I really like the game. It is very polished. I admire the number of systems that are interacting with one another at any point in the game. The game is pretty addictive too. This is aided by the low-entry level to playing and understanding the rules.
Probably a little text when hovering on the main menu items will help make things clearer. Moreover, sometimes I feel lost. I am not sure if this is intended as general feeling of mining or not. If not, probably a mini-map that is updated as the player explores more will help.
Also, If I decided to go to the second and third depth layers, I am not sure if I miss things in the pervious layers or they are regenerated again in the next layers.
Probably I need to invest more time in the game to get it.
Overall, the game is brilliant! it is fun and shows your passion, effort and time invested to create it. I believe it is market ready too. Looking forward to see its future updates.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, means a lot!
I'm happy you enjoyed the game and you had a positive experience :)
The points you mentionned make a lot of sense, I will look into it when working on future updates.
The goal is to release it to the public on the play store, I'm verry happy to hear that you find it market ready.
I appreciate you taking the time to give the detailed feedback, thank you.
I love the game especially the UI but after reading the description I'm still not clear about my objections in the game, but still I love the game
I love how calm the game is, it really reminded me of Minecraft with its relaxing vibe and mining mechanics. The art is also fantastic, and I really enjoyed how it all comes together
Great game and a really interesting idea! I’m super impressed that you made all the art for the game, and everything runs so smoothly. I’d suggest looking into the new player experience. For example, you could lower the initial stamina and start with a smaller mine so players can quickly understand the gameplay loop. Perhaps make the first mine free, give them 10 stamina to clear a few blocks, and when their stamina runs out, let them buy a potion that permanently increases stamina slightly. Then, guide them by setting a clear goal, like earning 100g for the next mine, so they don’t feel lost.
Otherwise, it’s a great game! The story elements were a nice touch, and congratulations on finishing the bootcamp!
Thank you for your feedback, really appreciate it!
You're right, what you said about new player experience is something I can work on. As I had too many things to do at once in the project, it was already intense to put everything together.
In the future I'll definitely think about adding this beginning progression, I really like the idea.
My weakness has always been game design 💀 But this kind of feedback is valuable to let me know what's missing, thank you.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game, means a lot :)
I love the fact that I need a proper strategy to win this game. Yes, I learnt that the hard way.
10/10 - I love the art direction and graphics. This is definitely what i would be looking for when searching for a casual game.
