Ore Archer by kratorspore

made by kratorspore for LD29 (COMPO)

You are a miner and the cool sort of one who uses a bow and explosive arrows. Delve deep beneath the surface of the earth and overcome creeping lava, swarms of flying bats and rockfalls as you search for the precious Magma Gem, the rarest gemstone in the world. Five levels of mayhem!

Instructions: WSAD moves your miner, aim using the mouse. Left mouse fires your bow. Have fun.

pretty cool! The way that sound effects stack gets a little obnoxious, but the overall gameplay is actually really neat and challenging.

Fun game, good playability. Loved the random-gen aspect and explosives.

The overhead keyboard control with mouse aim takes a little getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun. I like that the different room types combined with the larger blast area forces me to choose my shots carefully.

Shooting the arrow was extremely pleasing, seeing the explosions was icing on the cake. This is actually extremely well done for 48 hours. Good job, I'd play this again. :)

Probably the most fun I've had with any of the mining themed games I've played so far.

That was fun... The controls could be a little more polished and also maybe a map of the entire level would have been helpful.

Very nice. A lake of goal maybe. Should I found every gem too finish ?
But I enjoyed killing bats, run to avoid lava, an arrow-bomb !!!

Fun game. The movement was a little too slippery. I like the randomness, hovewer, some levels were unplayable (surrounded with lava) and restarting at the first level (instead of the current level) made it an annoyance.

The fire bomb arrows are pretty cool! The controls could use a bit more tweaking though, or maybe it's just me. Haha

Other than that the game is fun and I especially love the randomly generated maps, the explosion particle effects and the music. Great job overall!

This was pretty unique. I had some fun, though at times I found the game a bit punishing, especially when an explosion chain-reacts to offscreen (awesome!) and unleashes a crapton of lava (not-so-awesome) that eventually owns the entire level.

Well I think I found my favorite game (after +100 games tested). Great job, I want to see more games from you :D
