Good good goood game !

Just wanted to give an update on Orebits: we are finishing up the demo, which will release this summer (Q3 2025). And the Steam page is up right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3635490/Orebits/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3635490/Orebits/

If you have any feedback on our storepage, we would love to hear it! Good or bad :)

Thanks all!

Hi @Fort Kenmei

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique our demo on video! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we put the final touches on the build.

You’re absolutely right that the story needs more body and depth,we’re adding extra world-building and character moments so the narrative feels richer and more engaging. As for those axes dropping in the mines, you’ll see the reason behind that in our upcoming trailer (it ties directly into the lore and a key gameplay mechanic). We can’t wait to share it with you!

Thanks again for your insights. Once the trailer’s up, we’d love to hear your thoughts on how those changes land. Your support means a lot to our team!

Hi! Thanks for playing! You should be able to clear the target depth after a few tries. There might be conditions that make it extra hard, so pick a starting point that sounds easy to clear. Thanks for the feedback.

We are working on more content. We have a list of features and content to add to the full release. 

News!!! A new version of Orebits is available: https://upgraded-studio.itch.io/orebits-demo

We have added features and polished the graphics! Go check it out now. And amazing if you could give us your feedback. 

Thanks for playing! It's not yet on Steam, but we will add it soon.

A lot of fun as always! I definitely want to get deeper. Good cards options to choose from and juicy bouncy ball.

We are working on a more polished version of this jam game! Here's some work in progress. How do you like this version compared to the jam entry? Would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback Biim_Games! It helps a lot with making improvements to our game. We are finishing up the gameplay features, fixing bugs and polishing further to release it on Steam. Are you familiar with the Idle/incremental genre? Within this genre, it's kind of the point that you don't have a fail state. You focus purely on progression. It's a weird genre, I know ;). I had to get familiar with it as well, because the core idea came from Bob (the dev half of Upgraded Studio). However, I like your suggestion of adding a fail state like with Tetris. We will definitely look into it.  Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are working on a more complete, less buggy and more polished version, so this helps a lot!

Hi Dave , I see you played a lot (Cool build). Can you provide us feedback on the game, because we want to make it better. so please tell us the things you liked but more so the things you don't like or the features your missing.

Good fun! Love the gameplay of making interesting choices. The visuals go all over the place though. My tip is to make it more consistent. Great entry! Congrats.

I loved it! Fun concept where the theme can shine. The gameplay was solid with funny, but tough choices. The audio and visuals come together nicely. The only real critique I have is that the platforming is not tight enough for my taste. The jump feels too short for my liking and it's hard to stand on the platforms when you come from a ladder. Besides that you got one of the highest ratings from me! Great one! 

Thanks for the quick fix! We enjoyed doing the Construct Jam!

Wow, thanks. I think there are better construct 3 games :). But maybe when we are done with the game you are right ;). Haha, hope so. Thanks for playing and glad to hear you enjoyed it. 

Great entry! Plays nicely and everything comes together really well. I agree with my buddy Ressurected Studio that the game becomes difficult fast. I must shamefully admit that I ragequit early on, because I couldn't get further than the third screen with the 2 floating lavaballs on the right. I'm bad at skill-based games. Another tip I want to give you as a designer/artist is: you can tell the art is mixed together. The title screen looks impressive and grim, but it doesn't fit the colorful gameplay graphics. Maybe next time you could bring the two closer together by applying a color filter to the assets to make it fit your game world. A bit less saturation and color filters on the gameplay graphics would have made it more fitting. But that's my opinion. 

Congrats on finishing the entry though. Always an achievement to finish a game jam!

Congrats on your entry! I like the vibe. Sound works well. A small design tip: make some backgrounds for your intro texts so they have a place to be and it also makes them easier to read. And it has been said below as well, but I really mis the skip for the intro. The intro is nice, but it would be better if you could skip it. Gets repetitive fast and gives frustration, instead of what you want: replayability. I suck at skill based games, so I would like a bit more hand-holding. But we are guilty of a lack of teaching as well. It's hard to finish a game for a jam, so last minute polish like teaching the player is even harder to implement. Plus, it's a personal thing. Some like hand-holding, others hate it. 

Great game! And thanks for your amazing feedback :)

Amazing honest feedback! Thank you. Exactly what we are looking for.

Thanks! As long as players enjoy themselves, I'm ok with stealing  some hours :D. 

Fun concept! The sound almost blew up my speakers though ;).

If everyone votes there shouldn't be a problem right?

Thanks for your feedback Federico! You are right on all points. This is a nice test to get some feedback so we can expand the game in all the right directions. If you have any ideas for improvements, please let us know. thanks and good luck with your entry! 

What      a       skilltree      !!!! Seriously, wow we love the skilltree! Solid vampire survivor like gameplay. The addition of choosing where the attack hits is a nice touch. Congrats! We are working on games with extensive skill trees as well, so we know how much work goes into them! 

Rated! Congrats on your entry! 

Like the look, feel and sound of the game. It works. We have a similar choice card system in our game! Congrats on finishing this jam.

I must say that I really enjoyed this game. It's so simple in it's mechanics, but the delivery is outstanding! Congrats on finishing such a great experience. You simply feel the theme with this one! 

Love the atmoshpere ! Nice grim art and tone. I'm terrible at these skill-based types of games however.
