wow that's a lot of bling and juice! i really like the tree smashing. graphics are great in general - you did that in a couple of days? nice. the gameplay is limited, especially the win conditions...i felt like there could have been something more interesting there but whatever - excellent work!

Yep, mostly done in two days with a little on the 3rd (eg. win condition :P). We definitely should have made the trees part of the game mechanic :D

Other than the webplayer is lagging a bit, it is great :)

Impressed with how much you got done in the time and liked the way you used the sound on game over. Only issue I had was that the page would reload everytime I restarted.

botreats 2014-04-29 13:43

The graphics are great! I don't like how restarting reloads the entire page/game, but I had fun with this.

Lovely visuals!

Love the graphics, and it's fun to play too. A bit frustrating when you're first figuring things out, but I got the hang of it.

This is a pretty sweet game! I was trying to find ways to get ALL THE GOLD (and diamonds).

Wow, really nice presentation!

Good use of sound. I liked the effects you used. Nice work.

The individual graphics look really nice, but they didn't combine well. I feel like you need some kind of digging effect, maybe a 2d animation and/or particles. Just bouncing around didn't say "digging" as much as it said "broken" to me.

meant to ask - intentional similarity to Digger? http://youtu.be/RKn2PQGydYY

calrk 2014-05-01 10:45

Hmm its not intentionally similar to any other game. We based it a bit off games like minecraft and terraria, having voxel grid based world, but with different gameplay style.

Whoa, this is flashy. I turned off bloom and volumetrics and it ran fine. I like that spinning thing that happens when you get monstered.

fox_in_sox 2014-05-02 07:25

Nice game, but I got caught pretty easily.:D It plays a bit slow, maybe a turn based gameplay would be better, but otherwise it's fun.

mintarcade 2014-05-02 08:44

Fantastic visuals and audio, controls need more polishing, but I have a blast playing it.

nizar89 2014-05-02 11:05

There is maybe too much ennemy, I felt like playing pac-man with 10 ghosts :). But it was fun overwise!

caridorc 2014-05-02 11:36

This game is pretty well done, I enjoed finding some gold underground

dustystylus 2014-05-02 12:00

This is great! Had to disable volumetrics/bloom on macbook, but once it was up to speed, there's a nice game here. Could do with at least _some_ restriction on where monsters can move. PS - Best loading screen ever. ;-D

degtyarev 2014-05-02 15:39

Good use of vfx!

darknessfades 2014-05-05 13:18

Love graphic and sounds :P But it seams a bit like another Motherload :C

davidwparker 2014-05-07 15:31

As the others said, flashy, could use a little more game play. I turned off bloom and volumetrics and it was a lot smoother.

littleball 2014-05-12 18:43

Great that you can support different systems. At first I thought I could not play at all, but turning the graphics down let me play quite smoothly.

There is a good bit of cat and mouse gameplay too!

simianlogic 2014-05-17 17:34

Performance isn't great (mac book pro), but with all the bells and whistles turned off it ran pretty smoothly. Gameplay is pretty simple -- wish there was a bit more strategy to it (make make it turn based to make up for perf?). You got monstered!
