I really liked the game, sadly it crashed before I could finish.. But I enjoyed the space feeling, especially jumping around in low-G.

atosgame 2021-04-27 11:17

I really liked this game, it has a simple proposal, but very well done and polished, congratulations!

klaaswag 2021-04-27 12:55

@maxlegr Sorry to hear about the crash, but nice to know you liked the game!

I really really enjoyed the music! love it! I notice that if I go close to the bricks, I can not laser break it... Not sure if it is the design or bug. Overall, cool idea and smooth role control. Good job!

nice short game

dont like to jump in low g)

would be nice to have some gameplay diversity

mrbrainfed 2021-04-27 15:10

Such a nice, chill game! I could play this for ever! It's a bit buggy though, and around 20 minutes in it crashed on me. Otherwise, great game!

tengusheath 2021-04-28 05:33

Cool idea, I like it.

elektroney 2021-04-28 11:29

Reminds me of starbound a bit nice game!

pizzart64 2021-04-28 11:48

After a while starts getting less fun but a nice game still

maja-salamon 2021-04-28 13:07

Surprisingly fun, feels a bit strategy based, because I was nervious since the beginning that I could get in a position where getting to the surface was impossible. Forces me to plan a bit, great job.

initialposition 2021-04-28 13:17

This was a nice experience! The controls were very nice, the jump may be a bit floaty. Collecting ores was fun, just shooting your way through the rock felt very rewarding and collecting the ores had a nice feeling of success attached to it. I had one block I couldn't break and that had no collision, other than that I didn't notice any bugs. The music is SUPER NICE, I loved the atmosphere it created. Graphics are simple and fit the gameplay nicely. Good job!

Nice game

barisc 2021-04-28 14:03

Pretty good idea and game, Starbound vibes :)

crazybot 2021-04-28 14:09

I liked it a lot, but there's a glitch where you can't mine the block right in front or behind you. the game also crashed two times out of three...

I also quite liked the graphics, very cute :D

eugenik 2021-04-28 20:05

Excellent. Beautiful

sasashasa 2021-04-29 11:01

This is a really cool game. Very infuriating UFOs. I am waiting for the continuation.

wormholegames 2021-04-29 12:44

@nyanpierre @barisc @crazybot @eugenik @sasashasa @initialposition @maja-salamon Thank you everyone for the nice comments! We will definitly look at the issues you have had. Cheers!

erkberg 2021-04-29 16:10

Well, this seems like a nice game, and it has a really peaceful mood due to the nice visuals and music. But unfortunately I couldn't get very far due to the game crashing (once when I pressed X to return, once when I collected the first ore). Apart from that: It seems like the 50 ores you need to collect are just all of the ores? That seems a bit much and might lead to a softlock when teleporting back to much... I'm curious to see where the game goes after the first stage, please let me know when it is more stable and I'll give it another shot :)

lesinvisible 2021-04-29 16:51

Main gameplay may be a little too simple, but the atmosphere is good. I liked the controls and very consistent graphics.

legolula 2021-04-29 18:06

Its a simple but fun game, I only think it would make more sense if gravity decreased as you go deeper to be more realistic. Solid entry!

wormholegames 2021-04-29 18:16

@legolula Hey, The gravity actually does decrease when you go deeper! you can see it on the top right how much stronger it is.

wormholegames 2021-04-29 18:18

@erkberg Oh that shouldn't happen! Can you try to wait until the arrow above the first ore has appeared?

narwaffles 2021-04-29 18:20

Cool game. One issue I had is that I couldn't break the stones/ores directly infront of me, but could break stones/ores directly below me. I also noticed that the time to break stones and ores would be different for each one. Some would break easily while others would take longer. This was true for both laser guns. I really like how gravity would change depending on how deep you were. It would have been cool if HP was the ships as I could just hide and not care about the ufo's until I came out to deposit the ores and then immedietly hide underground again.

breadstix 2021-04-30 23:19

I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with this. I wish I could have played longer but I ended up crashing. I noticed one crash happened with I got too many ores and didn't bring them in. For what I got to play each time I thought it was fun. The graphics I thought were great and I liked the gameplay.

nocymer 2021-05-04 20:33

love the level design and the pixel art, the game was fun to play and the music was good, well done!

pedro-henrique-cesar 2021-05-05 23:35

Good concept, level design is well done, simple graphics but delivers nicely and the sound track fits with the atmosphere. Good game!
