Wow, I played this on my laptop which is starting to show it's age and it barely was able to play this. I love the effects in the game, very polished and 'shiny'. It makes the visuals of this game. Sound is also nice and polished. Also the 3D blocks that you destroy look nice. I bet it was a lot of work to put all this together. I gave you this suggestion earlier and in more detail, but for me the UI is a bit too colorful and cluthered which distracts from the great in-game visuals. Great entry!
Nice game! 3 days with no sleep wow you are crazy haha well done I really like the idea and the graphics - great job!
Thank you very much!
Indeed being an insomniac sometimes has little advantages! :D
Very well done game! Great job on this title! Please inform me if you update this game! I would love to replay it again!
Ohh thank you so much!
I may continue the development a bit, feel free to follow me as I'm currently working on another big project for over a year and I'll post it here!
Thanks again for your feedback!
Followed! Same here for my game! I’m first releasing a new version of the game jam game, then I have a game I’ve been working on for years coming out soon!
Nice entry! As others have said, nothing seems to show up past a certain point, but still, neat game!
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Yes indeed, I've found out what the problem is... I had deactivated the base ore change for testing purposes and I never reactivated it!
Great straightforward game. Looks like it was fun to build. I like the graphics. May want to add pickups (minerals?) if you continue development.
Thanks for the feedback!
It was indeed fun to build but a real headache to optimize!
Great idea, I'll make a note of it. I'm not sure I'll be continuing the development (I've been working on another game for 1 year) but it's not out of the question that from time to time I'll continue with this one.
Thanks a lot!
I like the game the effects are great. Like the mole bomb 💣. In 3 days is insane .
thank you very much !
This was a lot of fun! Great game!
Thanks a lot!
Pretty cool game here! I really like the visuals of the dirt falling as the drill plows down. The upgrade system is nice and works well. Unfortunately I think I encountered a bug or something because no more ore or anything showed up past like ~3200m down. I was a little confused at first on whether or not I should be trying to get the ore because of how it slowed me down to a grinding halt, and it seemed like you get a better score for just going down deeper. I liked the weapon variety and the effects, however they could be a little more optimized or at least not all go off at the same time. All in all though I had fun! I just wish I could have experienced more to do past 3000m.
You can watch my gameplay video playtest here for some more feedback (and see the depth bug I ran into):
Thank you very much for your comprehensive feedback!
The video made me realize that indeed beyond 3000m there is nothing!
I've just checked the code and yes... I had deactivated the change of bottom ore to do the tests and I never reactivated it...
Thanks again for your time, you have an extra subscriber in Youtube!
I'll soon be releasing an alpha of the game I developed at last year's game jam. In one year it has evolved enormously, and if you're interested I'll be able to give you a version. Your feedback will be a great help!
Thanks again for your time!
Really fun and arcadey! Just a little confused why Space resets my depth meter and refills the fuel, also after about 4000m no more power ups or anything but the basic red dirt spawns. Otherwise great game!
Ohhh I must have forgotten to remove my debug keys!
You've got nothing above 4000m? This is indeed a bug, it should continue to appear ad infinitum with gold, diamond etc. ...
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'll fix these bugs!
Really awesome sound effects. Nice moody visuals. The falling blocks animation is a great touch.
Oh, thank you so much! The artistic side being my weak point in the development of a video game your comment makes me particularly happy!
Nice game! The hitbox is a bit unforgiving but overall it's quite fun to play :)
It's true that I went for a cubic hit box to go with the decor, but with the circular saw it looks a bit weird!
Thanks for your feedback :)
Great use of the particles and darker theme fits the setting. Good job
Thanks a lot!
Wow, the game is really fun and satisfying, the graphics, audio, game play, Its all executed very well.
Thanks very much! :)
Nice job! Digging feels satisfying, progression feels relevant and everything looks very cool.
Thanks very much!
Really fun and beautiful looking game! I love the graphics, and especially the the blocks falling off the screen effect looks amazing. The upgrade system is a nice addition and definitely adds depth. I don't really have anything to criticize, amazing job!
Oh thank you so much!
Insane Graphics and Audio and you did everything from scratch? dang it thats really amazing! Sadly after 3.400 Meters it kind of stop spawning red/green orbs and iron and stone for me so getting all Upgrades to max was easy but this entire game was so fun! You can be really proud that you did all that in just a week. Well Done Thanks for Uploading!
Oh thank you so much for your feedback!
I effectively started from scratch, I've been spending all my free time on unreal engine for 4 years now so I'm progressing very quickly.
I'm going to look into the problem you had at 3400m.
Thanks again for your comment!
Particles was nice, it was a bit complicated at start then I figured out. Simple fun game. Good job!
Thank you very much!
Hey I remember your game from Brackeys 2022 I made science testing environment. Anyways here is my review starting off the visuals and sound effects are quite nice. The music is a but too much for my taste but it's fine. The gameplay is decent although getting stuck on those iron thingies is annoying. It is still a solid game good job.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback!
Indeed, I'm not fully satisfied with this little game and I've spent most of my time trying to optimize it without any real success...
I'm glad you remembered my game from last year! I spent 15h a day on it for a week :)
In fact, I've continued developing last year's game, which has evolved a lot in 1 year, and I'd like to release a demo version soon.
I would love to see where it's at now
Here's a video of where the game was 3 months ago. It has evolved a lot :)
Nice game! I love the animation when blocks are broken/drilled.
Thanks! :)
Very satisfying! It reminds me of those videos where they cut soap into cubes lol
It lags sometimes with all the powerups activated and after 3,000m of depth there's not much going on, but I actually ended out maxing out everything! I had a lot of fun playing.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Indeed, when you go down, there's a big loss of fluidity... Unfortunately I haven't had time to fix the problem.
