That turned out to be a fun game! It’s just missing some kind of resource radar or something similar — I flew upward and there were no resources at all, while there was a whole bunch below. It would also be nice to add something to do inside buildings while waiting out the storm.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really glad my game turned out interesting. I'm planning to make a remastered version a little later. I'll definitely add an upgrade to the resource radar and a furnace mechanic so you can work on it while the storm rages.

A nice little game! I really like the urgency of it all, not just able to mindlessly have to mine minerals and have to worry about your health and the incoming storm. Great work!

It's a neat game and the oxygen meter makes it tense! But because the camera is so zoomed in, I had trouble finding resources and finding my way back. Maybe a minimap could also help.

It reminded me of Wall World, but I like something unique.

Interesting game! I love the feeling of exploring with the coming storm. Everything runs so smoothly.

This was a fun take on the collector theme! Like other reviewers said, the meters added a level of tension, and I enjoyed needing to occasionally take shelter from the coming storm.

The game feels calm and relaxing. The sound effects to recharge and mine are done well too. The storm visual is smart, using a variation of sand to show it being tossed around.

A multiplayer version or turning up the resource frequency could be good. After I got the first permanent upgrade I found myself rerolling worlds after circling the base for easy resources, since faraway resources we challenging to save up oxygen for and rerolls are free.

Cool game, loved the atmosphere - was always tense to make it back in time

Fun and relaxing. Died the first time because I ventured down too far and couldnt find my back up. An arrow pointing to the nearest entry to your base if the health gets too low would be nice
