So I ended up playing this for like 2 hours, oops! Mostly out of determination to get the retirement fund done, but also because it was fun! I do want to address a couple of issues I had while playing:
- It happened a couple times where I had a ton of ore of one type, and then when the reset timer ended that ore didn't show up again, forcing me to wait another 7 minutes before I could sell it. The Reset Seller didn't seem to work either so this was quite annoying at times.
- There were some major frame drops when your pocket started to become full, sometimes it becoming so laggy the pocket glitched out and removed half off my collected stones. One time it even dropped almost everything right when I was about to sell everything.
- While this type of game is definitely meant to be more cozy and easygoing, the pacing felt a bit slow. Having to wait for the timer to get the right ore or having to climb all the way back up when you're really deep were things that were quite time consuming.
That out of the way, I also want to give you praise because this is quite impressive to have done in 72 hours. The pocket mechanic is really innovative and the overall gameplay loop is really fun with a nice background tune. The variety of upgrades were also nice.
You got yourself a really solid entry so well done! If you were to fix those issues, you'd have a lot of potential with this game!
