingers the strain? It think it also takes too many cubes to hit 100%. My patience didn't last long enough to get there. It's only minor criticism, though. Really well done overall, it feels like a really well constructed game.

Nice work, was good to play! The atmosphere created by the fog was great, I felt if I travelled too far I would lose where the drill was. Would have been cool to put all my collected gems into the drill, individually clicking for 0.2% was a bit of a pain. Good work though, I enjoyed it!

Great looking game!
I really like the low-poly graphics.

It would have been nice to have auto fire and auto feed for the drilling since it was a bit tedious to click a total of 1000+ times ;) Especially for the feeding a hold down function would be really good.

The ending was... well... unexpected :D

Really cool sci-fi effects. Mineral collection mechanic is fun in itself, the only problem is that it gets quite repetitive after a while. Also some indication to the drill would be nice, I got lost in the fog a few times. Overall a very interesting game!

Lol, all of my siblings were gathered around waiting their turn.

Neat little game with easily understandable mechanics.

However the "Limited visibility" played a cruel joke on me. No my first playthrough by the time I charged the Driller to 90% all the nodes I was avare of ran out of power boxes. I suppose there was another node that got all the respawns, but because of the poor visibility I could not find it.

Though I though that maybe the respawn rate slowed down as you were powering the machine, so on my second playthrough I decided to collect 500 nodes before returning to the Digger, and as I managed to collect the required amount I had no idea where the damned machine was.

Had to slowly back away from the node till the dust tarted obscuring it but it was still clearly in sigh. Then look around and if the Digger was not in sight - return to the node, pick another direction and repeat the process.

The endin cutscene was cool. Though a bit of expected one.

Cool ambiance, would be really immersive with some sound! A bit hard to navigate and bit tedious to click that many times though.

I really liked the color grading of this game, sets the ambience greatly.
My feedback is the sense of direction, maybe add a small "horizontal radar" like the one in Fallout 3/NV/4 so I can tell if there's something in the distance that calls my curiosity.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Great mood and good graphics, but the number of cubes needed is way too high, and it's too easy to get lost.

Very well done , got lost in the desert for awhile then made my way back and found the drill again. I got the drill to %100 :-) Very well made and runs so smooth in browser, great work!

I like the models, but as others have said, I think some sort of way to tell where you are, or some variation in terrain would make the game much more enjoyable. Fun nonetheless!

This is cool! I like that it is a bit like a first person clicker. I think there's good potential to expand on the story and the repetition as a mechanic. I have to come clean though, I did use a turbo script to click the refuel button :P

It was really polished with great graphics, but after a while i just could not keep going, it got really boring really quick

Great graphics and style. Damn fog! :laughing:

Nice simple mechanic and good execution for the jam!

Hope this will be interesting for you to see :)

Ahhh, i feel Dune vibes here. Great!

As some other people have said, this game could benefit from sound effects and better terrain generation (hills or different types of cubes, etc). I liked the atmosphere and simple graphics. Great job!
