Fun concept, well-executed.
Pros: - Cute graphics - Good audio - Nice gameplay mechanics - Doggos :dog: - Multiple game modes - Polished
Cons: - Only thing I can think of: no UI showing your money when adventuring (or did I just miss it?)
Brilliant job, congratulations. :v:
@guladam Thanks for enjoying our game!
When adventuring your money shows up while in the store in the top left corner. We should have also added a counter somewhere while your just walking around. A bit of a overlook on our side
good graphics and audio, half real-time based mode is fun but sometimes i wish the pace can be a little faster
Wasn't expecting two games in one. Good job!
cool game! gameplay pacing works nicely imo and it's overall quite fun.
I can't imagine how you did it in such a limited period of time, I had a lot of fun to complete the game completely. Music and art are good.
This is so impressive! Wow !! I love the mechanics and the race against time. I really like how there's a separate timing to moving the gems/breaking bricks, so it's best to do both at the same time. The music and art is really nice. I have no complaints really. I guess I never felt a need to use bombs/planks, but I feel like they're a nice addition if I find myself struggling on a level.
Awesome game!
Good art and music! I couldn't find a way to use bombs and sticks, bought them anyway just not to make the dog sad. Also, when I pressed Q some dirty word appeared in up-right corner of the screen. Is it something, left from the development? Very good game, reminds me of those old mobile puzzle games. The music changes in different areas, so it's a solid five from me for audio!
Nice game! It was fun to play :)
The graphics look really good and the music as well as soundeffects are very fitting. At first I did not really understand adverture mode. Took me quite some time to understand that I had to interact with the gold veins. It also was a bit confusing that they kept randomly appearing and disappearing. Besides that the puzzles were quite fun. Great work! :)
@volodya I laughed when I realized I left this there... it's a placeholder debug screen which we didn't even use in-dev haha. My apologies! It isn't canonical to the game ;)
Very nice artwork!
I really like this game as an abstraction of mining, especially with the challenge of the later arcade levels. Looking forward to how you progress the adventure mode aspect of the game.
I love this game. The gameplay is addictive, the graphics, sound and music are great! The only thing that bothers me is that you don't know how many turns will it take for a tile to be disappear.
Really great atmosphere, audio+visuals were excellent, puzzle mechanics were great. All around excellent work on this one! Very polished. I was a little confused in adventure mode how I was able to pop a bunch of gems successfully, but when I reset to the store, I only had 1 gold, but I'm sure I just missed something at some point. Either way, the loop is great! Just a little more feedback to the player to keep them in the loop with game state (eg. how long until a tile disappears, info when money is earned). Really great work here! Very impressive.
Great job!! Having two different game modes is really impressive and the mining puzzles were fun with a nice balance of difficulty and fun. The overworld is simple and charming while the puzzles and shop have fantastic art! Also, groovy tune for the opening (has some Demon Tower feels).
