we followed many restrictions of the original gameboy hardware, such as limited scrolling capabilities, restricted 8x8 grid layout. we also took inspiration from classical gameboy games core loops.

ha! i just realized there are 2 weapons after playing through a couple times. i guess i could have read the controls listed on the page. one laser is frustratingly weak and the other one fires frustratingly slow. i think it would be more fun if those felt more effective, but i guess that’s what buying upgrades is for. the time limit felt kind of arbitrary and unnecessary. i would probably play this for a while if there wasn’t a time limit and i could just mine as much as i wanted. you got some nice looking art in there as well. this is probably the nicest “pile of shit” i’ve ever seen lol.

It does look nice, but there really isn't much to it beyond shooting rocks (which I wasn't sure about at first). Feels more like an older DOS game than a Game Boy game, but I did have some fun with it. :-)

Really great graphics and interesting mechanics! Needs a soundtrack and possibly a faster firing base laser (or just making the game 2x faster in general)

Looks really good and I like the core idea, too bad it feels nearly impossible to get any upgrades - I just got the laser thing and it didn't look like anything changed!

thanks for playing! the 9 quids “LASR LIDL” is the basic tool (and the cheapest one for a reason), you prob got very unlucky, any other tool would have changed it

I missed having a tutorial or a section to teach me how to play. I was kind of wandering randomly.

I liked the graphics.

It lacked that background soundtrack.

Rated by 6 people so far! That's unfair! The art and touch is insanely great

So accurate. Mining is *exactly* like that.

I ended with 61 points. I don't know if that's good. Took me a while to figure out what was going on but good job.

There's a charm to mining asteroids and you managed to capture it!
