Nice Game

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Submitted

The subtle music goes nicely with the mining game. Good thing there's isn't some random jumpscares so I was just chilling around with it. The artstyle is pretty nice too. Loved how the lighthouse growing taller.

Developer

Yeah, i literally wanted more chill version of dome keeper. With some sort of tension, but without defense part.

Submitted

Very fun game, with great visuals and sound design. Little things like slight random differences in SFX used or pitch used for repetitive actions really goes a long way in stopping the sounds from becoming monotonous, and fatiguing the players ear. So often overlooked! I'll be back to play more, once I've finished looking at other submissions for sure.

Developer

Glad you liked it so much! For sfx i just wrote custom script for audio sources, so it was really easy to add random sounds and random pitch. Also i plan to make one more mining game on basis of this one (i will literally reuse a ton of code and add more content)

Submitted

Good game, fun and with good graphics. I loved the gameplay, but there was a moment when playing on the website where the entire screen turned yellow.

Developer

Thanks. That's some really strange bug. Maybe you have somehow highlightet the game? Otherwise i have really no idea what or why is it

Submitted

Yes, I accidentally highlighted it, sorry

Submitted

The audio in this game is awesome. From  subtle music to crispy sounds of gems - awesome!

Visuals are also very pleasing.

For the gameplay - I like the addictivenes of these mine-and-upgrade games. It is nothing original, but it works. I was almost missing some end goal, but then I found it.

What I was missing was the theme implementation. I kind of liked the idea of upgrading light source, but it just doesn't make any sense to me that you build a lighthouse in the underground caves.

I  definitely had fun playing this game. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! With theme implementation i got inspiration from underground lighthouse of heroes of might and magic 3.

Submitted

i absolutly love this game! One of the best I have played so far! I like that I havent read any instructions but still understood it. I love complicatet games that are still understandable by doing! I also like the music!

Great Work (keep it up)

Developer(+1)

Glad to hear! I decided to separate upgrades as much as possible, wich was actually really good in the end, because it allowed to make everything modular. Also i haven't added more stuff (like bombs and other usables) because got no time

Submitted

After downloading it because it didn't work for me in the browser, I have enjoyed a wonderful experience that reminded me a lot of when I used to do strip mining in earlier versions of Minecraft. I love that without any indication, I felt like seeing if I could go to the end, and it was a surprise to find something.

Developer

Glad that you have managed to play it! Also i fixed (at least tried) initial loading, so maybe it is the cause. Actually i wanted to make it infinite or just with borders and idea of ending came to me on the last day.

Submitted

Really fun mining game, I like the incremental upgrades and it's fun to zoom around and destroy blocks once you have tons of upgrades. I like the minimalistic artstyle it looks really nice. Could see a lot of room for more upgrades and stuff if you decided to keep working on the game. Really impressive work for just 3 days, great job!

Developer

Thanks! Yep, i have some further plans for other project based on this one.

Very addictive, took my minutes away from me
Really nice minimalist art style, really clean looking. Innovative system, to be bounded to the furnance, I got down to 1-2 hp a few times. Really satisfying progression system, it felt good to become that fast and powerful
Definitely something I'd buy if it expanded into other core mechanics (I was thinking of dome keeper)

Developer

I wanted to create dome keeper but without battling. And also i plan to create another mining game from code of this one, with the same core mechanics, but with more content and maybe different art style (just black and while 16x16 feels really restrictive)

Submitted

Really interesting how you put a lighthouse in a mining game! Super unique!

Developer

Thanks. I've go inspiration from dome keeper, but didn't want segment of battling. Also got some inspiration from sunless sea with insanity in the darkness and moody atmosphere

Submitted

I really like the games with this kind of mechanics, also the artstyle and animations look really good! simple but really cool game

Developer

Thanks! If you want similar artstyle i modified "Kenney 1-Bit pack". It's free, pretty big and nice looking.

I like this simplistic game design! Lol I was shocked cuz of the cough, but I managed to went through all the gems. I thought there's no ending. So I decided to see how big the map is, and realize there was a crown at the end! Good game overall

Developer(+1)

Hahah. I thought that it won't be found SO fast

Submitted

It seems good but it crashes when I start.

Developer

Does it actually crash or just freeze? It creates pretty big map, so it takes a while. I decided not to use chunks, because i had no time. Maybe try to wait a little bit

Developer

Should be fixed. Please try again if you can
