Couldn't really keep my miners alive or get enough money to upgrade. Seems like it has a great amount of "depth" so to speak ;)
Boss battles felt quite punishing. I think of the controls were a little tighter/responsive you would be able to dodge their attacks easier
Looks/Sounds great! The controls can be a bit odd sometimes, but the experience is great!
@emily-pitcher I felt the controls were all over the place because I was using wasd to move and other keyboard buttons to interact and then also the mouse. If there was a way to be able to use one of those, like cycling through dialogue options with the keyboard or also being able to move to a mouse click would be nice.
Controls took some getting used to, but I started to get into the swing of it. The bars were moving a bit too much and became somewhat stressful even with the music, felt like it could've leaned into being a more "casual" experience. Scored 4576!
It was a fun little game to play. A gameplay critique I have is that the beasts feel like they just "appear". If they had glowing red eyes or something to give you a little warning they were close then I wouldn't feel like I kept getting damaged every time.
