This is a very interesting concept! I thought that the variety of different nodes was interesting. At some point there were no more upgrades available, even thought I had seen nodes available that I hadn't gotten yet (because I didn't have enough money yet) - I wasn't sure if that was intended or not. Either way, this is one of the more unique games I've played so far.
Wow a node-based drill game? Sign me up! Very fun, excellent progression mechanics.
Very fun! Wouldn't mind a full game of that concept, I got roped in very quickly xD The audio may need a bit more variety, the "doot" when collecting ore gets old quick - but that's my only caveat.
Fun game, looks great. Was interesting figuring out the connection logic.
I couldn't figure out how to get past this point (not sure how to upgrade the shop further). Seems like it's not the end as there are more slots for batteries on the drill power.

@dstoc thanks for playing our game! you've unlocked everything actually, the slots of the drill continuing to go up is a bug. we didn't have time to add any kind of 'you've found everything' screen so it just goes forever.
really fun when it works, but it was really difficult to know why stuff works or doesn't work. still have no idea what's the proper way to connect stuff, was mainly copying the screenshots and changing a couple of things :D
Make a zen mode please? XD ahaha It was fun connecting all the little node things >w< I did wish there was a slight BGM playing. :3c
I think smth wrong with sound, no sound in my right ear. I really liked the game, love connecting nodes. Game was easy to understand.
Can't believe you managed to make this in a single day! A simple yet addictive game with an innovative idea and beautiful art style. You guys did great!
Note: if you have time you should rate more games so your game gets recommended to more people, would be a shame if this game doesn't get a rating.

I was honestly bummed when I discovered I had reached the end of the game. :sweat_smile: I legitimately had fun slowly getting more and more powerful and connecting all of the nodes together. Nice job on this one!
Well done, it looks super polished and graphics are great with distinctive colors. Gameplay was fun and addictive once I got the hang of it.
Initially, I think I over-complicated the system in my head. Some configurations of the nodes didn't allow the drill to move, but there was no feedback as to why it wasn't working which had me stuck for a minute.
I saw above that you ran out of time to do a 'ending' screen, which was unfortunate. I can see this game being easily expanded upon with more mechanics, keen to see what you do with it in the future! Once again, well done!
yoooo \o/ wth this is so cool. I love all of it, the colours, sfx, hooking up the modules i wish it kept going ToT awesome 5/5 ez
Neat! I enjoyed how the upgrades directly impacts gameplay, it made progression feel meaningful and fun.
