that was actually really fun xD + im biased for games with a mining mechanic ehm, the music was actually really fitting to the vibe and artstyle imo so good job on that! (won't reiterate the loudness thing since youve already responded to that and i just lowered my volume and life was good lol)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for sharing your score. The highest score that’s been shared with me so far is 133. Good feedback still regarding the volume, it will help remind me to verify those audio settings with as much attention as some of the visual work done.
gotta beat that now >:)
whoa congrats on the high score!
I like it!! I may have had a heart attack when it first loaded as the music was a bit loud, but I Iove the vibe, the textures are really cute
Thank you! I am now realizing that I never actually played it after submitting to see how the audio compares in browser versus in the dev software studio. Audio/music is definitely something I need to work on in general, as I typically don’t spend as much time on it as I do the visuals, and any time spent mixing/ensuring audio levels are manageable would go a long way.
It's a good game idea and you should really keep working on it in my opinion.
I like the graphics but the game lacks more gameplay elements. And the music feels repetitive.
Thank you! There are definitely some other game elements I would add if I worked more on this, such as mine cart movement, more ways to obtain gold (sifting in water, dynamite?), more animations for rocks breaking, etc. For the game jam I wanted to keep it simple in scope to ensure I could finish it in time.
The music was the last aspect that I worked on, so I could definitely see how enhancements could be made. I just looped 12 measures of a basic blues pattern that I played on a small electric keyboard so that I would have something playing in the background. I was going for the old timey player piano vibe but I don’t think that really came across, but it would be fun to fine tune that!
