I like the concept, it seems to be pretty captivating, judging by tutorial! Sadly, I couldn't get past the Upgrade button. It could be because of performance issues, as game lagged pretty hard. But other than that, I liked the game, good job!

This game is so cool! Incremental gameplay like this has been one of my favorite genres over the past few months, so I honestly didn’t expect to find something this enjoyable in a solo game jam. Thanks for making it!

If I had one suggestion, I’d personally love it even more if progressing to the next ore tier felt more gradual—instead of all ores upgrading at once, having only part of them evolve first would create a stronger sense of progression.

The core concept absolutely deserves to become a full game. Looking forward to it!

"Mini Miner is a satisfying, minimalist, incremental game about drilling."

Well I have to say...

Haha you sucked me in so quickly. Upgrades felt meaningful and the sound effects were superb. Good finds! As others have said, performance isn't great. Probably some shader stuff if I had to guess, which looks real neat! Makes the very clean vector art stand out even more, though the fact the shaded area on the ores represented the health wasn't clear to me at first, so it lead to the tutorial and first few minutes feeling a little awkward. Seriously though, once you get an incremental like this going you've got it going, and you know that. :)

Super impressive stuff. Good work and keep jamming!

Can't believe this kept me busy for 35 minutes. Quite addictive!

Forget drilling rocks. I'm drilling my GPU. Jokes aside. It an a very addictive incremental game. I just wish the blast radius of the TNT is bigger when I first bought it but man is it satisfying when them gold rocks line up for me to drill into. Very polished, veyr satisfying, worthy game!

*The moment I boot up the game*

i love

ran pretty heavy on arc so had to switch to chrome, but totally worth it. chef's kiss. great game

Love this game.  The progression is very addicting. If I had to nickpick some of the upgrades feel like setbacks at first, like shrinking the ores, and speed of the drill. Technically though these fit the theme, but gameplay wise it's not very rewarding. Another nitpick is the coils at first aren't very good compared to the TNT. That is fine but I think the beginning tesla coil unlocks are too expensive for how much they suck compared to one TNT. But really great game. I got sucked in and finished it in a half hour. 

PS I appreciate the details like moving the camera around a bit with drill movement, that kind of polish is why having a small scope like this for gamejams is so important. 

The core game loop is very addictive and we feel the progression. everything is very polished, had a great time ! This would make a great phone game. sfx and visual fx are soo juicy good job ! upgrades’ ui is peak

Looks like on of the best submissions. Extremely addictive

This is a good, calming game, similar to A Game About Digging a Hole, but:

• You might want to work on the game's visuals. At the very least, you should add some visible differences when the player reaches new upgrade levels. It's good that Giga and Mega increase the size of the drill, and that's visually noticeable, but the upgrade process itself isn't always visible
• On the last level, after buying all upgrades, there were some small FPS drops, both in the browser version and on PC. This is especially noticeable when Tesla Coins are active
• Also consider a version with progression downward (if you plan to develop this idea further and add some kind of ultimate goal). I recommend adding layers of earth that visually take you deeper and deeper. Finding various items along the way down would also be welcome

I love how polished the game is, and the audio and graphics are great, but I had a few issues. 

I got bored pretty quickly (because of the lack of stakes, but that's probably because I'm not a big incremental game fan), I feel like the theme was only implemented in the tutorial and there was also so much lag. Optimizing isn't easy during a jam, but I think it's important to think about how well the web build of the finished game would run when choosing the idea, especially since I think without the lag the game would feel even more polished.

But even with these issues, out of the games I've played so far in this jam, this is probably one of the best.

Loved this game, could see myself playing for hours if this game expands.

Wouldn't let me post a comment earlier. But I really enjoyed your game. The sound and effects were super satisfying. Once I got the tesla fully upgraded I was getting maximum dopamine. Good job!

Ultra satisfying game; from the simple but beautiful graphics, to the color palette, the upgrades, the balance, everything is astonishingly amazing.

The only thing, if I have to say any, is that the theme of the jam could've been "implemented" further by adding some kind of cost or tax to entering the mining area, or adding some kind of "fuel" instead of a time limit, which would've added a bit more strategy.

Nevertheless, I loved it! Good job!

Gaddayum, the polish is insane, played through the whole thing, amazing job all across the board!

I really enjoyed this game, very satisfying to play, so far one of the best games I played in this Jam. I played all the way the completion. Really well done bro. <3

I played for 35 Minutes straight. Well thought out upgrades and seemed like and upgrade was always around the corner. Huge fan!
