Did you work in a team?
Nah, just me.

Was the resolution a challenge?
Sorta? It was difficult designing the game to work with such small sprites, but I'm kinda addicted to small resolutions anyway.

What did you learn?
I learned that procedural generation is difficult, and learned some better ways to do it. Unfortunately, there is a very small chance that your path will be blocked by obsidian. It's not too big of a deal but it is gamebreaking and I have no idea how to stop it from happening.

Man, so much digging and such a long way down. Loved the simple upgrade system, felt really great to suddenly power through after grinding hard for a while. Some music would have probably helped creating the mood. An enjoyable game nevertheless.

yeah, sorry about the music thing. I suck at music, so it was a miracle I was even able to make those sound effects. Bosca Ceoil may be user friendly but that doesn't mean anything if you have the musical talent of a zombified turtle.

I'm always a fan of these miner games, and this one was no exception. I appreciated how you could change what gem you'd start with (although it took me a bit to realize that I could). I was hooked until I beat it. I'd recommend you put some screenshots on your itch page—that would get more people to try it.

oh crap I forgot to add screenshots? Dang, I've been so busy with work I didn't even notice! Thanks for telling me.
