I started this game during the Summer Game Fest 2026. I think I missed many trailers and suddenly it was 3h later. Nice little addictive game.
Dear solo developer ludokai, your dream didn't come true. You made your dream reality all by yourself. And it's really nice. Just the right amount of grind for a game like that.
A very relaxed mining game, but a hair short. I finished it in 2.3 hours. I can see me replaying this in a few months so I think it was totally worth the low price.
I love it! Really chill and fun little game to play in one sitting. This is pure gold for anyone who likes incremental games. It's incredibly satisfying to break those rocks and watch everything fly toward you.

Thank you for playing, sharing feedback, and reporting issues.

(Sorry about that, and thank you for your patience!)Various minor quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.I'm also working to solve the Steam Cloud sync between platforms and getting the game verified on Steam Deck, hopefully pretty soon.Thank you again, and I hope you continue enjoying the game!
