Great game ! I loved it it's simple but effective, and the mechanic of fitting items in your inventory is quite amusing :) there's just a little bug when you rotate the items they kinda go away but other than that it's really well made :D
The game is really interesting, but it is a bit hard to get enough currency to buy more time, even more to buy the other stuff. The idea is really cool but the shop lack a bit of other upgrades and/or balancing. Other than that it was really fun to play :) Well done !
It's a really well made game I did enjoy it, but it's a bit sad that you have a limited number of run, the map is big and it's hard to find every artefact with that limited time, also I'm not sure how much time left I have, it would be nice to have some kind of indicator. Other than that I really liked the mechanic of digging where you have to keep your cursor in a certain area, that's a really cool one :)
@cruise-elroy Thanks a lot for the feedback, that's great to hear :) The fog of war is really simple, black blurry tiles that disappear as you walk through, but I couldn't polish it more and have something more noticeable, the way it ended up feels like you can't really see much outside of the light and the fog doesn't exist inside of it so I'm glad you noticed it ^^
@radjax Thanks for your feedback :) I didn't take time to balance everything about the upgrades but it should be enough for a jam. The random generation started from a little code I already had that helped me design the world, generating a texture with noise colors, I just had to tweak the values to my needs :)
@ira-baciu Oops I forgot to make it public ! You should have access now !
@ira-baciu Well not really it might be the web build that doesn't handle lights well :/ I recommend playing the Windows build to avoid any bug (there is one when you can no longer enter the mine if you lose in the mine which isn't present in the Windows build) and also your progression is correctly saved on this build.
@winter2277 Thanks a lot ! That's great to hear :) and yes indeed you will never find the end of the world as it's infinitely generated, unless your computer runs out of memory because I didn't make a chunk unloading system oops
@kazuren Thanks for the kind words ! I would definitely have polished it more if I hade more time I definitely would have tweaked the generation I agree that it's pointless to go further right now, rendering some abilities useless (like the light duration). And also yeah I could have placed the mine entrances differently to avoid this running back and forth.
@mrv I'm aware of that bug, it doesn't occur on the Windows build but yeah that happens on the web build :c
You can full screen if you scroll the 2 scroll bars down and right there is a button to do so ! I liked this game but I couldn't get enough stamp money each time :c and also the SFX are a bit loud :/
There are no links available :(
I played the itch.io web version and there are a few problems, first you can't play in full screen and the app is too big so it's just cropped and half the screen is missing. Then I couldn't buy the third ability it just didn't work (or what I believe was the third ability, again the app as cropped I didn't have the full button) and also some part of the game has missing tiles and it's just pink textures everywhere. Other than that I enjoyed it the game has potential and every aspect was taken into account :)
