Its quire impressive to do a solid mining base in such a short time on a new engine <3 Well done.

The time limit is a bit harsh as you can barely do anything.

Kudos for learning a new engine in such a small time. One thing I would have loved is a key to mine instead of the mouse click. Congrats!

Solid concept and mechanic and great progression. Great game.

The idea is great but the execution is a little worse. It seems a bit buggy and unresponsive, but otherwise it's very enjoyable!

@danvil You can buy more time in the shop (icon in the top right).

Great game

Neat game. Good job. I've used Phaser a bunch... pretty great. If you haven't tried it check out PIXI also... less of a game engine and more of a renderer but if you're a JS person you might like it. I set up a decent boilerplate for it.

Is there no "play new game" button after game over? It's a little frustrating. And i really miss "pause button", especially in the game with time limit. But core mechanic really solid and game is fun to play. Great job.

The idea is solid, and it's impressive that you managed to finish it when you never used the engine before. Maybe you can add a key to toggle the shop so it's easier to quickly buy time and upgrades. But overall a great entry :)

fun game :3!!

Cool game! I love games where you can mine everything around you. A little clunky controls though. Great entry!

As someone who also created a "digging game", I appreciate the unique take that you took with yours. It's a nifty little game. I would have perhaps added a slight nod to the fact that you can buy more time. When I got to gameover scene the first time, I was also expecting some way to restart the game without having to reload the app.

Still, like so many have said before, nicely done given that you used the engine for the first time. :thumbsup_tone1:

Quite addictive game. The controls could use a little work. It would be more comfortable if you can leave a button pressed to mine. Maybe also add a description of the upgrades.

Nice simple concept and your artstyle seems pretty consistent :thumbsup_tone1: I hope you had great fun making it :smile: solid work

I hope you'll drop by mine and give it a spin :wink:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

Nice game! :slight_smile:

I like this! It's a simple concept which I think has quite a lot of roof for potential if you develop it further. A future improvement could be to be able to mine just with the keyboard and directional arrows instead of the mouse (Actually spent a while trying to find the correct key to mine with!). Overall enjoyed this though!

turquoise-moon 2021-04-28 05:09

This is fun. It got a little glitchy when I went too far to the left, but otherwise everything seems to work fine.

panzershrek 2021-04-28 07:48

Good concept, but I had hard time digging my way down. Like someone else say in comment, you should enable mining with keyboard. But still a good little mining game ! GG

matif100 2021-04-28 08:11

Nice concept, but there was a small problem that when trying to mine you cannot just hold mouse button and walk, you have to move mouse, or it doesn't seem to detect you are trying to mine. I like the idea, but i feel the time limit is too harsh as well

xoreaxeax 2021-04-28 08:12

Very cool idea! I like the time management + mining fusion very much :) The controls are unfortunately a little glitchy/unresponsive.

ogelgames 2021-04-28 09:48

Nice little game, it was a bit confusing to start, but once I realized I could buy more time (if only that was possible irl...) it was fun, and I managed to buy all the upgrades :)

rick2112 2021-04-28 15:24

All I want to say was already told^^ A new Game button will be nice and hold left mouse button for mineing will be nice too. Its also a great game.

Congratulations on your next LD game! Controls and movement could be improved. But beside that, nice game!
