Delay the inevitable corruption to get enough resources to escape from the caverns. Sacrifice your tools to an energy converter to get energy to power beacons, the only way to prevent the spread of corruption.
If you're confused on how the game works, here are a few quick things to help out:
- Place objects by right click on empty ground while having that item selected in your inventory - Put things into the furnace or energy converter by dragging and dropping the item from your inventory into the slot above the furnace or energy converter - The energy converter only accepts tools (shields, swords, & drills) - Furnaces only smelt ore - Put shields into your shield slot - Beacons only affect a certain radius around themselves - Fight enemies by clicking on them when they're nearby
Post-Submission Bugfixes: - Corruption was spreading faster than expected, spread tick has been adjusted - Enemy projectile was scaled incorrectly, now fixed
Nice looking game! Not sure if buggy or just me who doesn't understand the controls, but ran in to a couple of cases were I would pick items (e.g. the torch at the start), and wouldn't be able to place them down again.
Cool crafting game! Took me a bit to figure out the controls but ended up working it out, mainly placing objects didn't click initially. Nice tutorial at the start though, would be cool to stop the timers ticking down while the tutorial screens are up but not allow the player to progress yet. Loved the music and atmosphere you created too! Great entry :)
Pretty cool game, although either I don't understand how to play or the difficulty is quite high. I'm building stuff, but there doesn't seem to be enough ore to progress very far in the tech tree even before factoring in sacrifices...
Really crazy this was made in such a short time, nice job with the crafting and mining, I was unable to progress through the whole crafting tree, I'm interested to see what would happen
this game has so much potential given it's current complexity and nuance involved in the crafting. really good baseline for a survival, crafting, gathering and exploration game
The controls seem kind of broken for me? I can’t progress very far because it won’t seem to let me place any items. Right clicking an empty space doesn’t do anything and left clicking just mines the nearest block. It SEEMS like there’s some interesting depth here but unfortunately I can’t seem to access it.
@evan-minto There can be a few reasons for that. You can't place or mine when your inventory is open, left click is supposed to mine the nearest block, and right clicking only works if you're holding something and there is no block or entity there (including the player). Also make sure you're not trying to drag and drop as a lot of people assumed that's how things are placed. We'll hopefully have something a bit clearer and more intuitive in a post jam version. Hopefully that clears it up!

I couldn't figure out how to get the next kind of metal. Is it possible?
Nice art and relaxing music. Well done!
