Well, it works. (I think). It is not very well-designed in my opinion. I see what you are trying to implement in the mechanics, but it is too much affected by randomness. For example: randomly mining-not regulating- got me a score of 6360.
It's got weird mechanics, and sort of obscure mechanics. It's got a nice tutorial and an advanced tutorial, but it requires some time to understand it all.
After some runs it's hard to know when to spend materials on temperature or methane, there's a lot of info and it's hard to know which buttons to use. Highest score: 5478.
Your link is suddenly broken :/
oh, sorry my fault.(its fixed)(sorry for that)
Nice mechanics, good job ;)
Pretty neat idea. I ended up with 11,120 for my score =)
You didnt have a Web version but a Windows one.
I got 8829 :) It's interesting to see a game done entirely with Windows Forms!
Its confusing at first but one you figure it out its definitely interesting and impressive for such a simple game. I managed to get 14845 on my second try.
Very cool idea actually, after I understood it. It's seems like it's mostly hard to understand because of language difficulties. You could maybe ask someone who is better at written English to proof-read it next time? I only say it, because I think it's a shame that an interesting mechanic like this gets overlooked because it's hard to understand.
I really liked the evacuation mechanic, and the gambling feel to it all! Getting rewarded for quitting at the right time is a pretty cool idea in this kind of game. Kind of a Blackjack-feel. Managed to get 20834 with it!
The Alert button was weird though. Why not display the score at all times?
Really simplistic, but very boring visually. Plus, I really had no idea how much methane and how much heat it could bear, so the whole mineshaft blowing up thing came out of nowhere. I would have liked some visuals to show how deep the mine is, how much methane, how much heat, etc. I feel like this game should be remade with visuals, but otherwise nice job.
Very interesting game! Cool idea! i got 4780 (try number 8) :c it was very fun, great work :D
