How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
It's a mining game where the galleries you create are unstable and keep feeling up, forcing you to plan your returns to not get stuck

I might've thrown a bunch of my upgrades away, lol. I escaped, but it took me 1 hour and 23 minutes! I've never played a jam game so long. I loved every second of it. GREAT job.
Really cool, took so long but it's a good incremental game for sure, loved the concept!
Yayyy I escaped the shimmer!!!! : D After all my hardwork I was hoping for a more grand ending but I had such a blast with the game it didn't matter.
Into the shimmer hooked me for 30 mins, it's an easy 5/5.
Kudos!
My goodness this game is fun. My run was 25 minutes and I loved every second of it. Upgrading, blasting the Shimmer and the enemies was extremely satisfying. The sound track had me in the zone too. That red Shimmer is no joke! Awesome game, you did a really good job!
This was a lot of fun! I loved it. Great job and thank you for making and sharing it with us. :D
Very well made had a blast playing.
This is so addictive it actively hinders your competitors because they play it instead of making their game.
I always love a good incremental game :) I like the simplicity of it, it is really easy to pick up. One small thing: the rewards felt a little but underwhelming. Great work!
Really nice incremental game! The progression feels satisfying and it gets addictive pretty quickly. Especially on the pling sound on unlocking another upgrade. As another commenter mentioned, it’s a bit of a shame that killing enemies doesn’t really reward you, since that makes mining feel like the better option most of the time. Fun entry with a solid gameplay loop!
That's a nice incremental! Gameloop feels nice, good pacing and progression
Please make the UI bigger next time, it is really hard to see. Also, I feel like enemies aren't that rewarding to kill, so I was sticking to just 'mining'
Good experience other than that!
Damn you! This game is hella addictive.. I just wanna break out and I really like that there's power ups to help. It took me a little while to realise I had the rocket but that made it feel more possible to escape.. It's A LOT of fun to play. I like the incremental feeling. The skill tree is awesome too. Well done. This is great. Your team nailed it for sure. I want more from the music but that's because I'm biased. I do like the sound FX though. I'm super impressed with the overall game.
