Well done! This felt like a really good entry to play, I appreciate having a controls and how-to-play in the game itself, it's genuinely really nice to have that! Now onto the gameplay, it is really fun trying to dig down and watching your summons catch up to you and help you out! I do wish there was some sort of way to pick which column the summoned dwarven soul spawns on, though! Overall a really good jam entry and a real treat to play!
Pico 8 games always impress me, I love how much you've achieved with it!
Fun game, maybe score points that appear when you mine a ore can be to flashy, but overall nice game! And done on PICO-8!
Incredible entry, nice pixel art, good FX it makes me want to know more about pico 8 being honest :)
keep it up ;)
I adore PICO-8 games and this one was just a perfect small arcade game. Absolutely loved this one. Didn't quite get why do I summon lost dwarves but who cares.
@dogshroom haha, thank you, I'm glad you liked it. The part with summoning lost dwarven souls sounded better in my head, lol :smile:
Pico 8 really gives it a distinctive retro feel
Big fan of the intro cutscene and the overall look is incredibly charming. Struggled with the controls a little but that’s on me for not reading properly at the start
What a cute PICO-8 game! It's always wonderful to see nice pixel art yes
Interesting concept! Really liked the pixel art
Foarte super ideea, imi place mult cum ti-a iesit pixel artul! Mi-a dat vibe de Gandalf pierdut in minele din Moria :)) Bravo si mult noroc in continuare!
Very cool entry, I just love that Pico-8 aesthetic, and you nailed it. Congratulations on your first Pico game, awesome work!
Nice entry !! Really impress to see some Pico 8 games !
The game was pretty fun and I like the idea. Great sounds, graphics and music. I'm not sure if I missed something but couldn't get too far, I only could mine to around the second type of rock and then the game ends. Does the game end when the lava hits unmined rock or how does it work? Even mining on the top it seemed super difficult to make it any deeper.
Great job on the game!
@kuggenhoffen Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, the game is supposed to end when the player hits the lava or if the lava hits the top level. To finish the game you mush mine all layers and reach the bottom without the lava hitting you or the rocks. I noticed the version I posted here was harder and because of that I posted an easier version on on itch io.
Great vibes in this game with incredible music. I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing. I just mined, spam summons and failed every single time. I guess from reading the comments that I need to strip mine the whole place so I suppose I give it another shot because of the banger music. Nice job!
Nice game, though i first had to familiarize myself with the controls. I agree with @kuggenhoffen that it is not very clear that you have to mine all of the rocks. I thought i just had to get to the bottom as fast as i can, primarily in a straight line. But i liked the overall responsiveness and feel of the game!
It's a good game, but I feel like the controls are weird.
I loved the pico-8 aesthetic. The only feedback would be to speed things up a bit and make more clear how much I need to summon a new worker. Other than that, great submission!
Great game! I love the feel of the art, especially the cover. Thanks for the game.
@prcastro The price for summoning is available when you press P, I did not say where to find it so its my bad. Thank you
If anyone has trouble with completing the game I uploaded an easier version on itch.io https://klauss.itch.io/dwarven-escape
