I can not stop playing xDD Awesome entry

I like how UI feels old-school. What did you use for it?

Mining + TD is such a great idea, I love the concept. The entry itself is really solid, but the core loop is missing complexity (everything  on the planned worker features list sounds intriguing). Coupled with the dynamic paths the obvious thing was to just place towers just at the end of the route instead of  spreading them across the map as I saw no incentive to do so. If you work on it some more, I'd love to see where it goes.

I'm not sure the music fits, but I really like the track (still listening to it now actually) - for me it's too chill for a TD game/enemy waves. Also a tiny nit - the audio should not start at 100% IMO. Props for having very nice settings (though I'd have preferred having one of the worker features instead).

BTW. I got a panic on my second run (I tried hard), I think it happened when one of the buildings was destroyed

`error[B0003]: Could not insert a bundle (of type `entytd::enemy::Behavior`) for entity 7208v261 because it doesn't exist in this World.`

Really enjoyed. What are the ore and crystals for ?

I really like your attention to small details, in my opinion it is what makes the game feel finished. All these small particles and animations, settings, coherent UI textures - it is great to see.     I am not the biggest fan of "retro" art style, but I guess it is just my taste. Great entry overall

Incredibly impressive work for a single person in 9 days.

I only played on normal mode, but it seemed like the optimal strategy was to dig out a semi-square centered on the entrance to the mines + try to avoid digging metals, and then spam build towers right by the camp. Once you figure that out there isn’t much else to optimize, so it seems like there’s some missing complexity (different types of towers, or some other source of complexity) – but obviously this is a jam game.

Wow, I can really feel the passion poured into this one! The attention to detail, the UI, the tutorial, so many good things about it. If I had to nitpick on something, I would say the feel of the music didn't really match what I felt playing the game, but that's a minor one. Excellent work!

woohoo! Had fun with this. Great execution too, free of any bugs from my playthrough. Loved the graphics style, and it was pretty understandable on how to play.

A couple notes on playthrough - I found that I could leave some of the mining aspect of the game on auto if I set a ton of space to be cleared randomly. I also really would have liked to see some different tower types (maybe that could also help with the mining aspect so players could prioritize different ores for different towers or something) since I really like the tower placement strategy aspect in TD type games.

Great submission!

Great idea! I found it a tiny bit confusing (couldn't figure out how to get to the metal, and took me awhile to notice when I could or couldn't build towers) but seems like it has potential.

Nice genre mashup, it looks really polished. I dig it, I wish I could zoom in more on my screen though. I kept caring more about mining than defending and then losing haha. The music was also really relaxing. I think there's potential here, might be interesting with a day/night cycle... like the trees attack at night and then plant themselves during the day and can't be hurt... That might be coming from the side of me that is bad at tower defense games though 🤔

I did run into crashes trying to run this on my linux machine in fullscreen.. it was like... if it was fullscreened and I tried to move with wasd/arrow keys, it would crash

min > max, or either was NaN. min = 144.0, max = -144.0
Encountered a panic in system `entytd::camera::update`!
Encountered a panic in system `bevy_app::main_schedule::Main::run_main`!

Interesting game. Well done! The background music was very relaxing :)

This is an incredibly polishing game, I absolutely adore it. 

Had a good time with your game until it crashed. I really love the dwarf fortress look and feel, and the music is good (but too loud). The tutorial worked great. I was a bit frustrated I can't have more workers dwarfs to scale up the defense especially in the harder modes. The engine works like a charm though.

The crash is: panicked at src/designate_tool.rs:186:45: index out of bounds: the len is 60 but the index is 60

I didn't think it was gonna be my jam, but it WAS my jam. Very nice, I really liked the behavior of your own miners, they helped building when needed etc. I had to force myself to stop, very very nice!

this game has a ton of potential imo. the base mechanics are pretty fun an interesting to work with. would love to see this expanded upon.

I enjoyed this so much! The art style is heartwarming, and the game is a lot of fun. It works awesome as a jam game and I could also see this growing into a bigger project. One thing I would love is some sort of area selection so you could select areas to mine faster. Awesome entry!! ^u^

This was a blast! I'd love to see more of this game!
