Very nice micro management game, yeah the only issue (like what others have said) is the possibility of getting softlocked and the player isnt warned of the possibility nor the danger of it
you could either balance the game to have a loss state before running out of oil or work an alternate way to get oil that doesnt involve mining it
Really fun cute game! Well polished! Not buggy at all. Music is very good and fits the vibe perfectly. I wish there was a little more to spend upgrades on, maybe something to make your character faster? As the drill sped up I had a hard time moving around. Well done!
Figured out pretty quickly what I was doing but ended up parked on a bit of mountain with no oil and had to restart. This has the vibe of a cosy number go up type game which usually don't have a way to get deadlocked. The music is dangerously catchy.
I really like it. With enough work, this could be it's own thing. Though, it could use a clearer tutorial
Of all the game which require you to manage several things of some machine at once, this one feels the best to me. Looks great, controls well and is fun. The softlocking is an issue, I think it could be solved by just having the drill go very slowly instead of completely stopping when fuel runs out.
An interesting and unique game. Managing the drills fuel while also trying to collect gold was a very engaging gameplay loop, and I kept playing long after the "You win" message, to see how far I could get. Upgrading the engine made the game immediately more difficult, and I stayed on the lowest speed for most of the game. Overall, quite a fun and creative idea.
Operating the big drill is quite fun. Upgrading the engine is a bit of a mix. If I go really fast I don't have time to collect fuel and end up soft locked. Nonetheless it was really fun playing this game and would play more with more content!
ROCK AND STONE! Really fun little game! It stayed "you won" I'm not sure if its because I collected enough gold or cuz I went high enough with my drilling machine?
The theme of the jam is not so well covered, but the basic mechanics are very exciting,
I really liked the art for this game, the machine is really cool and I love the lighting effects it has. The game was also fun and challenging. Great job on this submission!!!
Nice movement and really liked the super simple pixel art and color palette. Took quite long to get what is going on, but after a while it was really fun to make jumps, quickly attach the hose and hurry back up to catch it as soon as it comes up. ALso liked the design and sound of machine. Great job!
The game is fun but you can very easily get softlocked and it's hard to understand what is going on.

Got to 1122M. Satisfying gameplay loop, mainly due to the very fluid movement. Operating big machines is always fun.
I like games involving large machines you can platform in! Got the hang of it and got to 250 before I accidentally pressed R :///
i ion get it :(
This game is very good, and i really enjoyed the game and the art style!
Very cool game, the core mechanic of getting oil was so well executed with how the hose behaved. Really enjoyed playing, and loved the art style
Really nice concept ! I didn't expect to be grinding those level ups . Great Game !
Very cool lore concept and awesome that you managed to build progression into a jam game! I could see this being polished into a very complete standalone game with more mechanics and depth to the mining - something like Dave the Diver but in a different setting. Very cool!
Really like games about operating big machines.
It was a little unclear at first that you needed to use the hose to extract fuel.
