Excellent game!
Mining felt great with the right amount of juice to keep me going.
Thoroughly enjoyed my play through, great job!
Thanks for the feedback and glad that you enjoyed playing. Even I surprised how satisfying the mining was after getting those upgrades. Maybe I'm being modest but I think we were lucky it turned out even better than we'd hoped!
This game is one of my top 5 best games in Brackey's game jam! awesome job!
I'm so glad you liked it!
Your game is really polished. It's clear that you spent a lot of time refining the mechanics and the overall experience.
That was an experience. i am totally amazed.
Simply a perfect little game.
Ah I don't know about perfect (there's still plenty in the Trello board that we didn't get to!) But thanks so much for the high praise. Glad you enjoyed it!
Super game. Comes very close to a real game. One of the much better games at the Jam and one of my favorites.
The only suggestion I have is that the camera movement after the death could be made a little faster.
That was a lot of fun! I want to see more, please keep it up. Would be great to add more things like air (i think i only found one air tank) or other power ups within the route.
One of the few games that are just perfect. Flawless game!
Perhaps you could increase the game length by implementing requiring other elements too.
thanks for such high praise. We'd love to add tons more to the game!
Good game bro.
With 9 Sacrifices I made it out alive this game was a really fun and fresh take on the theme with some strong polish, I thoroughly enjoyed playing and traversing the environment the controls felt very good and the grapple was a nice addition to deal with the mines. The UI and character design was simple but very effective it was clear to read what was happening and the kinda cute/friendly aesthetic of the crew accompanied by the death lines made for a nice sense of brief attachment to the crew members with a lighthearted ending to each one. The intro and and outro was a nice addition and tied everything together overall very fun and cohesive game one of my favourites so far!
Suggestions for development: I would like to see the laser developed further or maybe have different types that specialise for different scenarios or minerals It would also be cool to have some sort of native creatures in the caves that try to attack you/protect their home/burrows if you venture too close, this could give incentive to have an attack based laser.
Thanks a bunch for the high praise! We really appreciate reviews like these as they help us understand better where our game, and future ones, can be improved!
great job man
Great game! Very polished and fun. I feel like there should be more dangers/obstacles in the exploring or otherwise it's just a big grind? A fun grind for sure for a jam game! Really great job overall!
Absolutely. That's what of the things we were worries about the most. If we had a little more time we would have loved to add in some more obstacles and enemies.
A pretty fun and polished mining game! Tho I’m glad to see more elements on top of the mining sim, maybe some hidden ancient civilization … well that’s too much lol
The hook feels great!
This is one of the best games I've seen so far. It feels really polished, short, yet full of content. It doesn't feel boring at all throughout my run. I found out about an exploit with the grappling hook that would be very interesting to do when you want to travel downwards quickly. The game has a lot of potential for further development as well - more obstacles, an ecosystem with creatures that can help/affect the operation, more resources to manage (for the whole ship to stay alive, not just the gold).
Other than that, the graphics and audio is amazing. Can't really find anything to nitpick about.
Thanks for the in depth review, high praise and the improvement suggestions! Much appreciated :D
So this is what happens to crewmates that get voted out!
Fun and nice game check out mine as well
Fun game! I like grapple and magnet the ores, these makes game more smooth.
Fun game. I loved seeing the bodies of past attempts. I liked the dialogue when the crew members died.
Good game, tough I would've liked an option to return to the ship once you have 1000 gold just for not sacrificing another crewmate :'(
This game is really fun and the art is really nice. The grappling hook didn't seem to work, but it might just be the trackpad.
That's a shame! We haven't heard of any issues with the grappling hook, so perhaps it is the trackpad? But, that shouldn't be the case.. Apologies for that!
such a perfect entity. the most completed and polished game I have played so far.
