I really love the color palette here. Only feedback I have is I think it woulda been nice if there were some additional upgrades, you upgrade the shovel right away and then there's no use for all the gold you keep collecting. Overall, this was short and sweet. Good job!
Thanks for playing my little game
:DSimple but charming game, congrats on using your own engine! I probably couldn't ever do that
I love the simple gameplay! Though i think the controlling of the mining with arrows like THIS is not good and should be changed. Love the graphics (i'd smash the main character tbh). Great stuff!
Thanks for playing! I’ll keep the feedback on the mining controls in mind
and I’m glad you like Zarek as much as I do ahahah
I love the main character! I never knew how much I wanted to play as a gold slime before today.
Thanks for playing
:DCute game! Small bit of feedback: The sounds I think could use some volume balancing, because the collect noises were very loud compared to other sounds.
Thanks for playing my little game
:DGood catch about SFX balancing, I’ll keep that in mind for my future games
Cool art, I like the palette choice. The aiming took a little getting used to.
Thanks for playing my little game
:DDigging around felt super smooth and satisfying. Really easy to lose track of time with this one.
MC is adorable, and the title screen art looks great. Also really cool that you built the whole thing on your own engine! I will be checking it out on github.
Thanks for playing my little game
:Dand I’m glad you’re interested in checking out the engine too!
Animation and movement are really good!
I would have loved some different levels because if you clean the area left to right and then go down, repeat the process, jump feels kinda useless.
If you implement some platforming level design this could be a more fun game!
And also a little music loop could help :)
Btw, good job! Digging was really entertaining!
Thanks for playing my game
:DYou’re right about the digging mostly being left to right, then going down and then it repeats ahahah
I wish I could learn how to compose music someday, but thanks for your input
:DThe movement feels smooth and the whole digging loop is simple and satisfying. The character design is cute and the sound effects make the actions feel good. The progression is quick but the charm carries it. (pls play my game)
Thanks for playing my game
:DSure, I’ll check out your game too!
I really liked the movement controls, and I love the character design on the title screen it looks great :D My only complaint is that it was quite easy to fully upgrade the shovel. I think that with some balance adjustments, the progression would feel more satisfying. very impresive that you used your own engine
She's very cute. The sound effects are also really satisfying!
However, I didn't find it very fun to actually play. The aiming ray is a little slow to aim, and once my shovel was upgraded there was no incentive to grab more gold (I would just naturally grab the necessary amount on my way to the relics). Nice work on programming this!
Simple and satisfying little game, super cool that it was all done on your own game engine!
Neat Game! Using your own game engine is really impressive!
I love the games with these types of color palette, very creative way to get around the limitation of omnidirectional digging, good job!
simple and satisfying to play. most fun i had with any of the submissions
love it, short and simple, but would want more of title screen girl in the game, not just mini version of that character
