Hi folks! Just released version 1.2.2 of Miner Troubles! This upgrade includes some feedback received from comments along with some features I had originally planned to release but ran out of time for during the jam.
Changes include:
-Robot workers! Activate these workers with gems and they'll help you mine. You can swap your tools with theirs to give them different tools. Their effectiveness (move speed and tool use cooldown gets better when they have higher tier tools).
-Inventory management. You now have 4 inventory slots which you can keep backup tools. This allows for more versatile gem management and strategic upgrade paths.
-New tool: Torch. Burns nodes to gather gems. You can burn a node and leave it and go process other nodes.
-Gem upverters. Allows up-conversions of gems into gems of one-tier higher.
-Day tracker. Keeps track of how long you've been playing for. A day is currently 10 minutes on game time.
-Increased mining level cap to 200.
-A ton of sounds and visual effects!
-Balancing and QoL improvements.
Stay tuned for more future work and comment what other features you would like to see in Miner Troubles!
Thanks for playing!
