Instructions

read those! =D

You are a relentless miner, your goal is to break many valuable ores, and keep going deeper and deeper into the mine.
Don't forget to go back to the elevator in time!

Controls

• WASD or ZQSD or Arrows to move
• Space or K to jump
• L to break blocks
• M to take/place blocks

You can break or grab the blocks above and under you by moving in those directions.

Scoring

• Small gold ore = 1pt
• Big gold ore = 5pts
• Going one level deeper = 10pts for each level deep!
• Consecutively breaking red ore start at 1pt and combo up. Hitting any other block breaks the combo. Same goes for the blue ore. Blue ore and red ore aren't compatible, they will break each other combo!
  

Tips

Blocks you place on the elevator goes to the next level with you, you can use this to hoard blocs then score huge red or blue combos.

Don't mine too fast, there may be some leftover TNTs down there!

The deeper you go, the more vengeful ghosts of previous miners will come back to haunt you, be careful!

With enough skill, you can jump then quickly grab the block beneath yourself and place it higher to fly… kinda #itsNotABugItsAFeature

Post-feedbacks tip

The game was made so that you had the ability to choose how you wanted to play, greedily or not. In fact, it appears the game design is more balanced with a "riskly hoarding ores on the elevator and cashout big combos later" mindset. You'll enjoy it more if you play that way =) Good luck and have fun, remember, dying frequently is expected, it's how you get better!

Infos

Game made entirely in 48h for the compo. Tools used : Clickteam Fusion and its broken HTML5 exporter, Aseprite, Beepbox, ChipTone, Audacity, a bit of PHP/SQL for the online part, and a lot of love <3

Thanks for playing!

TL;DR:

• Controls are WASD+K+L+M
• Break or grab blocs by moving into their direction
• Blue ore score combo when you break many. Any other bloc broken interrupt the combo
• Same goes for red ore, but gold ore don't combo
• Blocs you place on the elevator stay with you to the next level (for you to make big combos later)
• If the elevator leaves without you, you're stuck, no escape but death
