You are alone in abandoned mine, trying to stay alive.

The idea behind this game is you control a player that is trying to survive in a hostile mine shaft, constantly running out of health, fighting enemies. Player would collect resources and sell it for better equipment.

-- Controls --
Arrow keys / WASD : Move
Left click/hold : Dig

-- Tools --
- IDE: Unity/C#
- Graphic : MS Paint
- Audio : sfxr

Being this my first LD entry + my poor time managment skills, I did not finish the game, though I would like to in the future :)
Thanks for playing :D

Looks cool, but i cant jump, and there are places in which you can get stuck completely

Looks nice, shame there's not much interaction

I like the lighting effects. The music sets the mood nicely. I can't wait to see what you do with this game.

Solid entry ! I really like the visuals (especially the lightning and the character), it reminds me Minecraft :) Great gameplay, you did a really good job !

Not done, regretfully, but it's a very promising start!

Wow. Amazing entry. One of my favourites :D
Too bad you didnt finish it :)

Absolute loved the concept, and would LOVE to play this game with the elements you mentioned you want to add. Loved the use of lighting, was very satisfying to dig down and have a tunnel suddenly appear. Looks reallly nice, and would get an almost perfect rating from me if there was more content. I Really hope you continue to work on it. If you don't I'm going to steal your idea!

Thank you guys. I did not expect such a positive feedback. I am working on a post LD version, that will hopefully deliver promised functionality.
DarkMeatGames30 Apr 2014, 16:23
So I played and rated this a couple days ago, and can't get it out of my head! I really want to make a clone of this, but know that I would be really upset if someone did that to me.

If you ever abandon this idea, or are ok with me making something similar, PLEASE let me know @DarkMeatGames.

Keep up the good work, yo!

Too bad you didn't finish it, you've come up with a great look for it & I'd love to play it again if you ever do go back and finish it.

Its a great start, can't wait until you add more.

Very nice looking game. I would like to play it when you have had a bit more time to develop it.
SlamBlasta30 Apr 2014, 21:03
Great graphics, but I couldn't jump, and fell out of the world on the bottom. Besides the few bugs, it was a great atmosphere. I love the FEZ style world!

Hey congrats on your first LD!

You did a good job setting up the fundation of a game here. I like the 2d/3d art

I liked the rotation of the game, It will be nice to have a post-compo version.
MattV2 May 2014, 00:39
the game FEELS really good to where I was actually disappointed to not be able to keep playing! Definitely keep working on it!
jsspiegel3 May 2014, 23:20
Really like the concept, I think it would make a great finished game, and even what you have is really good!

It looks really pretty. and the controls are precise too. i could not figure out how to jump (if even possible). The camera movement is neat and adds to the mood of diggin a giant piece of land.

This looks gorgeous! I dug all the way down the first time and fell before realizing you have a FEZ-like turny thing going on. I hope you decide to finish this, it looks like it could end up being an awesome game :) If you put up a website or twitter or something I'd subscribe to see if you update it!

Love the mechanics of 2D walking plus 3D rotation!

Any chance of a Linux port?

Nice wrap-around-the-corner feature and visuals style overall. Post-compo version also looks more fun, too bad you didn't have time to make it during the jam.

Sad that you were not able to finish this in time :( After playing the post-compo version - you should continue working on it!
elmoGames9 May 2014, 16:19
Pretty good, still not a game, but I liked what is there so far.

It's missing quite a bit, but like others have said - it's a great start. I like the lighting and the world rotation the best.

Nice art style and mood. I like the Fez and Minecraft blend. After digging a while (post compo version) I didn't find much and died due to low health.
