How does the game fit the theme?
The game embraces the theme by rewarding players who take risky actions. Those who dare to push their luck can reap greater rewards - and if they're quick enough, they might even earn... a biscuit.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Own Tools / Template Project (ObjectPools, Primitives, Primitive GameManager, FMOD-Tools, Editor Extentions, GameEvent System, GUI System, Singleton-System) - no game logic related to the game idea included.

Game is very good and fun! Atmosphere is very cool. I liked flying spaceship and digging ore with laser. It would be also good if you added more upgrades, because I as full upgraded on 3rd comet.
The game is dope! Loved the whole concept and the style fits it greatly, my only advice would be to add a feedback on the blocks breaking and some visals on screen like a red beeping light showing when the power is too low as I often found my self not realizing I was running out of power, other than that well done!
Oh damn the amount of polish in this is insane!, very cool game! not really much that i can say besides that, Great job to you and your team!
Excellent work, got me hooked very quickly - and I kept pushing my luck a bit too far!
Damn, this slaps hard. Amazing job, team. Really enjoyed how you had some extra time after losing power. Great loop! Great Art!

Thanks for the stream! It was a pleasure to watch! :)
Interesting game a bit to hard for my liking though.
This was a cool game, great game loop and great theme. I think the only two constructive feedback i can give is that it was sometimes laggy for me in the browser. And it wasn't clear to me which ores yielded more gold.
Overall solid game
The game is amazing, love the feeling when i play it and it’s super addictive! Honestly i don’t have many critiques with it
Thank you! :) Glad u had fun!
This was super fun! I leave detailed feedback on all games I play so don't mind this wall of text haha :)
My feedback in order as I played:
That said, overall this was really great to play and reminded me alot of Domekeeper, and really makes me want to risk getting more nuggets vs retreating back to base to recharge.
Thanks for that HUGE feedback, really appreciate the time you took to write all this down! Helps us a ton, especially as a young studio just sorting things out^^
You’ve made some really good points, we’ll definitely take the time to evaluate them carefully and fold them into a potential Steam demo.
If you’d like to take part in testing for a possible Demo release, I’d love to invite you to our Discord! :)) (The ingame button sadly doesn’t work atm...^^) → https://discord.gg/fRUJ9mMg

Awesome to hear you're looking to make it into a Steam demo! Just followed you as I'm sure it will be a very exciting journey.
And also heck yeah! Just joined your discord too ^_^
Very addictive game! I really like the visuals and audio.
Thanks you!! :))

This does work really well with the theme, found myself justt about making it back to base before the cooldown ended, very risky, tons of fun. keep it up!
Thanks a lot!

This is a really solid game you all should be really proud of the work you did! Honestly a really fun game loop that is addicting and just the right amount of challenge and urgency. The gameplay loop really fits in to the theme well of taking the risk for benefits which will eventually determine your success in the subsequent comets. Love the visuals and vfx. Like many others have said, it took me a long while to finally figure out what the goal is and how to start optimizing my runs. I think most of the issues are UI based and can easily be resolved:
- unclear that you can go to the next comet via paying 5 ores. took me few runs to figure this out
- I thought the battery upgrade did nothing since the battery bar always just had red/yellow. At first I thought the yellow was the max capacity I had and the battery upgrade would slowly increase that. So I think either have what you currently have and have battery upgrade increase the colored portion of the battery or dont have any color and just flash red when its getting low. (the empty space to me feels like its not applicable)
- Make it clear that you have to balance getting ores, balancing the time for the current comet, and optimizing the upgrades.
I think once these are addressed, it is a really solid and addictive game. Reminds me of the original mining games that I played for hours. Congrats on the submission and the great game!
ps. love the portal reference :D

Finished the game, really enjoyed it. Didn't really understand it at first but then I played some more and was instantly hooked. Needs more upgrades to the laser so I can be even greedier. I NEED MORE MINERALS, MORE PYLONS, MORE VESPENE GAS
Thank you so much! Super happy you had fun!
We’re definitely planning to add more stuff to the game, no worries :))

I really like this type of games, feels like a tiny version of dome keeper!
Game loop is engaging as hell so maybe the real improvements could be done on the UI that is not super clear
I figured out after a couple of runs that the gems were als for the departure...
Nhaaww :) I love Dome, so thanks for the compliment :D
Thanks for the Feedback. We definitly share your thoughts & will consider this in an future update. :)
Thx for playing!
~Phil
Feels really polished, nice work :)
You've managed to make something really fun in this week. I haven't made it past the 3rd phase of the game yet, but will come back for more. Great job!
Thanks for the support!
