The fact that you have to drag the equipment on to the board doesn't add anything fun. The fact that miners will be greedy with the upgraded equipment makes it actively unfun.
That's easier said than done. When there's more than two or three of them they're always running around, and because of the perspective I've accidentally upgraded one that was standing a bit in front of my intended target more than once. Drag & drop is a mild improvement over "throw it on the ground and hope for the best", but much less fun than automatically equipping the miners that need it.
I found it easiest to add one person at a time and give them the hat last - that way you just have to drop the stuff on the dude without the hat to make sure the right guy is getting the upgrades
Has anyone else figured out you can craft any item for the price of the sandals?
First, Click the sandals Then, Click Craft, then quickly switch to whatever you want crafted and then it replaces the sandals, and you end up getting, say the improved mining boots for the price of the sandals. OP Bug
seems like the html version is a bit bugged. Miners dont work properly on that version. Love the game though! Kept playing to get even more stuff! Love the art and the general simplicity of the game. I also like the way you progress through the darker depths with the cool effect that affects the screen.
I don't know what the miners were doing because they were just running around and when the layer shifted down they started "dancing" by rapidly flipping left and right. But you know what, I really enjoyed it. I got a special satisfaction out of upgrading their gear and watching them have fun while I worked, digging each block. But hey, SOMETIMES THEY BROKE BLOCKS... I mean... they only broke about 5-10 blocks in the entire game... but they tried! The ending was cool, too bad it didn't really twist anything. I was expecting to have to break monster blocks one day to keep them from eating my miners...
It seems like zooming in and out of the webpage effects a lot of the gameplay. I had terrible luck with the miners when my zoom was set to 100%. They wouldn't climb back up to chop another block after they finished the first one, but it looked like they were programmed to do so.
And when I upgraded their speed (I think lvl 6 with the red boots) they became so fast they could not center on a block to break it rendering them completely useless.
Also I could not figure out what the secret Click Radius power up was or how to unlock it.
Zooming out on the webpage itself seemed to be the answer. I set zoom to 25% so the game was ridiculously tiny and the miners were able to dig again and they could climb back up to break multiple blocks after finishing their first one. I think even setting zoom to 75% is enough to get these features to function as intended.
And hovering over the center of the spire (at 25%) allowed my power click to reach nearly every block in the layer without moving.
Anyway, was finally able to max out every upgrade after that. Fun game. For me the bugs were simultaneously obnoxious and a fun mystery to solve.
mine doesn't. my miners stopped working after a few layers, only whenever a new layer starts, but after 1 block they just wiggle and don't run to new places
pretty enjoyable! a few bugs, especially the crafting exploit mentioned by others. took about 15 minutes to get to the bottom but I had a good time. the sounds are very satisfying
The satisfying feeling of clicking and the comical movements of the humans as they dig were both so enjoyable and fun! The atmosphere when digging deeper made me feel excited and nervous, and I couldn't help but brace myself! It was such a fun mining experience, nya~! 🐾
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.

I'm so happy it had an end. Else I'd be playing this for a looong time x)
Cute. And ominous! 😨
The Miners being greedy and constantly stealing upgrades they already have make this game just.. frustrating :/
Very relaxing with the music as all the little workers are doing their thing.
I kinda wished there were caves and miners would get in them, like in the promo pic.
Also why do they pick up equipment they already have ?
Still a cute little game though
Very nice, soundtrack is almost too relaxing :D.
Btw: How do you hide the mouse cursor? In my WebGL builds I'm unable to do it with the regular Cursor.visible = false; - Any insight you can share?
Very fun game. Sadly I couldnt max out all the the upgrades. Close enough tho :)
The fact that you have to drag the equipment on to the board doesn't add anything fun. The fact that miners will be greedy with the upgraded equipment makes it actively unfun.
You can drag the equipment to the desire miner and upgrade instantly

Should have called it A Waste of Time: The Game

Cheers for the experience!

Great little game! It does appear that miners will hoard the crafted materials though, it would be nice to not have one miner wearing 3 sets of boots!

after the first layer my entire screen went dark :( (well, i could still see the menus, but not the actual tower)
I love this game!

I'm on a Windows computer with a Chrome browser.
Please fix the bugs! This is a super novel idle game and I REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT
Whenever you fix miners, I will finish the game
download the game, they work perfect in the windows version
mine doesn't. my miners stopped working after a few layers, only whenever a new layer starts, but after 1 block they just wiggle and don't run to new places
很不错的游戏,除了有一些BUG^o^
so in the bottom did we go to the end or the nether ?
The nether
XD!! That's what I'm saying!!!
will the miners do their damn job
Fun game, but a TON of different bugs, as you can read from the other comments.
Guys what do you do for the radius thing
Press alt and f4, thats what I did.
me too
Control and W also is good
Very fun and cosy
pretty enjoyable! a few bugs, especially the crafting exploit mentioned by others. took about 15 minutes to get to the bottom but I had a good time. the sounds are very satisfying
great game but the fact that the miners which already have certain items equipped steal those items from the newer miners is really annoying
Love the game. If it only wasnt so damn hard to give these little idiots their gear xD
The miners can't mine when I have it in fullscreen mode. Not sure why.
Edit: They mine straight down once, but not from the side afterwards.
litterly same cant play it at all for some reason
Yeah I got the same thing
The satisfying feeling of clicking and the comical movements of the humans as they dig were both so enjoyable and fun! The atmosphere when digging deeper made me feel excited and nervous, and I couldn't help but brace myself! It was such a fun mining experience, nya~! 🐾
I love this game. Especially the music👍
I absolutely love this concept; great stuff.
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.
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.
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 :)
