Nice! I enjoyed playing it for a while, it is very relaxing.

For a bit more challenge, maybe the energy could be spent a bit faster? I was never even close to 0.

@loig Yeah balancing is always problem for me :D Originally it was draining much faster so it wasnt playable then i decided to make it just Chill mining game. Anyway Thanks for playing! :)

Could do with some more threatening/more purposeful enemies, but pretty good overall.

Procedural generation can be a bit tricky to balance, anyway i had fun, it's intuitive and you have several elements inside the game, congrats for your entry !

I had to take a look since this game has the same name as mine! Nice simple concept, since I skipped the tutorial, it took a bit to figure out the energy thing and then after that it seemed relatively easy to never run out or die. The smooth movement was a nice touch even though in reality you are locked into a grid!

And they said you can't make a procgen puzzle...you showed then wrong! Very solid entry, I wished it was bit more challenging. Other that, very good entry.

Wow, I've played your game and I have to say, that's a really good job you've made there ! It is really nice to play, I love the art-style, the music fits extremely well with it ! The game feels complete and it's really great for a jam game, I hope you're still working on it, maybe add more ores to mine, more types of enemies, etc...

Here is the feedback I can give you :
- You should make at the start of the floor a way to recognize more the player, as sometimes I was a little bit lost. Maybe make it glow a bit and have the other be a bit darker in the beginning for some seconds and then put it bakc to normal ?

Anyways, I really enjoyed it, I hope you'll continue on working on it, have a nice day ! :)

Great game! I thought the energy could have drained a bit faster though.

The art is really beautiful, and the with the tutorial the game is easy to understand. I just wish it would be easier to locate ourselves at the beginning of a new level, the sprite of the player blends in really well with the level and it is sometimes hard to spot. Otherwise really good entry ! :slight_smile:

Took me a few tries to understand how to manage my fuel, but then I managed to get them valuable Red Gems by a truckload! Awesome music!

I like the music! It gets easy, it would be a bit better if it got harder. But great game, anyway!

Good music! I liked the fact that I was able to prioritize what I should get on each level and I felt in control. For example; I collected almost every time all the fuel, because without it game would end. I also collected only the biggest crystal clusters and only avoided enemies. My run ended in level 16 with 2336 crystals where enemy got to me before I could find where I was. Nice game.

You should always let the player skip the intro logos! Really sick beats tho afterwards so I forgive you :sunglasses: The tutorial screen is kinda confusing and it's weird how you can rotate the player in it, made me think the game was bugged or something and having to press escape and then quit to get out of the tutorial screen isn't very user friendly either.

Once you start playing it's pretty easy to grasp the mechanics though and it's fun enough. Other than that I think the default volume is too loud. GJ!

This game is hard. You should to reset the timer when I go to the next room

Music, sounds and graphics are excellent

Pretty cool graphics and audio, especially the music! I liked the element of strategy involved in collecting crystals, fuel and enemy busters (the blue pill?). However, since the objective of the game was how deep I could travel, I simply ignored the crystals and the enemies and just made a beeline to the exit. I collected fuel when required but otherwise did nothing. :) I think forcing the player to control all the crystals in the level before exiting would force them to engage more. Nice work nevertheless!

This is an amazing game, the audio and graphics match perfectly to create the retro 8-bit mining game feel. The game was surprisingly addictive for its simplicity and i love the audio style. Great job and good luck!

That music! Loved it :-D The graphic was cute and the gameplay simple but interesting. Well done! I would have loved more HP (and something to regain HP that spawns randomly every 3-4 levels).

The graphics are very good. I love this retro look. The SFX and the Music are very cool (and energetic).

For a game made in only one day, it's quite impressive! I enjoyed playing it, it's really a nice job! I think that having at least one ennemy per level would have been nice tho (even if it's not a real problem at all). Great job :D

A very impressive entry - especially the music. Simple and nice gameplay, and follows the theme really well. The graphics are simple, but I did enjoy them.
