Fun idle game!
Cool mix of idle mechanics with mining!
It froze after a while and I got a bit lost, but it’s a solid concept to explore.
Congrats on your game!
Thanks for the feedback.
Could you let me know when it froze? I know that if you go onto another tab itch.io stops the game but if it's an issue with the game, I'd like to get it sorted before I continue work on it.
After upgrading everything, I think around level 10.
I yearned for the mines and this filled that yearning. I wish I hadn't bought the gamejam goal though because it reset my mines and I was so excited to buy more.
Neat little incremental game. Could give a bit more visual and audio feedback to make it feel satisfying. Fun though!
Nice idle game, adding some miners (in the game visually) when we add some miners would be a very cool addition.
A nice clicker game with a simple premise. The lack of sound and basic UI components makes this feel quite prototypy, and the grindiness at the start of the game is a bit off-putting. More feedback and game juice would be nice too. Good try and well done for submitting!
Solid game - simple and fun! I played all the way to the end, with maxed-out copper mines and gemstones. Ran into a few small bugs with buying upgrades but nothing game-breaking. Like @Typhoon said, I also really like the idea of getting random gem drops and it could be really fun and satisfying if you had a cool sound/vfx for these drops, or give the player more agency/skill in how often those drops happen. Really great work on your jam entry, and I'm excited to see what you do next!
I do tend to enjoy these types of games, but there is quite a long time of manual clicking between upgrades. Right now I don't feel like I'm making a choice in what to buy next, just clicking the purchase miner button and coal multiplier upgrade. I do like the idea of occasionally finding a gemstone as a random drop, but I quit before I found enough to spend on something. Hope you keep developing!
Love idle games.
My finger hurts. I wished it was a bit faster to get the upgrades so it was easier to experience the whole game.
I may come back at a later stage when i can leave my miners to the work for me and get some gems.
According to the National Mining Association:, "Since 1970, coal production has increased 62 percent while fatal injuries have decreased by 92 percent." (NMA)
Always love a clicker game! Solid fundamentals for a prototype, hope to see you doing something great with it :)
Great idle game =)
Nice little clicker game. I would've loved to see copper mines, but the pace was quite slow and I got reset (buying jam completion). Could use some juice as well but a nice foundation.
Nice simple idle/clicker game. Would have loved some more feedback for clicking and auto mining the buildings :)
