Excellent game! The cohesiveness of the visuals, limited tools for navigation, sound, and corporate prison vibe all were spot on and made it suck me right in!

I had fun, cool game! I think it would have been cool if the terrain got more treacherous over time, because thanks to the powerups the game got steadily easier, but I really like the concept and I enjoyed the direction slider as a method of controlling movement. The music and art felt very polished and professional too :)

A Miner InconvenienceI really loved this! I at first thought the integrity life meter was based on me not contacting the people with my radio comms having issues but I realized quickly I was trying to drill through rock. I really like the little funky tune that plays when you're close to being done.
The art style was phenomenal, I really loved the aesthetic you went for, it really made it feel unique and cool.
The gameplay is also amazing, it's simple but works great! I think you have an excellent base for either continuing or working on something new! Every upgrade felt meaningful and it feels like there wasn't one that was lacking.

The Last SorcererThe game was pretty fun to play. It kind of felt like a 2D Iron Lung. I also liked the music.

Fool's GoldGreat game! Enjoyed the multitasking needed for it and the corporate messages that were given. Amazing job on the UI, it sets up the whole thing really well. Only extra stuff I would've liked to see is maybe a difficulty change as you progress or any other type of change. Overall, really fun!

Bird of preyReally cool set up the UI control panel makes the game easy to navigate, I did not realise at first that I could slow down so I found it difficult to read the text and control at the same time, but once I figured it out it got a lot easier!

Mountain RunI love the visuals, they are really well made! I would love to see some moving obstacles to avoid, just to make it a little bit more challenging. But overall, it’s fantastic! Congrats on the entry! :D

He knows where you areA cool little entry the UI was very nice and I enjoyed the mix of corporate horror and comedy.
The vent meter was a nice little addition to add some multi tasking to the game and it was fun trying to keep everything steady while trying to read the next bit of corporate endearment! Great work :D
