Nice game! I would have been interesting if it was required to use the crafting table, especially early on so you can know there are other things to help you out. Since it wasn't required, I didn't visit until more than halfway through the game and didn't really bother with the Quality of Life stuff it provided. I also wasn't really sure what some of the items did in the crafting table, so it would have been nice to have a name and/or description for each item. I think requiring the player to use the crafting table instead of "just keep upgrading your pickaxe" would have made the game feel more dynamic and less grindy. The game is cool, don't get me wrong, but I kind of got tired of doing the same "find ore, extract ore, smelt ore, upgrade pick axe, repeat until you get the sun orbs". Audio was great! Didn't get tired of it. Happy that you added a end state! Nicely done.

Oh man I just spent like 30 minutes playing this, it was a lot of fun. Loved the progression and amazed by how many different mechanics you managed to get into the game in just a week. Was super relaxing and a really great experience. I think a nice background would've added a lot, since after a while, you've mined out so much that the game feels really dark. Really well done! 

Neat game! Reminds me a bit of Terraria. I'm impressed you were able to get so many mechanics done in a single week. Movement felt great, but occasionally the game would freeze for a frame or 2. I couldn't pinpoint what triggered it, but usually happened if I jumped too often. Also, I wasn't sure how to get the copper/iron out of the furnace. I tried hitting E to use it again and read the controls, but no success. Maybe I just missed something? Still, the digging and crafting was a lot of fun! I really liked your backstory too, made the whole environment feel relaxing. Overall, great submission!
