This game reminds me of super motherload, which is a great thing! I like the music a lot! Good job!

Nice fun and good use of the theme good job bro I liked it. Check out my game I would really appreciate it bro.

I think the sound really fits the game! The game was kinda hard for me tho :'D 

In my first try I dig all the way down because I didn't know I was supposed to save fuel XD

Fun game, and awesome interpretation of the theme. I don't think I've played any other games that used explicit fuel as the thing that everything costs some of. But now that I've seen it it seems obvious. Those are the best kinds of ideas.

But yeah, pretty fun little mining/resource management game loop. The audio really helps sell the "big mech crunching through rock" vibe

Very punishing  when you mess up, but I think it works well for this style of game.

Great job!

I really like the concept, it took me a while to realize what exactly i should do, but once i did i had fun playing!

I can see some potential for this game in case you wanna improve it later.

At first I thought the game had a bug, but then I realized I needed to repair the robot inside the tech store before starting the mining. I don’t know if I was dumb or if it really wasn’t intuitive though. I also think the fuel finishes too fast, I can barely dig down and already have to fly to refuel it. Maybe if the upgrades were faster it would be less frustating.

I liked the idea and I can see how this game could become very fun with more development time, I wish you’ll keep working on it! If so, I’m willing to test it again 😁.

Задумка идеальна, но реализацию джетпака можно было сделать получше. Почти всегда не успевал донести ресурсы.

Спасибо, да балланс не успел нормально проработать

Unfortunately the game is broke for me. Ui isn't scrolling correctly and I can't see how to fix it. It's a shame because I love motherload and wanted to give this a try. 

Message me if you fix this. 

in the mean time feel free to play my game too if you can. I'd appreciate it a lot.

Developer

where exactly did it broke? in the upgrade console?i will fix it but you also can scroll it with the mouse
