Help humanity extract value from the void. Equipped with nothing but your trusty mining laser, dig, sell, upgrade, and try to cover intergalactic taxes. There might even be a secret or two scattered around.

Controls:


WASD - Move

Space - Jump

Left Click - Dig

F - Interact

Known Issues:

- Having 0 credits after paying taxes still counts as a lose condition. Make sure to have at least one extra credit in your account after collection.
- If you pick up more than 3 relics, the UI will still show 3/4 relics. You can still return to the ship once you are sure you collected 4 or more to get a win condition.
- Straying too far from the ship may result in some unexpected outcomes

We have uploaded a post-jam version with fixes to these issues



Enjoy!

Really nicely done, it's very polished and feels exactly right for the jam. I found collisions/meshing be inconsistent sometimes, was quite hard to completely clear the dig sometimes so I can progress lower, but I've completed the game on the second pass when I've realized that most interesting stuff is hidden deep below the surface. I loved your sound indication for proximity of the goal cylinders and overall it feels like a very solid entry. Great job!
