simple and sweet! I just kept burning out my engine lol, i dont know if i have to wait longer or something but a way to make the engine alive again would be nice. Upgrades r cool 2!

Submitted

The theme with the spinning idea is very nice, i like the style of the game and the upgrades! Nice work!

Submitted

Pretty fun game. Played until I reached the max distance. Fun song, fun mechanic, good upgrades. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for playing! Now I just need to come up with some reward for when you get to the end jajaja

Had a good time, however I feel like there should have been more polishing/QOL assessment. For example I couldn't close the UI because I couldn't purchase anything. I really liked the music!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! You can close the workbench UI with ESC, but I forgot that that also gets you out of the game in the browser.

I had a really good time, could use some UI polishing and maybe a little more info about what's going on like a bar to show how far back/charged the drill is.  Loved it

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I didn't add visual feedback on the drill charge because the point is charging it without breaking it. Thank you!

great little game! VERY IMPORTANT EVERYBODY YOU NEED TO USE THE QUICK TIME EVENTS TO BEAT THE GAME or to advance into other areas! i hope you continue this after the game jam and fill in that starting area with maybe other mining stuff that can help you :) hope you get high ratings!

Developer

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Yes, the QTE is very important. Thanks for taking the time to understand it!

Submitted

I do agree that the controls are a little confusing, but a really loved the art style and the workbench!

Developer

Thank you!

pretty good game, I struggled a bit with the mining, but it seemed interesting! can you please check out mine? https://no-boxes.itch.io/rigged-dart

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I also played yours

Submitted

thanks so much! what did you think?

Developer

I think is a good concept, right now is a little rough around the edges, but if you keep working on it, you could get a really good puzzle game, has potential thats for sure.

This game made me want to drill oil in the north sea.

Developer

JAJAJA thanks for trying it!

Submitted

I cant say i 100% understand what was going on but it was beautiful i really appreciated the little player sprite

Developer

Maybe I should make a tutorial or something. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Like others the controls had me at first but once I had got my head round it I found it easy and very fun such a good, creative game.

Developer

Thank you for trying it!

Submitted

The controls are a little confusing, but a nice little game overall!

Developer

Thank you!

I'm glad I spent a little time with this because there was a lot I didn't pick up on right away.

I have to click behind the drill to charge. I'm supposed to go back and do the upgrades after I run out of launches (At first I thought it was a game over state). I thought the QTE cue sounded like an item pickup or something so I missed it completely at first.

Eventually I made it to the second material layer a few times and did some upgrades. Didn't finish though.

Developer

Thank you very much! I was thinking I made too hard to understand! Thanks for the feedback!
