This has to be influenced by Motherload

Interesting Motherload inspired game

Motherload was indeed our initial inspiration. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to include upgrades but are very proud of the multiplayer component. Thanks for your comments!

I'd love to play, but I don't have Windows, sorry!

This was a bit too much motherload and I think you could probably have played around with the concept a bit more. Some of the graphics didn't quite fit and the music was a bit repetitive. However, the art for the tiles was very well detailed and I'm very impressed by the multi-player aspect of the game (even though I never got to see it in action).

I think ideally try not to focus too much on multi-player since ludum dare gamesare meant to be short quick game you can play by yourself

Thanks for the comments guys.

davidwparker, I'm uploading Linux and Mac versions very soon, check back later!

DazKins, appreciate the feedback. Both of us on the team really wanted a multiplayer game just because it is cool! However it is still functional and somewhat fun playing singly. Let me know if you want someone else to play with online and I'll hop on!

took me a while to realise i needed to wait a bit for the blocks to mine - some kind of audio cue for digging would have worked well here!

unfortunately didn't get to experience the multiplayer aspect

It seems to crash when touching the right edge of the map one tile below the "surface level". Too bad I had to play by myself, really nice to see someone undertake such a project though! Some visual/audio indicator of the drilling would've been nice.

Cool idea but it seemed to have a poor connection. Gotta have respect for the cool idea and ambition though!
