I can get past the loadingscreen. It does not respond.

The game crashes at the loading screen.

The really great art and sound design creates a good atmosphere in this game. Would have liked to see the people you find follow you out of the mine.

@thx4nothing @xevozfighter: Is there any output on the console window? Do you have the .NET Framework installed? If so, which version?


@CheeseyBob: Thanks! Yeah, we would have liked to add some more features (for example the miners following you) but we ran out of time. We bot put about 20 hours in the game.

@thx4nothing: Thank you!

We updated our build to (hopefully) get rid of this error. Please let us know if there are still any errors.

I still get the same error. I also tried to install Mono, but it did not work.

@thx4nothing: We added another build (top, Failsafe build) which doesn't use certain features (namely the clouds on the surface).
Do you have an Intel graphics chipset? It seems that there are some problems involved. If you've got the time, try updating to the latest graphics drivers.
Thanks for keeping us updated!

All i get is a console window flash up for a split second :(

Awesome Graphics!! Some player animations would improve that even more though. The music was great and it really suited the atmosphere :)

Could have used some cursor key controls after all the clicking required to escape, but nice atmosphere and mood!

Nice graphics and music! Game got a little easier when I figured out that keeping the left mouse button pressed is enough to move, not constant pressing required. Good job!

Great graphics and sounds, could be a bit more responsive, though that is a common problem in point'n'clicks. Good game.

Really great style! The slightly wonky pathfinding was annoying, but aside from that, great game! You did a lot with a little.

The clickbeep gets very annoying after a while. I liked the graphics and the music was ok. Would be nice with some challenge or at least one more difficult puzzle.

Very fast drill ;). Seriously interesting game, I liked skinny people with helmets. Music is very cool too...

Cool atomsphere. I enjoyed it, even though it was a bit short.

Very nice looking, but text is hard to read when it's dark. UI should be on a layer above that stuff.

Good framework, but was lacking any real gameplay. I never had to make a decision that seemed to matter, or solve a puzzle that felt rewarding.
