Very nice collection game! The mine theme fits organically with what kind of game this is. My favorite aspect has got to be the difficulty curve though. Just by adding an extra mineral per level, the game gets more challenging in two ways: better minecart positioning is required to maximize collection speed, and since the train gets longer, you have slightly less time to react to incoming zombies. Well done!

My only feedback is on the train's deceleration. It felt to me that it maybe decelerated a bit too slowly, meaning I had to constantly adjust my carts' position.

You can see how much love went into this one. A unique concept, never seens anything like this. Good learning curve and amazing premises.  If I were to improve one thing, it would be the game feel. It feels a bit off. Slightly Rigid. Top20 overall for sure. 

I was surprised at how much this got its hooks into me. Having to juggle filling up the minecarts with keeping the zombies at bay makes it pretty compelling! The only thing that stuck out was that the sound effect for mining a chunk of ore is quite harsh on the ears.

Not sure why but it took a while to understand how to play the game. I think the controls on the game's page confused me a bit because I was not sure if it was "down" as in "down arrow or S" or if it was "down" is in a direction "down in the minecart you will find this". Once I understood it better it was easier to play.

Game with simple mechanics that combine to present a challenge. I like the overall premise of the game, the ore collecting is fun and more intuitive. The zombie part is a little less intuitive. There are some instances where killing the zombies near you is impossible and they are too close to the carts to start them moving to kill them. Would love to see this expanded maybe with score and more polish but there is a cool idea here.

Wow such a lovely little game with a real sweet core mechanic! It gets surprisingly stressful when the zombies are all lined up and you're desperately trying to get the cart up to speed. Great job!

Great game! I think it would be really fun if you had to use up and down in a rhythm to move the carts, instead of just holding down. This would make the carts harder to operate at first, but easier to control once you get the hang of it, and it would help with immersion in the world as well. Different sound effects for the different gems would also be fantastic.

I like the idea, but I think it could use some more sound effects or general juice stuff, good job!

I like the concept, but I really wanted to mash different buttons by default. I think a remap menu would be a good idea!

Also, I need more gold......

I really like the concept here! I wish there was a way to jump over zombies to get back to your cart if you get separated from it. I think with a bit more polishing this could be really fun!

Nice game, it's a little slow but I had fun.

@THEOR wow great concept man I would love to see more progress on this one, one thing I would say it will be good to add some tutorial to make things more clear I was a little confused at first but overall very good game :D

This is an interesting concept. It is a lot of fun to play and the pixel art is really well done.

Right now all ores are the same. If you continue working on this, you could make it a little more strategic, like giving the ores different properties, rearranging minecarts etc.. I think this game can be expanded in a lot of interesting directions! Good job!

It was a fun game with interesting soudn and art design. I have nejoyed the time I've played the game. However,  I had some frustrating tiems when using th ehook. Maybe implementing a throw hook system would've make the gameplay feel better in my opinion as I've had trouble with clicking the wall itself. Really fun game though, good job!

That was super fun to play! I loved the little clink sound effect from mining. Th pixel art is amazing . amazing for a jam game. I couldnt stop. But yes as others have noted, the adherence to the theme as a little bit cheeky, Doesn't matter though! you made a great game mate.

I think you might be stretching the theme of the jam a little bit, but this is a really fun one. Managing your location while keeping enough runway to kill zombies with the train takes a fair amount of thought and was pretty engaging. I’ll definitely play this again in the future!

thought im cheesing it by driving and mining at the same time but the ore just disappeared

you should make it impossible to mine and drive at the same time and also make the ore drop to the ground or something to be picked up cause i just got softlocked

fun, well thought-out mechanics, I would make the cart a bit shorter I think

Very fun, very simple, almost addicting gameplay. 5/5/5
