Enjoyed this a lot ^_^ Consider a 'sell-all' option, as waiting for all the rocks to be sold can be annoying. The final upgrades should be more expensive as well, since by the end you're pretty OP. Mood could have benefited from catchy tune which plays as you mine, or even some ambient sounds in the background. Great work on this title :)
Screenshots look nice but my security settings keep blocking the java file from running. :(
Liked it a lot! Reminded me of previous mining games, but in the best way possible. I couldn't run the web version, but the desktop version worked fine.
Overall a very fun game. would have been nice to have been able to skip the cutscenes, as they took too long imo. The graphics were really nice (simple, yet well put together)
Looks like we both had a motherloadey inspiration :) Love the particles on your miner/block rewards, but the gameplay was slowed down a little bit by the forced text scrolley tutorials and the slow trip to the overworld (which you can of course upgrade but people may choose other powerups)
8.5/10 Really good but needs sound and a menu.CHECK OUT MY GAME
This is a pretty nice game. I really like the graphics, and the mechanic of upgrading your miner would keep you wanting to play for a while. It's like a little bit of Moon Patrol and Minecraft mixed together. One of my favorites. I just wish you could skip all the intro text!
I like it a lot! The only thing that really bugged me was the pacing. It was way to slow. I think the screen transitions could be faster and I should be able to skip the text. But with that fixed, this could be a really good game!
I really liked this game. Good job!
I really liked the gameplay and how the goal was introduced early on so you have an idea of what to do, the shop and GUI were really good but it needed at least a simple soundtrack or something, really good though!
Very well made game and would be very fun for me if it wasn't so slow-paced. It takes so long to move, buy, go down to the surface, come back, etc. It takes the fun away to wait so long to do everything.
I liked the ideas around it and how everything worked. If only it could be delivered a bit faster, it would have been perfect in my opinion.
Was definitely addictive. Had the problem of things like this it got progressively easier (though I did put myself into a fail corner at the start with over-heating and no fuel, but second go went smoothly). Definitely had charms though.
Also had this blocked in both Firefox and Chrome :(
Really polished! And also good to see another libGDX based game :-) Really like the 'surface' screen graphics ;)
Applet isn't working for me (Linux, UnsatisfiedLinkException when linking some library...)
Worked fine in my chrome, Great entry, similar to mine but yours looks prettier! played all the way to the end. some music would be make it better
not bad but a bit slow paced
Very well done and surprisingly complete for a Ludum game. I don't really have any complaints except maybe make the intro text skippable.
Awesome game! I impressed that it was made in 48 hours with libGDX :) Good job.
Even though the pacing was slow, I found the core loop very compelling and made it all the way to the end. Nice job!
Ahhh, good ol' Motherload... I missed a text skipping key though.
Damn it looks good, but blocked on my browser (I'll install the plugin later)
and when I download the desktop, a window opens and quicly closes :(
Mac 10.9, Java installed
I'll try again tonight :)
Nice game! A little too slow-paced, as others already mentioned, but quite addictive! I loved the smoke particles effect.
The incredibly slow pace of everything - from moving, to mining, to even selling your inventory (but worst of all, sitting through all the instructions) really killed my ability to enjoy this game.
Having a top-down perspective as opposed to Motherlode's side-view was a good choice to help differentiate yourself, but you lost the fun of falling/flying and didn't gain a whole lot. Should have taken advantage of it more.
Actually decent graphics, the mismatched pixel size of particles and stuff kind of blemished that though.
*sparkle*
Overall a really nice game. Nicely balanced although, I didn't get the armor upgrades or overheating (maybe I was just lucky) A side note would be to make the text skipable or at least speed it up. (but hey, unlike me you at least explained how your game works)
Too bad you can not skip the introduction. It is fun after a slow start.
One of my favorite games from this LD. Good early game balance between the upgrades and gameplay. I got to the end but I don't think I won...
