I can get past the loadingscreen. It does not respond.

The game crashes at the loading screen.

The really great art and sound design creates a good atmosphere in this game. Would have liked to see the people you find follow you out of the mine.

@thx4nothing @xevozfighter: Is there any output on the console window? Do you have the .NET Framework installed? If so, which version?


@CheeseyBob: Thanks! Yeah, we would have liked to add some more features (for example the miners following you) but we ran out of time. We bot put about 20 hours in the game.

Here is the error:

@thx4nothing: Thank you!

We updated our build to (hopefully) get rid of this error. Please let us know if there are still any errors.

thx4nothing 2014-04-29 17:06

I still get the same error. I also tried to install Mono, but it did not work.

Really good game :D.
Graphics and audio are cool. I like the atmosphere it makes

wilpel1234 2014-04-29 19:58

i like this game, the graphics is awesome!

runvs 2014-04-29 19:59

@thx4nothing: We added another build (top, Failsafe build) which doesn't use certain features (namely the clouds on the surface).
Do you have an Intel graphics chipset? It seems that there are some problems involved. If you've got the time, try updating to the latest graphics drivers.
Thanks for keeping us updated!

All i get is a console window flash up for a split second :(

stepperz 2014-04-29 20:33

My bad :) I hadn't fully extracted it!!

theengineers 2014-04-29 20:34

Awesome atmosphere.

stepperz 2014-04-29 20:40

Awesome Graphics!! Some player animations would improve that even more though. The music was great and it really suited the atmosphere :)

ifightbears 2014-04-29 20:45

Could have used some cursor key controls after all the clicking required to escape, but nice atmosphere and mood!

seme 2014-04-29 21:18

Nice graphics and music! Game got a little easier when I figured out that keeping the left mouse button pressed is enough to move, not constant pressing required. Good job!

jeasonfire 2014-04-30 13:20

Great graphics and sounds, could be a bit more responsive, though that is a common problem in point'n'clicks. Good game.

secret_tunnel 2014-04-30 19:08

Really great style! The slightly wonky pathfinding was annoying, but aside from that, great game! You did a lot with a little.

kragnir 2014-04-30 19:15

The clickbeep gets very annoying after a while. I liked the graphics and the music was ok. Would be nice with some challenge or at least one more difficult puzzle.

mintarcade 2014-04-30 20:31

Very fast drill ;). Seriously interesting game, I liked skinny people with helmets. Music is very cool too...

rujomarco 2014-05-01 01:21

i love the pixel art style and the fake scanlines effect
very nice entry

kevlanche 2014-05-03 13:43

Cool atomsphere. I enjoyed it, even though it was a bit short.

greatbigjerk 2014-05-03 13:49

Very nice looking, but text is hard to read when it's dark. UI should be on a layer above that stuff.

againey 2014-05-19 21:03

Good framework, but was lacking any real gameplay. I never had to make a decision that seemed to matter, or solve a puzzle that felt rewarding.
