Very addicting! There is a small exploit players can do to make free items. If you craft something, it only takes the cost of the initial craft. You can then switch to a more expensive option like say diamond/iron boots and get those without paying any diamond/iron.
This was a great little game, the visuals and sound design especially stood out to me, and the miners were pretty cute. One suggestion I'd make is for there to be an inventory screen so you can deck them out easily, and of course a little bit of a longer game overall, as I never really got to use the last gear upgrades on all of my miners.
Oh my goodness, this was a blast! I know some comment about the miners being useless but I LOVED them, and appreciated the auto-click (in my desk corner here my hands get icy and it's hard to click fast even though I LOVE idle/clicker/incremental games).
I also loved the "ascend" option! I wish it was easier equipping my lil miners but otherwise this was fantastic 🧡
The game is solid. The miners are only animated. They didn't do anything horizontally, except when going down a level (on the browser). It would be nicer if they actually helped horizontally.
It is suggested that the ability to zoom in should be added for visual accessibility. And we may also appreciate the animations better. The deeper levels become darker. Higher contrast is not required for me here, but it would be appreciated - the current contrast in the darker levels is still marginally acceptable.
I managed to finish the game and ascend to the top again. It is quite fun :)
I installed it with the Itch app, and when I tried to run it, it failed to run with this error:
Unable to parse Build/Web.framework.js.gz! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header “Content-Encoding: gzip” present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug.
I also tried to open index.html in several other browsers, but got the same message.
I don't know how the Itch app works, but that's the standard error message you get if you try to run a Unity webgl game outside the context of a web host.
The itch app loads web pages from itch.io, but interacts with them differently than a standard web browser does. The app has an Install button that tries to find and install compatible games from the web page, and when I used it on this page it installed the “Web.zip” package. When I try to directly click the Download button in the web page (instead of the app’s own button) to get “Hollowspire.v.1.0.zip” it says “No compatible downloads found.” This is, apparently, because the download hasn’t been explicitly flagged as being for Windows.
I want the miners to drop their old inventory item so someone else can pick it up. It's hard to equip everyone because anyone will pick up a +3 helm that isn't an upgrade for themself. Enjoyed.
Heya. I just want you to know that if you have a computer that doesn't perform well the miners become useless as they zip over where they're trying to go and just go back and forth constantly.
Fun enough regardless, even if I had to use my mouse alone :/
I deleted the word 'icons'. Is it okay to say 'sprites' then? Anyway, I was referring to the animated images, no derogatory meaning or insult is intended.
Just as a note for future players, or those who are still playing: if you put the mining gear directly on the miner, instead of dropping it, it's instantly equipped and the others can't steal it. Hope it helps!
Unfortunately, that’s hard to do when they’re running around like demented squirrels. It would be nice if you could hit pause when trying to give them stuff.
some feedback: for whatever reason miners only mine one block. miners that already have a nice tool tend to greedily snatch a new tool away so that others can't get it. typo at 2nd helmet
Successfully done simplified addictive mining game. It's well developed. However, it's pointless and not very satisfactory because mining to the end of the earth without nothing to explore feels empty to me. Showcases your dev skills well though!
Reminds me of mobile games. You developed the system well. You could improve this concept and make an addictive idler mobile game if you make the progression slower and the give miners characteristics i guess...

Super addictive game!
It took me a while (a whole day 😅), but I had to max out every upgrade.
Highly recommend – totally worth the time!
Same! Only thing I couldn't figure out was if there really was a Click Radius upgrade.

Super fun and simple! Love the look & sfx!
I just get a black screen with the upgrade and crafting options once the first layer is destroyed, i.e. going from layer 0 to 1
Get the same error. Playing on Mac...
Loved this! A fun take on idle clicker games :)
This game is a gambling man’s addiction. Love that I can score and buy and just have fun while mining. 10/10.

Nice music tbh
So the miners can only mine down and not when they're on the same levels as blocks? Mine just run around unless they're on top of a block.
For me this problem happened only in fullscreen mode. When I exited fullscreen they started doing stuff
Yeah, I only played in small screen but it still isn't working.
make it so miners cant pick up an item of equal or lesser value
How does one unlock the click radius? After beating the game once nothing happened other than keeping everything and restarting the floors.
Excellent idle game about mining stone.

There is a downloadable Zip file
that contains an exe version of the game

good to know, should be fixed now! thank you for the info
It does indeed work. Thank you.

Agreed. The miners are moving without digging anything on the browser except when doing down.
I'm on browser and they work fine. They aren't "icons" though. They're little animated miner guys. I wouldn't say they are "icons".
I deleted the word 'icons'. Is it okay to say 'sprites' then? Anyway, I was referring to the animated images, no derogatory meaning or insult is intended.
Purple play symbol hovers in the middle of the screen. Hides half of the field.
Amazing use of music and subtle visual distortions!

Why have a click radius upgrade if it's always maxed??
Seems like no one reported this exploit, but I think in the current state it's a necessity:
1) Start crafting basic sandal
2) Click on desired items before craft finishes
3) Profit
Basically reduces the cost of all items to 3 stones.
Reduces the frustration of miners hoarding good items.
Visually nice IDLE-ish game, love the aesthetic.
Okay, I found a very funny bug, when my computer is on low battery mode, the miners don't jump anymore.
As soon as I plugged the power cord back in, they went to work !
yeah this one is kinda broken, but very fun
interesting.
some feedback: for whatever reason miners only mine one block. miners that already have a nice tool tend to greedily snatch a new tool away so that others can't get it. typo at 2nd helmet
This is delightful!
miners aint mining chat....
miners worked fine for a while but after level maybe 14? they started only mining one block per level. don't really know what happened
overall fun tho
When you drop freshly crafted items , it could be easier if the miner that already had this items don't rush to i
Yeah, that wastes the equipment. :(

Reply to me if you wish to brainstorm ideas :P
good game
Cool game. Very pretty visuals!
miners dont work on full screen?
tried 20 mining games in the past hour this feels the most chill and satisfying for the visuals
had a great time playing it
I finished, but felt like I had to ascend, because they just looked so happy to be mining!
does anyone know how to get the secret? agree with the miners take things they already have is stupid
Absolutely loved this! So addicting
Miners probably shouldn't be picking up upgrades items that they already have...
Or at least prioritize grabbing ones they don't have over digging
miners feel kinda useless... why do they only mine one block a floor???
