It has some problem, i think

Unfortunately, I received this message when trying to start the game:


This looks/sounds super cool, but I can't run it! I think you need to distribute extra files in your download.

Tell us when the game is working, I can't wait to play it, it looks really cool!

I can't seem to run your game :(

I think I had something similar when building Unity for webgl - if you haven't already try setting the compression to gzip

It also does not open for me

@mtrc @ruslana @warmful @fizzbark @sheinxy @zimny11 Hey guys, thanks for letting me now! I've rebuild the file and it should work now! :) Sorry it took a while, was very busy with work this week..

Glad to see this one is working!

Interesting concept, I liked the feel of placing a bomb and then having to frantically dig away from it before it explodes! Visually the game really captures that retro aesthetic and has some very nice pixel art (aside from a few assets that seem like they were intended to be placeholders).

The sound felt a little out of place to me, I expected some more arcadey effects but they were pretty realistic and a little loud.

I think the idea is pretty sound but just needs some more iteration and tweaking to get it to a place where it can really shine!

FYI it looks like your latest build works now! :D

The pixel art looks very nice and overall the gameplay is solid! If Spelunky and Motherload had a child, I'd imagine this is close to the result :) My main feedback would be to re-evaluate the auto-scrolling, which introduced a lot of frustration and didn't really mesh well with the gameplay.

Neat game concept! Could use some polish but I think you could do a lot with this.

I enjoy the game !

@boxedmeatrevolution I think it's more the child of "Spelunky" and "Bomberman" :laughing:

The world desctruction work well. I think explosion are too slow, and flame missing animation. The shop is a good idea, but it's too long to get money (or I'm bad at this game :smile: ).
Maybe change the character animation when is near to walls to show that he using an axe instead of bomb. Sometimes is not obvious what action the character will do.
Add more sounds to create a deep atmosphere.

Overall, it's a good idea and a nice work.

Very nice artwork and the gameplay seems solid.
Items would often fall through the level when you dig them out.
Also the window size is too small for the game.

@jaiden-greg Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, I didn't have enough time to swap out all my placeholder assets :sweat_smile:. And I agree with you on the sounds. More arcade-ey effects will probably work better. I'll get on to that!

@BoxedMeatRevolution Yea, I finally got around to re-uploading it! Turned out to be a compression problem... I'm thinking about what you said about the scrolling camera being a bit frustrating and you are probably right. Currently trying to come up with a plan to tackle that. Do you think it will solve the problem if I keep the scrolling, but slow it way down? I'm slightly afraid that the game might become too easy/boring if I take it out completely.

But, then again, there are ofcourse other ways to make it fun again. (Adding a oxygen supply that needs to be refilled or something might be interesting).

@duck-reaction That's good to hear! I also got some real bomberman vibes when I made the cross-explosions :laughing:. As for the slow bombs: if you upgrade your bombs in the shop they will explode faster/ have more reach, so you can more easily work through the lower levels of the caves. That's why the first bombs you get pretty slow. But your comment makes me realize it is time to make the shop more clear and the prices more balanced! Thanks :)

@quite-good Thanks! I was quite broken (exhausted) after submitting the game. But now, with with fresh energy, I'm looking forward to polishing it up and see what it can become :smile:

@someone Yea I noticed the glitchy items.. I'm not completely happy with the behaviour of the items right now anyways, so that's definetly going on the need-to-fix list!

Cool game. I think it would be better if the player used different buttons to dig and plant bombs. I plant a bomb many times by accident. Besides, some small bugs, it was fun to play!

Nice Game!!

I like the graphics, it would be better if it had music.

Its a good match for the theme!

There were times I could not pick up the minerals that I had freed with my bombs. It also was not clear what was gained by mining the minerals.
