it was pretty confusing at first, i like the card idea though, but it's mainly based on luck isn't it?

Fun! It was frustrating at the end how I had clicked too fast and had disappearing cards (limiting my choices to 1), but overall a great digging and treasuring card game.

Fun little game, i got the bug where i only got one card each turn, this caused me to get stuck down in the lower left corner of the playfield for about 100 turns. After a while, i stopped receiving cards all together. What can i use the resources i mine for? Good job!

Could you please provide a .zip?

Hey, thanks.

@TomBoogaart: A lot of luck, sure. But there is not the same chance of every card for all the game. The possibilities changes as you make progress. It's still not perfect, and may be pretty annoying, but hey! That's just a bad luck then! :)

@JALgames: sure mate! .zip is available now.

@Mstrp2ez: Hey, thanks for playing. And ye, I know about this bug, it's a "relic" of the old mechanic, which I had no time to implement. It doesn't happen all the time and the game is beatable. But unfortunately I cannot remove the disappearing card problem with a little effort.

@Mstrp2ez: Ah, and the resources are handy at the end of the game ;)

It was fun, reminds me of a board game called RoboRally. It took me some time to realize that the effects of the chests (and the rest of the information) is in the bottom left corner though.

My middle card disappeared at one point I thought it was because I broke an engine by ramming into a solid rock.

Interesting idea, could make a funky board game too! Bugged a bit when the "play card" animation didn't play and I could no longer play any more cards, but reached the bottom. Visuals're good too! :D

Great idea! The only issue I had was that in 98% of all turns my only option was to go down, so I had a really hard time getting all the ores.

Played it until the end! I found the hermit hut that showed me the orb. Awesome game :)

Great game, good combination of a card game with mining

@Jed T.: You're the boss! I doubted that anyone would beat this game here ;) Even with little cheats I had some problems beating it by myself while testing.

Very nice. I liked the card mechanics. Some sounds would have made it a very solid game.

nushriell 2014-04-28 18:51

Nice idea and good game.

fgm 2014-04-29 20:26

Cool idea. Like the combination game types. The card possibility made the game a little bit difficult though. You could maybe try a different card bias.

Game was fun, I liked the concept, although the disappearing card bug that left me with only one option was really bothersome and left me trapped in a corner at the bottom.

jpdev 2014-04-29 20:37

played through it. have you changed stuff around? (Because it was easy to beat for me, the comments suggest it's kind of hart. I made it to the end screen with the planet thingy. - tough I was getting frustrated at the end.. had to go 5 fields right.. took forever since I always drew GO LEFT cards ^^ )

kar 2014-04-30 18:13

I haven't changed anything ;) If it was easy for you, you may feel lucky (we can call it a "skill" if you prefer :D)

The game basically froze once when I tried to walk to the right into a wall. Also it gave me around 20 downs and lefts in a row. I'm on the bottom row and need to get to the bottom right and it seems to be nearly impossible (also to go up is very difficult) Why does it give me down and left so frequently when I am in the bottom left corner of the map?

almost 2014-05-01 00:08

To elaborate, I probably had 1 up in 40 cards, and just kept going down and left until by some fluke I drew around 8 rights in a row and eventually made it to the one tile that I needed to reach.

Pretty cool idea! Kept getting down and right cards though so i just got stuck on a stone :(
