huh, the story mdoe is actually a tuora of sorts I guess?
I totally played stuff in the wrong order.
Like any sane person sine ce it is listed first I jsut chose play on the main menu and been grinding it out there.
thigns to improve there:
1. in general for a very long time (pun intended) ou often fell like you have too little time eahc run. Like I would do tons of runs one oafter another that eahc brought only 100-150 coal. while one ugprade already needed 300+ coal.
at some point, basically after you buy the +1sec/ressource thing, it becomes the opposite.
yu easily clear the whole map within a minute or 2.and jsut sit there and wait for another 2-4 minutes till times runs out.so you haveway too much time then stuff to do.
so yeah, you first do tens or hudnreds of way too shrot, too little ressource yieldings runs.and then suddenly runs give you max ressoruces each tiem cause you dig up everything except the unbreakable red blocks. and then gotta wait for time to be over.
so time pacing there jsut feels off in a way. or I bought stuff in worng order but ressources always felt so sparce....
2. yep, not being able to quit early... BIG BIG PITA!
woudl make it WAY more enjoyable
3.not being able to dig the red blocks. like, I know this is basiclaly the end of current vdevelopment.but it would kind of feel more "fulfilling" if you could dig it all up, icluding some "core" block at the bottom that triggers some shrotcut and basically gives you the end gamecredits.jsut more so it doesnt feel like half way throguh the story, even thoguh it currently is sitlk in development.a place holder ending implemented, if you want
4. immortal blocks.jsut annoying, not sure if you get the ressoruces from them.but them beign immortal, especially the eye ones is sjut annyoing.
5. once a drill spawned on the left most column, the border one thatis obiously containing unbreakable blocks. was kind of pointless and wasted a bot in that round.
Now I'll go into story mode which i likely should have doen from the beginning.but yeah, play was written above sttory mdoe so i assumed this was the right place to start.not that story mode is kind of the tutorial and you do the play afterwards.gotta choose better naming there.
oh yeah almost forgot:
6. the chests.it's nice that you can buy an upgrade for it to auto smash the chest. but the very popup itself gets annoying too, as you are y´jsut in the right flow of mining blocks and have tointerrupt each time to basically click away a popup.jsut give an upgrade that auto accepts those too or doesnt show them anymore and jsut gives a "+3 to mining damage" hint in the corner or such.
sad that zeppelinsdont exist in the actual play mode. they looking good.
