Fun game. There's a little bit of downtime at first, but once the hate builds up... wow.

Really fun game with a lot of potential for expansion. Starts off calm and then builds up as the hate increases. It does feel later on as if the world is out to get you and that's pretty cool.

Feels like this game is trying to tell me something... whatever, I got a bit pile of gold and haters will be haters :D Fun game, nice message from mechanics, excellent use of theme. Good job!

It's pretty fun, made me go at it a few times.

But other than that, it's hard(I died quick :unamused: )... And it gets the feeling of the world trying to kill you across.

It's a pretty fun game like Andrew said, there is downtime at first, but once the hate builds up, then things start to get interesting. I really like grinding games like this, and I really enjoyed it. If you do continue to develop this game, miner upgrades and a way to regen health would be nice.

Balance is good, if you get a tower early, but otherwise kinda difficult to catch up. Animations and feel are great though so it's fun to replay.

At my second attempt, i quickly built
a forteress, even though the enemies can go through the turrets, I had so many, there was no way they could go over, two furnaces and 3 miners with me mining at the same time makes a really OP invincible combo, I stopped playing at 3000 because I had a hunch I wasn't going to die anytime soon.

The game is loads of fun (which is why I got to 3000 patiently :) )

For your first LD entry, this is pretty darn good. The only thing is that the turret sounds when you have so many is soooooo loud. I had to remove my headphones while I was playing because the volume got out of hand hahahaha :p

In order to maybe balance out the game, the turrets should have a durability, so you cannot just bunker up like I did. Or you could introduce even way stronger enemies at a certain hate level.

I like this game, it's a good game to just grind for ores!

Also thanks for watching my stream ;)

Good job!
