Amazing game and really well done! Maybe you should just tweak the difficulty a bit but great nevertheless.
Great job for the jam! liked it, but a bit less dark would've been more fun in my opinion :p
Glad you liked it! And thanks for the feedback!
Niceeeeee game!
Thankssssss!
Overall great game.
Thanks!
Amazing game all around! Very well polished and lots of content for such a short jam period.
I feel like the enemies could drop a bit more resources, I stopped playing because it took too long to get enough red / yellow gems (or is there another way to get those?)
The only way to get the red and yellow gems were through enemy drops. Sorry, we didn't have much time to balance the difficulty. Still, thanks for checking out the game and I'm glad you liked it!
Amazing Game! Honestly the story was fun, the upgrading system was well thought out and the diving portion was difficult enough to force me to upgrade quickly. Great work. It took me a second to mess around with the controls but it really wasn't too difficult to get the hang of. Great work.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
5/5 Across the board!!

This is the best game I have played yet! This is my top pick for this game jam! We got to get you more ratings! Because this is a fantastic game!
Thanks so much for this review! It really made our day! We'll let you know if we decide to release a bigger version of this game!
Very interesting concept. Kept getting my butt kicked out of the dimension before I could even find any ore most times. Feels wells polished and definitely enjoyable, great work!
Thanks!
Whaaaaa!! why does it only have 11 ratings 😢 I don't really like 2D games but after this one I got inspired to even start making my own!!! I usually give suggestions on what to add but this one is perfect 😂
maybe one thing the interaction was a bit unintuitive I kept pressing E then enter, but it turned out to be up arrow.
Great job!
Thanks for the compliments! It means so much to us! And sorry for the controls, we ran out of time to make a proper tutorial.
Nice that you made the assets from scratch - you can tell some love was put into it!:) I like the take on this theme, and it provides clear guidelines and limitations. The game was easy to understand even though it lacked a tutorial and presented a couple of challenges (navigating and using controls at the same time was hard for me). I like how you paired the music with the environment and assets, that worked really well in my opinion. Solid game overall, and adding some guidelines would really give it that extra layer! Well done also on the level design, and use of lighting :)
Thanks for taking the time to play our game and write your review, and we're glad you enjoyed playing! We ran out of time so we couldn't add a tutorial, but we'll definitely prioritize it next time!
I feel that!! We also ran out of time for some things!
great game, feels rlly fleshed out and complete for just a week of work
Thanks so much!
Great game! Loved it ^^
Glad you loved it!
The game design was really well done. It was hard to use the melee weapons, and hard to navigate while holding escape. The controls were also not clear, but maybe I missed an explanation of them.
Yeah, the melee weapons have infinite ammo so we thought that would balance it out. Also, we didn't have time to make a tutorial or a controls screen, so you just have to read it from the game page. Sorry for that.
This game is SO GREAT! I love it! :D
Glad you loved it!
Loved the arts. Excellent ui and upgrade mechanic. A bit hard to play (or I am just a noob player). Good job!
Thanks for playing!
Cool game and mechanics, i like the challenging of this game and the chasing of monster
Glad you enjoyed the difficulty!
Cool game, fairly well balanced and with interesting graphics.
Thanks! I'm surprised you found it well balanced!
Great mechanics with awesome art style with great sounds....mind blowing game
Thanks! So glad you liked it!
Fun and challenging game! Had trouble getting the other gems but it's a great game for sure! The art style is very cool!
Thanks!
This is probably the best game ive played as far as a game loop is concerned, I liked the graphics, the sound design, the idea, pretty much enjoyed everything. one thing that I think could be better is if I go back to the white portal i think i should go back through instead of having to hold esc, other than that it was cool and really impressive you made this in a week, kudos!
Thanks for the compliments! The portal was a little rushed, we hadn't even given it a proper pixel art sprite lol
