So fun and super addicting! I want more diamonds!!!
Honestly any voxel game in a Ludum Dare is impressive, and this one is pretty fun as well. Nice work!
I love mining style games. This one was fun, but I think you guys knew that. My only gripe was that I kept getting stuck after mining a block. It was as if an invisible block.
Great game! I think the physics needs a little bit of work though.
@elitegoliath I know, I was getting stuck on the physics, seems that you have to mine a little faster than you move, even though the JAM is over, I still am going to look at it and see what I can do about it! Thanks for the feedback!
Cool idea, I have a soft spot for digging games. It's rough around the edges but I see a lot of potential, and what's there is executed well. Keep it up!
@wheffle Thank you so much, this is my first game jam, and it has been such an amazing experience!
@beanslasher Any time!! Also, if you ever have questions, I am always willing to help. This was a larger undertaking than a lot of people might know, and I think that you did excellent. WORLDS better than my performance in my first LD. +1
@elitegoliath Thank you for the offer, I may take you up on that! I am always down to expand my horizons!
Fun little miner, really appreciated having a jetpack. All games should have jetpacks. ALL GAMES. Good work, I made 700 bucks which might just about cover my jetpack fuel expenses
@voxel haha thank you for your input! I really enjoyed myself making this game
Fun concept, like a 2d minecraft speedrun or something. The collision seems a bit off and it was a bit annoying sticking on things alot. But overall a nice experience!
I found the mining mechanics a little tricky, I think it would be nice if I click a block away from the edge, it would mine all the way through to it, its a bit annoying when I click a block further in but can't move until the close one is also broken. I also found that the player got a little stuck here and there against the side. Idk if any of that made sense, wasn't really sure how to word it...Anyway, aside from those nitpicks, its a very fun little game, I made about 750 once!
Interesting concept! Lighting was pretty cool. More sound for when you mine stone would be good, as well as some better collisions. Great work!
Love the minimalist graphics !!
Really fun game! The collisions were a bit hard to handle at first but not that insurmountable
Nice work! Great mood!
Maybe you should keep the Y-axis velocity when moving the player so that we can dig down more easily.
I like the use of the theme. Having the player think quickly about the most efficient way to get to the next ore deposit opens up a lot of choices for the player.
When I saw the final score I felt that the cost of stone was too low. I didn't really try to reduce the amount of stone I mined and it was easily outweighed by coal, which I didn't go out of my way to get. If you restructure the game to be about trying to keep a mining company profitable and greatly increase the cost of stone, then it could make for a really interesting puzzle-type game.
It's a pretty cool entry, but it's not very innovative, and the physics need work. Also, the theme isn't obvious in the slightest here. How is the theme here?
@move127 I now realize the stone value could be too low, but I don't know if they would let me change that since it is not really a bug. But thank you so much for your input I like hearing your guys's responses!
@ncpresident35 The physics are one thing if I were to go back on that would need improvement. The theme is basically the more stone you have, the worse the profit. If you do not mine any ores then you profit will go negative. Thank you for your constructive criticism, I enjoy it!
@mr-matt Great suggestion, I know what you mean, I wanted to do that, but I ran out of time :p I had my 9-5 job to go to haha
Cool little addictive game .. how did you reach those 1037$?! Maybe minig stone shouldn't be that cheap.
@the-triumvirate Thank you for the response, I will definitely change the value of stone, a quick 1 minute fix, however I don't know if I can fix it, as its not a bug. I don't know the LD rules about that
nice simple little game. Only got $800 though. There is a little bug where I don't fall while I'm touching a wall. Great idea though!
Look, I thought it was cool!
A very original idea.
Platforming physics are a bit janky. Still, I'm a sucker for Minecraft/Terraria-type gameplay. Maybe you should consider adding stone types that subtract even more from your cash? Or which takes extra time to mine?
fun concept the animations feels odd according to the movement
First of all, this was real fun!
Concerning the graphics you did a great job, I have always liked pixel art and will always do! Concerning the audio, the music was great.
Overall I like this game so much. I had an amazing time playing it. Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam! Namnlös13.png
