Hey everyone!

I know... I know... a mining game.

I got a bit of a late start this time around, but I've got something to show at least. Just the basics now, but I think the idea could be pretty fun.

Basically you're a miner that can mine left, right, and down. The goal is to get as deep as possible, before you run out of energy/oxygen (Not implemented yet). You'll be able to collect oxygen as you descend to fill your supply back up, but you'll have to move fast and look out for obstacles that will slow you down or kill you.

I'm keeping the art style simple so no-one has to deal with my programmer art. Just simple sprites, and easily swappable color palettes.

I'm using PICO-8 for the first time. It's fun, but my inexperience with lua has caused me to hit a few snag but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Good luck everyone!
