The game has a funny atmosphere, and the banjo music really helps that feeling! Graphics could be better. Gameplay is easy to understand, and can keep the player interested, but maybe some more features, like the tavern should be added to make the gameplay more varied. One complaint I have, is that the amount of gold you have is rounded, when it is in the thousands. This becomes a problem when trying to buy a pickaxe, that requires 1.5k gold, but you only know when you have 1k or 2k...

western atmosphere and good mood.

Nice story and ending, I liked the stats it gives there.

Also, I did the Linux version, and it seems like you start out with 100k, that's probably a bug :P

Very nice game and very nice music :D Yeah I also had the problem when saving to 1.5K and also I din't know what to hire the guys for but it became clear pretty fast so that's okey. Really liked the game acually good job :)

Thanks for your feedbacks :D

The 100k start in linux is a mistake :'( It seems that the unity used an old save to build because the bug doesnt appears on windows version of the game.

This was a fun 10 minute clicker game, kept me playing until I got that diamond pickaxe - Though I originally thought the INN was a little overpowered but without it I wouldn't have reached the billion gold to get the pickaxe. Nice little ending, Nice work.

I found it satisfying to see my workers actually go into the mine and watch them "mine". I also noticed the dynamic music when changing menus and I thought that was a cool touch!

That was pretty neat. I got myself a mythril (diamond?) pickaxe and retired =). Quite the return on investment at that Dwarven Tavern - I guess no one else drinks as much as dwarves do, especially next to a mine! Sometimes the rounding of the numbers was a bit too much, and confused me - I think I had "2K" but couldn't buy something costing "1500", or maybe I clicked to buy something costing "2K" and then it said "-1500", either way, probably would have been better to always round the same, and always round down, so "2K" means "more than 2K" so you always know you actually have an amount or not.

A relaxing clicker game with a good atmosphere. The music is really good, the dynamic side is a good plus. The ending is cool too!

It was suprisingly fun! Good work

Thai is quite the inovative idea, loved the experience, 10/10

Good game, I think the math is a bit wrong (1M is actually 1.5M? and similar), but once I got going and making enough in second building - I could buy almost all upgrades within few minutes.

One note though - the music was awesome and fitting the game perfectly.

Keep up the good work!

It was so simple, but I couldn't stop clicking, so I'm now a 3 billionaire! I did want to click on the people around the fire though. It was fun!

Wonderful game! Felt complete in its creation. Did notice a bug with the Final Axe costing 1e^9 instead of 1B. Keep making awesome games!

Nice)

The decision to not say anything about the gameplay is an interesting one. Maybe give one hint, like telling people to explore by clicking with the mouse, lol. I think the music is perfect and the blocky graphics are really quirky and cute. Is there a score counter on screen? I have a wide monitor and wasn't sure if it is getting cut off or if it was deliberately not included. Just curious. The prologue is a nice touch, I enjoyed the game!

Hey @ruthiepee thanks for the feedback. There is no score on the screen, the only thing that can be compared to a score is the amount af gold you've earned. The end of the game (when you buy the last pickaxe or when you decide to retire in the tavern) is showing you some stats about what you achived ;)
