Really cool and well made! I like the concept ! ^^
Pretty fun. Wasn't able to beat it though.
Really nice concept, and I love the voice acting. The art is also very nice
Fun game, really hard, good work ^^
"Ok"
I loved directing the autonomous miners.
Incredible game, music was awesome, got me hooked but didnt know how to upgrade abilities, got two gold.
Awesome.
This is so awesome!
Really good game, but also quite difficult.
I like graphics a lot.
Great job! :D
Pretty cool.
Very Cool.
Enjoyable game. Didn't realize the acid was a bad thing at first though...
I was ONE ... BLOCK ... AWAY
This is a great concept. I think if you doubled the speed of the dwarves, it would help immensely, but man... this has a lot of potential for funtimes.
The first three time I played there was acid everywhere I looked, but finally the third time I got to the gem easily. There may have been a bit too much random variance in the level difficulty, but it was a very good game, and a very good start to an even better game. If you're going to keep working on this I'd suggest improving the dwarf path finding (so you can say mine to this, and they will path to the nearest location before digging), adding a difficult curve (start easy and then add more hazards), and purchasable upgrades (spend gold on increased vision, or a laser drill that mines multiple blocks). Gret job, you should keep working on this one.
Absolutely fantastic: the mood and mechanics were spot-on, the game felt balanced (!), and the objective was both clear and challenging. I felt that some "sonar" to hint at where oxygen is located might be helpful. Great job overall!
Good game.
Really cool concept! Tried a few times, but either the acid or hypoxia kills my dwarfes :-( Space is hard.
excellent, very creative gameplay, beautiful art, challenging, love it, well done :)
I like this. I'm going to have to come back and play it more later. Lots of stars for you.
Could possibly use a little more intelligent path planning. A lot of times, my dwarves took paths to get to where I wanted them to go that required a lot more mining than was actually necessary. If you expand it any more, you might want to get them to consider going around obstacles.
I awarded you a trophy. This post explains why: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/12/13/my-picks-for-ld31s-top-10-best-beards-manly-mustaches/
Ha, hey thanks for the trophy and mention! We're glad you were a fan of our dwarven droopy mustaches & beards. :)
Hey good work, bit of fun and well conceived!
Fun polished entry, although think it would be nice to pull the player in by having the first level a bit smaller so that they can pass and get some confidence. I made it to just a few blocks from the centre but just missed out with my O2 running out. Also nice to see Dwarves leave the caves and head into space.
After 3 playthrough (I won on the 3rd) I felt there was little strategy to this, It just came down to whether you would find gold/oxygen/acid on your way or not... (The item placement was completely random right?)
It's a shame because the idea is pretty neat, and the packaging is great, I must say. It's just not really fun to me since I don't feel I influence the winning condition...
Several JS errors with FF. The game wouln't start.
Really fun game play. Nice work.
Rather difficult, well thought out, pretty and addictive game!
Interesting! The graphics and sound are great. It's not immediately obvious that you have to find oxygen, I guess I missed that when I read the instructions. I'm glad you can click to have your dwarves mine a "path", but ideally I'd like some indicator showing where your dwarf is trying to dig to...A mark or waypoint or something. Also, I dug through a lot of stuff that looked it was...ore or something? But I didn't get any space gold. I was expecting to be able to use that mined-out stuff in some way. How about a key showing what each of the tiles is? Anyway, good job!
Really hectic once you get the hang of it. Neat idea and great execution!
Charming game :) I really like how honestly retro it feels, it's like one of those properly old games that maximised what it had to play with :)
At first I didn't know there were 3 dwarves. So you should make it clearer.
Then the dwarf selection is kinda awkward, clicking a tiny target like that. I think a numeric selection a la Syndicate original would have been nice.
then the dwarves are a little dumb? But that's ok if they don't have pathfinding, it's a jam :P
The gold... that's supposed to increase abilities... Did that get implemented? I can't tell.
I feel like I'd like more of an indication of when acid will advance/break through. That's a big vague thing so I never know if a dwarf is about to die or not. The same with rocks, I guess.
Very fun to play. The wall building was weird. I was always building a small wall even if I wait. I had to come back to ti to buidl a large one. Not veru sure of what happen.
Appart of that the game was celar and very addictive.
Amazing job!
I really liked the art, sound and mood, and the sense of progression. I'll have to come back and play this a little more because I never managed to survive very long.
I really like the art as well as the concept of the game. good job. Also i'm assuming that the goal is that colorful diamond in the middle gets really hard at times haha. good entry :D.
Even though two controls are being used, its still a good game taking on a hard theme. I like the game.
Cool. It's a fun concept, but finding enough 02 felt random. I got 1 block away on my first run and didn't even get close on the others. It's tricky splitting your attention between three hard-to-control dwarves. It's a really solid concept and execution, in any case.
fun
