I don't know why, but there is nothing more satisfying to me than games about mining. It's just such a simple but fun concept. I love gathering a whole bunch of random resources that I can use to gather even more resources even faster whilst digging deeper than feasibly possible.

The magma firing rocks can be mined if you get the miners to prioritise the rock in the direction you want them to mine it from, then you prioritise the magma firing rock and cancel the other rock they were mining. You also get hitpoint regen in their upgrade tree, you have to scroll down when accessing the tree to see it. You also get a vision upgrade for how far your little people can see, so they can see two layers of rocks, seeing potential magma rocks, or creature spawners, or minerals early too. Also, the magma rocks destroy the rocks in front of their jet, so you will be aware of where they are anyway. Meta progress allows you to get your guards firing up at the flying creatures.

I think a benefit of adding some of those 'base features' behind an upgrade would be to make the game less overwhelming at first and to kind of keep your first run as a tutorial. HOWEVER it doesn't seem like you can even unlock those for your second run because you need to level up or something, which I think is a mistake, because otherwise you would have had enough currency to unlock all three of them. Very interesting game though!

I actually downloaded this demo the other day. It's funny that, with all the pop-up tutorials the game gives you, it doesn't describe the block types. Unless there's something on the main menu that I didn't look at. But honestly it seems like there's a lot of potential. My next game I want to try stacking those block-destroying buildings.

I think this is different enough from its obvious spiritual predecessors to be a valid game. The tower defense/mining combo genre is a neat framework for new indie games

My first thought is that this is a mix of Oxygen Not included and They are Billions. And I am deeply interested.

If the miners don't do anything during an attack, and the attacks all come from above... Why do they need to stop mining?!

This looks interesting but unfortunately I cannot trust Hungry Couch Games as a developer after how they handled Black Skylands

@@gatunhame The 1.0 release removed a LOT of the game's content and radically changed the storyline to be weak and short. Since then it's only received a single hotfix update and the devs have been mostly mum on the reasons why they gutted their game. You can see the rest of the playerbase complaining in the steam discussions

Neat idea and look, but having basic game mechanics behind not just metacurrency but also a.. Level up requirement? That's pretty lame. But some of that's bound to change before full release, maybe.

Nice to see your take on this demo. No medbay... no way to heal workers... seems like a needed mechanic in the game. Even if it was expensive, it seems like it would be worth it.
