Motherload, Ludum Dare style.

Didn't have much time to work on this, but I wanted to get working on an idea I've had. Part of it is influenced by Motherload, a wonderful Flash game. I had just enough time to eke out some audio to spice things up a bit.

Was there an objective other than mine the green things?

@lightningst Collecting emeralds is all!

It would have been necessary to have a restart option or to warn against going down too quickly, because at the start I went straight down and got stuck ^^ But just for the sounds it's fun

If you yourself voiced this masterpiece, then special respect:D

Quite a simple game, but I see you had a lot of fun with voice lines! Question is - what is the amount when the pocket change stops being a pocket change?

LDJam user 52439 Apr 2025, 18:56

Audio was almost a 5 from me! Gave me a hearty laugh :D

@dzejpi Yes, I had fun with the voice lines! The voice clip selection is random, but I like the idea of making it more intelligent. Fun fact, I got the "Pocket change" line from Monopoly 3. Check it out on this YouTube video.

@daandruff Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D

There is a serious lack of particles. They would liven up the picture. And it often happens that after drilling a hole downwards, the miner does not fall, but gets stuck on the edge of the neighboring tile, you have to move it additionally. In any case, a good little game, good luck in voting!

I have an 404 error when I want to download the game...

BAFTA Best audio design :D
No joking, it's awesome!

Good job!

P.S. I see you are a man of culture as well. They even release super motherload later on Steam, but it is not as fun as the original.
Anyway I agree that it is a very pleasant idea to work on during the jam.

@gbegreg It works, now! Thanks for telling me :pray:
