I really loved it!!! Cute design, awesome music choice. I spent more time on it than I thought I would. I just found a flaw, when you win cash, if you clicks on "Help" button then close the help, it credits you again the money, so infinite money XD
Pretty nice game in both terms of graphics and music. Great work :)
it's addictive, i love it.
Really liked the progression system on this one. You can really feel the difference with every round. Great job!
Left click doesn't seem to work. It plays digging sound, but no actual digging happens. On Firefox.
Like the art and the music. Fun to play.
Really good game! There is progress feeling with the things we dig. The game is stable, just a little bug, but not blocking, when we move while the rocket is landing we are in the dirt. I like it, thanks for your game!
@euske , you need to hold down the left mouse button :)
Wow, such underated gem, tip:if you want more review (20 in every category to qualify) just play others people games ,rate them and comment a review
Kinda addictive. The short loop drives makes sure that you always want to reach deeper grounds on your next trip, that's cool! The digging feels satisfying and I was eager to find more vegetables, even after finding the horrible monsters of the depths. The only thing that put a bit of a damper on my explorations was the slow physics - moving sideways is really slow and the vegetables seemed getting pushed away when nearing them. But I liked the art and music! The little dude has character and the different planets made me curious to visit them.
...one last thing though: I got no credits when getting diamonds, oil or anything on the second planet. That took my drive out of it - why get further when there is no reward?
Very fun game, good art and music.
Fun and addictive gameplay. 10/10 would go mining for space carrots again.
Great game! I love games like that. Progress fill smooth. Both art and music fit together nicely. I have the same comment as people before. Getting diamonds and oil from the second planet does not give you any points.
Cool game, a little too basic but still funny, there is some bug in materials recuperation.
I am a bit confused. How do i dig? I land on the planet and got like 30 sec to figure out what to do? I like how everything feels and how the player and rocket just splat on the planet! There is a bug, where you press the help when the time runs out, you softlock the game.
Cute game, I really like the bit-music. At the beginning I was confused with the digging, because you need longer when you don't click again on the new tile - so when you continue digging by newer lifting the mouse key. Also the first times on the planet are really short. I relly would like to see the deeper layers, but I am not patient enough ;)
a bit buggy but i love the game, well done!
Fun game, has a decent amount of bugs, though. Played for longer than any other game so far so that's saying something.
Like many others I played way more than I thought I would in the first time, the progression system is nice! But god please fix the digging! Sometimes it took me 0.5s with pickaxe lvl 3 to dig a block and some other times it took me like 5/6s. This is kinda frustrating haha! But good joob anyway was quite fun :)
Nice concept ! This is the kind of addictive game I like =) !
Too bad, the digging is a bit glitchy... Sometimes, I can hold the mouse and dig deeper and deeper, and other times, I have to release the click and hold it again. Also, there are cases where I cannot pick up items even if my inventory is not full, and I feel like the early game scaling is a bit harsh : new resources doesn't earn much more than the carrots.
Its motivation every time again because of the shop system. Maybe the thirth level was not finish? Or was that a bug that it look like the first one? But its a fun game.
Super addictive! I feel like the beginning of the game could be a bit easier.
Very solid entry! This game has a lot of content. It was atmospheric, exciting and addicting, I had a lot of time playing it. Everything in this game is great: idea, gameplay, graphics, music and sound. On the other side, it does seem that you over-scoped it, as the last two planets are not finished and kind of break the excitement. It would be better to either limit it to one planet or to reduce the scope of the first planet and put some things to the rest. Small finished game is usually better than big unfinished one. Also, some more polish would be great, as sometimes the character went through the tiles and sometimes collisions with resources weren't recognized. It would also be great to understand why you're mining potatoes from alien planets. :smile:
But overall, it's a really great game and you did a very good job putting it together!
I managed to get to the second planet, and it was quite fun getting there, but at the same time quite a few things seemed a bit broken or missing when I played it. Most annoying was that the digging only sometimes registered what tile I was hovering and the character was often refusing to pick up the loot though I had space left in the inventory.
Back in the upgrade menu, the level of each item didn't at all align with the buttons and I would really have liked to be able to see how much the next upgrade cost.
And I needed 1000 before I could upgrade the rocket to go to another system even though I had most of it left after the upgrade (which left me very confused).
On the new planet I somehow managed to get down to where the stuff was and got the character to pick up two items, but back in the ship they didn't count for anything, so I gave up.
I ran the game in Firefox on Windows.
Fun game, a little bit too grindy.
When I came to the blue planet there was no resources I dug down until my oxygen ran out, but did not see any!
That was good :) I’d like to see the game further developed.
