You Know The Drill

Great game. I want more of it

game is good it was a bit weird that you sometimes had to turn off crystals so you can farm money

Норм!

I would maybe recommend this game, but only just barely and on a much higher sale/for a lower cost than it is now. If I had not gotten it for sale, and in a bundle, I would be massively disappointed. As it stands, I am just regularly disappointed. This is just not good value for money. I understand this is their first game, but the cost should reflect that and the amount of time you can get out of this game. $5.99 CAD is just too much for what is in here. For a comparison, Mining Mechs was also that developers first game, and I got 40+ hours out of it, 10x the amount of time, for a lower cost. There are only nine different types of ore that give you money, and four different main upgrades with their own crystal resource to mine. But those four main upgrades go by and are done so quickly, you barely get any enjoyment out of them. On the other hand, the main campaign slows you down by making it so that you heavily rely on mining damage to move into any new area, which is also slowed down by the fact that you need a certain number of upgrades to unlock those areas. Without the increased money gain from the new ores in those areas, you slow to a crawl. So you have too little focus on the upgrades that make the game fun, and too much emphasis on the parts that are boring and slow things down. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed the game. But what I am trying to say is that your play time isn't really going through tons of different upgrades, tons of different weapons, areas, ores, etc. Your time is just grinding and buying the same upgrades again but with 10x the price cost. The skill tree looks large at first, until you realize it is 6 inventory space upgrades, 9 attack damage upgrades, 7 ore price increase upgrades, etc. it becomes very, very small. The core gameplay loop is a lot of fun, the atmosphere is nice, and the pixel graphics of the game are cute. However, there is just not enough here for this to be called a full game. This is a demo that has been just stretched out, and the price should reflect that. If this game does look interesting to you, I would recommend you wait for the price to drop, and then get it on a larger sale. There is just not enough bang for your buck here.
