Very cool idea! I will be playing this for the next few days

Very satysfying, almost reached the finish. Only thing I’m missing is some fast forward button so that’s it’s easier to get to the later parts without having to wait very long. Still, I spent a lot of time with this entry!

The greatest game so far I played. The only thing, it took me a while to discover that there is an upgrade that turns coal into fuel. Until then I wasn't really getting far.

I played it for a lot longer than i had initially planned too! Nice work!

The pacing felt a little off for a game jam, perhaps? I never felt like i got very far into the mine, just kinda kept running out of fuel pretty early on. Would have loved to have seen more of the biomes and ore that was being teased to me by that neat little map at the top.

Some balancing aside, (which i think is personally really hard to get perfect in a jam anyway) This is a very well presented, feature filled game. Was a lot of fun to mess around with, thanks!

I think I just drilled for an hour straight...

Really impressed with this game, basically feels like a complete releasable game already!   Played it for over 30 minutes when I probably should've been rating some other games haha.

similar for me, though I just didn't have much time, maybe like 10 min and would have played at least 30 min otherwise

This was the closets I could get to the end. One of them games I have enjoyed the most this jam.

This was amazing! What an addictive, fun game! before I knew it, an hour and a half was gone. I think there’s a bug with the fuel tanks, I’m not sure they do anything. I was able to get to the end with 3 big drills, a magnet, and a dream:

Amazing work! Well done!

Well made! cool building/design mechanic and skilltree.
In my first run I didn`t notice that I had to activly catch/pickup the items.

I rarely spend more than 10 minutes on a game jam game, but this one was an exception! Good hour digging tunnels, trying to reach the end :P There was a great opportunity to put some kind of ending for reaching the end!

This takes me back to getting on CoolMathGames in high school, grade A game!

although I found it a bit out there in terms of the theme, this was insanely fun to play and highly addictive! congrats

Submitted(+1)

Spent almost a whole day playing this while sometimes doing other things letting it play in the background... Way too much fun making different contraptions to maximize mining capacity, distance, and battery! And managing each part mid-mission to change it's function or save on battery is such a fun idea!

Amazing game!! I also spent well over an hour with this, very enjoyable. Really like the building system, the graphics, and the sound effects while digging are veeery satisfying. Got so close to the end, but that last magma rock is strong as hell. I'll definitely come back for another run though! Fantastic job!

Edit: And I've only now found out how the pistons work, which adds a whole other layer to the building. Excellent!

extremely well done especially considering the team size

Submitted(+1)

Disgustingly addictive. Spent way too long playing this! Amazing work mate, congrats on the win!

I think we should just end the jam now and announce this as the winner, it is fantastic.

Would you be interested in teaming up for a jam one day?  ;)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! maybe we can team up!!

Aight, add me on discord: @jackvanderkolk ^.^

Very satisfying and extremely well done! I do think the balance needs to be adjusted a bit since you can max out items long before you're even half way through but it's still pretty good for being done in such a short time!

It took a while a ton of clicking but I very nearly hit the end

Submitted(+1)

I totally forgot that time passed. Really great game! High potential if you work on it. I had fun in those minutes (or hour) that passed! :D

Good job!

This is what I achieved with some pistons and a dream! This is probably the coolest glitch I have ever seen in any game jam. I believe that the biggest achievement for a game developer is to have someone break your game in such a controlled way that it seems intended. And it's always a sight to behold!
