I really like this game
The main picture art made me instantly want to try the game
My first impressions was a bit down as I felt a bit lost, when i went into the first "planet" I went up, left, right and basically everywhere but straight down 😂
Can be argued it's my fault but I almost gave up before trying to go directly down
after that I found it very fun, I played for quite a while as well. I think it would be nice to keep track of objects you found and objects that are missing
And I kept trying to mouse click to shoot which I felt was more natural of a choice.,
I really like the music choice and the art style of the game.
This was a really good submission, good job!
collected items get tracked by the small icons below the resource list, but theres no "missing item list" yet.
We are working on a post-jam remaster that will add a lot of qol improvements, I will put the "missing items" on the list
Very cute game! I expected the mining to be a mouse click so it took a while to realise it was space bar haha.
I think this is the game i've played the most in this jam, everything was really well made, great job!
This game is so cool! I loved the theme!! Good job :)
Очень даже прикольная игрушка, такой забавный гринд майнинг в космосе, было бы здорово если ты поиграл бы в нашу игру
The pacing is solid, and the music builds on that pacing very well! It’s easy to just zone and gather resources. Overall, I liked this game a lot!
the caveats of having too high resolution on my dev system....
since that seems to have cut off the upgrade screen (access), its pretty game breaking.
Pushed a fix
I enjoyed mining and the pixel art and music is really nice! Unfortunately I think my monitor is a bit smaller than yours because even in full screen I couldn't see the whole game and couldn't get to upgrades or see much of the UI.
welp, the joys of developing in WQHD. Sorry for your trouble!
should be fixed now, that was accidentally very gamebreaking
I got a little lost after entering the asteroid for the first time before realizing I had to head down. The UI is so fucking cute though and really enjoyed the vibe.
Cool game! I got lost at the begining but then understood how to cat in this space >o<
yeah we ran out of time to properly explain how to cat in space
Really, really great game, love the different planet concepts and inhabitants as well as the mining experience!
My favorite game I've played yet. It looks good, the UI works really well and mining is super satisfying.Good job :)
Hands down my favorite game in this jam and that I played on Itch. I would buy this tomorrow. So many nice details and good things, i love how seamless it is, there are small improvements i could make, maybe have a shop where i could exchange the blue resources which have great yield to the others. It's a bit frustrating that i don't know how many items i need to pick and it's a hassle to travel to radio everytime, i would add on each planet to show how many items are left and maybe a percentage of hoe much of the planet i farmed, otherwise i feel like i'm in a blind and i'm not sure how much of the planet is left. But this is feedback for advanced features, I hope you get to publish this because it's really good and addictive, I think I played it for an hour straight. Really really good job guys!
Thank you so much!! After the fixing period of the jam we currently want to polish the game some more - so there may be a post-jam version soon™
Great game! I think it could really shine if you added narration in the future to help explain what’s happening. It gave me some unique vibes, a bit similar to Starbound. Good job!
Very cool game, the art is very cute :)
I would recommend to lower the update cost in the beginning, so that after the player was the first time on the planet he can buy a upgrade to get him hooked.
Also I just updated the laser to farm more materials, while playing I did not feel the need to upgrade the ship or speed.
Really great work :)
Really loved the visuals on this! I think the game being fullscreen made it hard to see all the UI so it was difficult to figure out how much currency I had while I was mining. Especially loved the parallax stars!
I entered what I think was the first world, but it seemed completely empty? I’m almost certain this is user-error so I don’t want to rate it off of that. I’ll rate it if someone could give me some direction on what to do…
Fly downwards :)
(In hindsight we should have added an arrow or something, so it's our bad really.)
Its all good, I had some problems with intuitiveness in my game as well.
Actually I figured it out, I didn’t realize I had to go down. Cool Game!
The visuals looked really great! I enjoyed the movement, it felt satisfying even just flying around. Cats in space is a great combo.
Great art style! The gameplay hits the same kind of nerve that mining in terraria gives you, upgrades actually feel powerful, something a lot of incremental games struggle with. Nice work!
Yes! Though the Shroomite Digging Claw reigns supreme on the spreadsheets, the Drill Containment Unit is my personal favorite :D
Really good bones of a solid game here. Movement feels solid, different modes are interesting. Watch out with the pacing, perhaps make a block thats super easy to mine with the starting laser early on -- It can take a little too long to get to the meat of the game as it currently stands. But yeah, solid entry.
