Goal of game: The goal of this game is to collect as many minerals by digging. There are five days of operation and for each operation you only get one minute to collect as much resources as possible. Each day there are operational costs and you must maintain profitability or the game will be over and the 'Deep Sea Mining Company' will be forced to cease operations.
Keyboard input and joypad inputs are supported.
Keyboard usage: W or Up-Arrow = Move up A or Left-Arrow = Move left D or Right-Arrow = Move Right S or Down-Arrow = Move Down F4 quits the game.
Joypad usage: Axis stick for movement Any button can be used when asked to hit the keyboard 'Enter' key.
Fun! I actually felt very relaxed while playing (even though there's a timer!) It would be great with some sounds and music. Drifting around mining the sea floor is an experience I never thought I'd enjoy, but I did!
The art was really cool. Definitely the best part. This was a great start to a really cool game!
The only thing it needs now is to be a bit more dynamic, or maybe more than one way to win? The art is seriously great and the foundation is super solid :)
If you hit the missing MSVCP110.dll error you can fix it by downloading the VC++ redistributable package from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679. I should have included the DLL with the package itself, sorry!
This was fun. Nice and simple but i soon learned you need to go for the more valuable metals. The different ways you can drill (one big hole, a long shallow hole etc) also adds a bit more strategy. Very good effort!
Decent graphics. Wish there was some kind of reward for the tedious gameplay, like drill upgrades. Also, maybe you should restrict X/Y movement separately, that way you can slide along a surface even if you're pressing down/right at the same time, et.c.
Certainly seems to payoff better if you drill with a singular focus, rather than dredging the seabed, haha! Loved the graphics! A nice concept that was well executed, just need some sound and marine life to fill out the space.
Cool graphics style, and cool game mechanics. It was fun when the time run out and you saw some more minerals down below, and you were thinking "MINE FASTER!! MINE!" Gets a little bit repetetive after a while.
