Hi, I tried the web version of the game. I didn't think much from the first level but it did serve as a good tutorial. Things really picked up from the second level, it was a really nice surprise. It was fun and challenging and the music really got me into it. I got past that level but the 3rd was just too hard for me with numbers coming vertically and horizontally.

One thing I would suggest is adding a video of the gameplay to your store page as its hard to get an idea of what the game is about just from the screenshots.

Great job.

Thanks for pointing out the things you liked in the game. We really tried to make a game that required no explanations and that could be learned by playing it in a "safe" level.

Agree with you we need to work on balancing the levels so progression is more logical. Other option is to offer other game modes, i.e. giving players 5 lives instead of only one.

Thanks for the suggestion to add the video !

Really fun game, you got a high rate from my part. I really enjoyed it, the music is really well chosen for the game mechanics, it also surpassed my expectations formed by the title and screenshots. I could only play level 1 and 2 but really want to play the next levels, tell me the hack to advance level without passing them xD

Feel free to check out my game, it will mean a lot to me

Hi There !

Thanks for your feedback. Good to see that you enjoyed our game.

We are playing yours now. Some things we like:

The mini-map showing the spiders mode while you are inside the cave mining.
The sounds inside the cave...oh that echo !
The mining mechanic. We would suggest to place the remaining mineral durability on top of the rock you are mining (for clarity).
How the mineral squares gradually appear when inside the cave as you move (perfect simulation of limited visibility due to the darkness).
The way the game gets more intense as more spiders appear
The satisfaction we got when placing the weapons to kill the spider (we have like 20 now !) .

Well done ! Keep learning and developing good games.

I also cannot find the executable. I'm on Windows if that makes a difference.
