Orbdig by 5Mixer

[raw]
made by 5Mixer for Ludum Dare 48 (COMPO)

A digging game with dynamite and explosions and lasers! Made with Haxe and Kha, using Nape for physics.

Play with chrome. Q/W/E or Left/Middle/Right for the jet, laser and dynamite! (You'll have to unlock the laser before you can use it).

This was great fun.

There's a really nice satisfaction as soon as you become OP (like within 30 seconds or so :D). It's just too bad the new mines are more of the same, and there's no real win or lose. Still probably one of the most fun games I tried for this LD yet.

Fixed the link!

Thanks TinyHatGames. Yep, needs an end game hehe. Considered adding lava and biomes but ran out of time. Thanks for playing!

Cool core dynamics! Could be really nice if extended with additional gameplay.


P.S. Didn't find any instructions for the laser, had to test my way to figuring out that it was activated by 'W'.

Dynamics is nice, but not enough content to be fun. though I spent 10 min here <_>

There wasn't really much gameplay, but it was still really fun flying around and blowing everything up.

Fun,

I find the control somewhat inversed! I keep pointing in the wrong direction to fly...

Ok, that's the first 5 i've given out for fun. Things quickly got out of hand and I was just holding down the dynamite button and obliterating the level. Very satisfying. Movement felt a little unintuitive at first, but as soon as you unlock the laser, it makes sense so you can move and fire at the same time. Well done.

The movement controls were really fun!

Very fun sandbox game! I didn't feel a strong sense of urgency to do anything in particular but it was very fun to just spam dynamite all over the place and carve out the mine. Only thing I'd change is make button presses at the top not trigger the player to move around

Really interesting idea. I think it would be very cool to see the mining mechanic linked with the movement. It was more fun for me to fly around than it was to hold down the mouse to laser something. I wanted to ram into the ore to mine it etc. Great job.

This is very fun to play even though it doesn't have a win/lose condition. Just blowing everything up is satisfying.

Would be very cool and make for a good full game if it had some sort of enemies and variation when buying new mines!

All in all it's a neat compo game!

I had a lot of fun just spewing insane amounts of dynamite everywhere, the laser felt a little underwhelming but maybe I didnt upgrade it enough. I wish there was something cool to great me after you reach the bottom and fall into the endless dark pit. Great game!

This was so much fun! I found that once I had the Dynamite Force and Dynamite speed really high (like it cost 1.6M) I could just press both Dynamite + Laser in front of me, and it was like I was taking a big eraser tool to the whole map wherever I flew. Really fun!

It's very fun and satisfying to play, just spamming dynamite at max speed all over the place

I love how it gets so zany once I can afford enough to make the dynamite super OP lol gg

This is a fun toy ! The lack of clear goal makes it quite uneventful after a while, but it feels good to blow up stuff once you've upgraded enough. Consider adding a simple goal so that players can work toward an objective :)
