Cool game! It's definitely got the addicting clicker formula. Works well and looks good! It feels a bit weird to not be able to mine directly next to me and it just teleports me to the top, but it's not a big deal. I would've loved to hear some satisfying sounds while breaking stuff :)

As a first game, this is a job well done. There are a couple things in here that show some good knowledge even for a simple game.

Impressive for a first game! The feeling of gradually getting more efficient is satisfying, though I wish the progress was a bit faster (my finger got tired)
Great job~

Really good idea, and well executed too. I thought it was funny that you added glow to the buttons. Good game, very little to criticize. Nit-picking probably but it feels like it takes a while as the player to break blocks, so it feels kind of slow at the start. Which is the intention of these kind of games but it felt slower than necessarily. Very good game

God I hate how addicting these games are. I kept it on for about an hour. Really quite fun.

My only comment is I think the reward mechanic for these games comes from watching your progress grow exponentially, and it wasn't immediately clear to me that the more expensive robots were more efficient.

Overall a really neat game. For a first jam game this is absolutely incredible.

Great game. Left it running for about a hour or so, buying new stuff every now and then, truly a proper and true clicker.
Well done!

Surprisingly addictive ! It's very satisfactory to see robots dig deeper for you, I always want to buy more robots.

You should allow the player to let mouse button press to keep digging.

Good entry.

Great job for your first game!

It's a nice casual idle game. The game is very smooth and plays well. It would've been cool if there were some sounds for mining or something. Only thing I have is that the buttons were a little too... "glowy" but I guess it's just the style of the game.

Anyways, nice game! Good job!

Congratulations on your first game!

The game is well executed and really does tap into the clicker game satisfaction. I really like that you can hover over items in the shop to see exactly their effect. That gives some more opportunity for the player to optimize their purchases, which is perfect for a game like this.

Graphics are not the most consistent, but it does its job and looks fine.

Would be nice to also see some progression in the terrain as you get deeper - or some kind of way to judge how far you have dug down. But it's understandable that this wasn't included with the time limit for the jam in mind.

God these games are literal crack. Fun and I just put some music in the background I'm working on getting that last pickaxe as we speak. Good job :)

Very nice idler, i particularly like the idea of the robots. Sad thing is that there is no sound but i guess you ran out of time, but a great sound design could have improved a lot the mood of the game.
A very fun game to play overall :D

Really cool game mechanics and the robots are coded very well. The game makes a lot of fun, but one thing is missing. Music. A simple bgm or just brick sound would have made the game even better.

Very good idea for idle! Limits of column is strange, because it is mine and you can dig any dirrection
It's fun that it looks like minecraft)))
Adding sounds and polishing will do great this game

I'm little disapointed by the last pickaxe, it's so expensive I hoped it was very powerful like a nuclear bomb :laughing: :bomb:
Anyway, I let the game running during a long time, it was very fun to see an army of robots working for me !

Pretty nice game, could use more content, but within the timeframe it's hard, I know.

If I squint my eyes and use some of my imagination, I'd say it looks like a drill.
