My favorite is definitely refining the gems out of the geodes. I think the time limits maybe were a little harsh, and it's a bit of let down when the timer ends in the middle of a task, it might be nice to let the player finish on their last piece on some of the stations. I didn't quite get how the workers affected anything or maybe I was hitting a bug. I also got in a situation where I couldn't complete a day because none of the stations were responding to my selection.

A few of the games felt a bit too finicky (e.g. very small hitboxes on the rocks in the first one, too easy to overshoot in the second one with not enough visual information) or unfair (second one I would lose a few rolling off the table before I started, and it was hard to actually grab the rings and gems on the last one) or undertutorialized (I was tracing the shapes on the gems, not on the guide, at first) but in general they all felt good and polished. On day two, I had a guy assigned to a task but I still ended up having to do the task myself and I don't know what I needed to do differently.\n\nThe sound design is very good and satisfying. Good job with that. The graphics are also great and it all feels like a moody day working at the moody mine, so good work with all of that.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/buried-things.itch.io\/shadows-of-my-foreman-self","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"93015","g_author":"1000770","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"439154","g_title":"Shadows Of My Foreman Self","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"261","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"383968","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"383968","n_urlkey":"439154","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/shadows-of-my-foreman-self","n_slug":"shadows-of-my-foreman-self","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"770","n_created":"1712150454","n_modified":"1778314183","n_version":"1229103","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD55","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":770,"body":"# Hey bucko, wanna make some cash?\n\nListen, you might be a novice wizard, but I've got an opportunity for you in this factory I recently inherited.
