Is it possible to get an FOV slider, as is the game feels way too stretched out (I'm playing on a 21:9 screen), though I only got that playing on the web version.
On the downloaded version there's some stuttering and hitching when I initially opened the options, but after that and for the rest of the game the performance was great!
I got to the endgame and unlocked all upgrades, absolutely loved the experience and can't wait for a full release, I'd totally pay £5 for this as a full game, more depending on content length.
For me, I found the meta to be to get a bunch of drones, then mine deep until reaching the voidshard layer, then mine 112 voidshared for 5712 credits and do that a few times to unlock all upgrades. At that point I was at layer 42, and the drones weren't working very fast and the effort to clear became a bit annoying so I stopped at that point, but I'm excited to see what you add!
Maybe artefacts, passive upgrades, upgrades that transfer to the drones, stuff that changes the effects that drones have, maybe explosions or chain lightning, skins, etc. Also, super interested to see the story and learn more about the founder/the corporation! I'm assuming the founder is gonna be the devil or something, like in Motherlode
All in all an absolutely amazing work, can't wait to wishlist this game and learn more, one of the best demos I've ever played.
One annoying thing: have the jetpack stop working at a certain battery level, or have a jetpack battery boundary level as an option, because mining to a low battery level then dying from a double tap of spacebar is annoying. Also, maybe mention that running out of power incurs a penalty? I restarted my first run because of the crazy high credit penalty even on the first layer.
Also, an indicator that shows what layer you're on would be super handy, especially as you go underground!
Also, more late game upgrades, like inventory size or wider and taller mining beams, or more drones at a higher cost, etc to make the layers beyond layer 40 less tedious!
