Gold Miner by byExclusive

[raw]
made by byExclusive for LD29 (JAM)
You are the miner. The Gold Miner. You want to mine those shiny rocks deep down in the caves. And you want to mine them all.
The game has pretty claustrophobic atmosphere.

NOTE: Adobe AIR 4+ is needed to play!

I really like the music.
The game is a bit slow on my old iMac (Core 2 Duo).

I wasn't picking up any gold either. At least I think that was the gold.

I will try to answer all questions. Sorry for the percenage. If amount of gold is very big, you cannot see any changes of percentage because it is rounded. Sorry for game's slowness. And yeah, you should mine gold. Sorry for my bad English and thanks for comments.

Not bad. I like the atmosphere of the game, very claustrophobic and oppressive, with the music and everything. I had a similar problem where I mined gold but there was no indication of it - even the '0 of 314' counter wasn't increasing?

I couldn't collect any gold either, the counter wasn't increasing.
The art and music are quite good, but the monster sound gets annoying after a while :-).

I tested game and found that gold counter isn't increasing. I'm sorry. I'll try to fix it if possible.

I uploaded game in a hurry and forget to disable debugging and fix counter (it already was fixed), disable FPS counter and enable some other things that was disabled during debugging. The deadline was over and I can't do this things because they aren't "Typos".

What's taking up 53Mb?

Good game, but the gold value does not increase at all. I would probably check that and fix it whenever.

@InvisibleWonder, I think it is music. There are about 7 tracks.
@Vytheros, yes, it's a bug

I liked the digging mechanics but I think it would be better if it didn't require the mouse.
I liked those shuffled music themes!

I like the atmosphere! The gold mining mechanic is a bit simple but it plays very well.

Nice game, though the sound of the monster is pretty loud.

Good execution. I would have prefered a bit more variety with the monsters, their growl got repetitive pretty quickly. That said, it's pretty fun to go in a straight line pressing the cursor a bit ahead of you, digging away to your heart's content.

Good mood thanks to the music and dark surroundings, too bad there isn't a bit more to do.

The menu screen. Wow. The gameplay seemed a bit tedious to me. What was the odd sound I kept hearing, kind of like... Ooooweaaaa

Hard to read those text boxes with all the shadows.

Nice ambiance but gameplay is a bit boring. I spent minutes digging everything and couldnt pick up any gold.
