A really well-made game, great job! I absolutely love the jet-propelled jump physics.

A really well-made game, great job! I absolutely love the jet-propelled jump physics.
Cool to see someone who was inspired to try game creation by that old flash game Motherload.
I loved it .It is a beautiful retro-arcade like game with lots of modern elements.Music reminds me of a good old mario game .It combines timing and resource management upgrades scale perfect and the movement is smooth. I am very curious to see what you can create if you have more than 3 days of time. Congratulations looking forward to see your games in steam and google play !
What a great game! Definitely in line with the theme. I felt like the controls were very good and intuitive, and the tension to get back to the fuel station in time made for an exciting experience. Good work, high level of polish.
Ah, nostalgia. I like this game very much. My current record is -872m, I think it's enough :P My only complaint would be the screen shaking while digging, it's too big in my opinion.
@zimny11 Yep, thanks for pointing that out. It is a bug and I am not sure if I can fix it since the deadline is over.
i really like upgrade system fits the theme very well just one minor note the screen shake is a bit intense overall very good game great job
favorite game of the jam so far. love the soundtrack, love the graphics, but goddamn the best part here is the simple gameloop and controls that just feel SOOOO good. I'm not sure if I was misunderstanding something but there were instances in which I was trying to sell my minerals and it deducted money from me instead of giving me money--- is that right? Do some minerals dock you? anyhow, really loved this, very sweet. I played it on stream here: https://youtu.be/exZFt8U6w5s
@stephen-scott-day Yep, unfortunately that is a very rare bug :( Thanks for playing it on stream though! Means a lot.
One of my favourites I've played so far. Great graphics, music and gameplay loop :)
Bring on the drilling games! Well done! I like how physics-y it is. This kind of game is my comfort food.
Cute music, very old school but did get very repetitive for me very quickly. Would have loved more variety. The SFX were nice and fit in well.
Lovely made, very clean. The camera shake was a little bit too much for me though.
Such a great soundtrack! Starts out slow but becomes very addictive with different types of ore and upgrades, really got me hooked! Well done!
Love the happy music and the lil animations. Great job
Cute little game- loved the pixel art and the auto-tiling when digging. :) I played up until a depth where you first start to get lapis, and I think the game was surprisingly well balanced for the duration I played. While the game is grindy in nature, I never felt like I was grinding around a certain depth repeatedly before I could purchase upgrades to make it further. I made rather steady progress in terms of seeing new ore types and being able to get new upgrades, keeping things relatively interesting throughout. Such balance is really hard to do in these types of games, especially in a game jam- nice work!
