Chill game, well done. The menus were a bit confusing though.

Fun! I'm always into mining games. I can see a lot of potential for other game mechanics.

Reminds me of a more forgiving Motherlode! I enjoyed it. I never found a way to upgrade software, hardware, or drill level but I made some money and got my storage and gas upgraded a good a bit. Well done!

made it to the end. so i guess its just endless farming and upgrading?

@isaac-hisey Yea, wasn't able to implement all the upgrades in time unfortunately. I wanted to lock every upgrade behind a software and hardware level upgrade as well as special drills for each type of ore.

@ranzor Thanks for the comment. I assume you are talking about the screen that comes up after you start game. Yea they have lot of lore behind them but wasn't able to fully flesh it out leaving it in a confusing way :disappointed:

@jcmonkey Unfortunately, thats it for now. Ran out of time for the Jam. Focused on learning pixel art.

@aviolin Do you have some ideas that I can implement? Always open for any feedback.

Private play and sounds are calming. Good luck!

I like the Vibes.
But the game feels a little empty, like there's some challenge or planning missing here
anyway congrats!

Nice mining game. It's certainly not boring. :smiley: Reminds me of "A game about digging a hole", only in 2D. I got all the way to the bottom. I just wish you had time to implement more upgrades.

@tugaryn Yea unfortunately, ran out of time to implement the other stuff.

Good relaxing vibes. Made it to the bottom with a decent amount of battery/capacity upgrades. I just wish there had been a victory condition though!

@logan-core I wish too but the lore is basically a dystopian situation where mars is fully stripped off it's resources and the planet basically blows up or something.

The atmosphere is very chill and feels nice, the game is a good starting point for more mechanics.
Just sometimes it looks a bit weird because I can mine a block but the drill is not on it.

Nothing boring about this project! A simple game but with a neat, addictive loop, congratulations on your entry

@antonin-granados Yes, there is a small bug which I need to fix :joy:

@delphin-casado Thanks

@delphin-casado Boring as in boring a tunnel or "Drilling down" :joy:

It's not such a "boring project". Pretty funny. Good solution with upgrades, but it requires a little bit more visual information (icons or something like this). Btw, good work! :)

Fun little game! Would be nice to polish UI/UX a bit more in post-jam update, like, for example, automatically return to buy-sell menu after battery hits zero, and have some more interesting upgrades.

Woah, I loved the art! very well made game!.

@t90 Yup, I'm working on fixing up the game and adding some more content.

This is a fun and solid entry. I like that you were able to implement a few great mechanics that work well together--with more time, the game certainly could be extended without too much difficulty, I think. So in terms of the jam, you came out with a functional game that was fun, if a bit short. I wish there was an end goal - like collect X money or find X material at the bottom of the mine - something to make me feel like I won. As it is, I perceive the game can go on forever. All that said, great work. The art and music and sound and gameplay all work well together. Great job!

I really like your game! Collecting ores is fun, and the limited capacity makes you think about which ones to pick up. The ore sprites look great, and the sound design is awesome.

Great job!

Super neat concept, like a sci-fi dig dug in gameplay with an interesting gameplay loop. Well done!

Fun gameplay loop, wanted to keep digging to see what kind of ores were even further down :) Half-expected a boss when I got to the end 😆

solid game, felt quite relaxing.
