Just Dig

Unfortunately missed the notif. about AI crap being worked into the game - but even if it hadn't, this would suck. After 1.5 hours of really mostly staring at the drill while holding down the mouse button, all I have to show for "progress"is: - the most frustratingly tiny multipliers ever (think 3% crit-chance increase - and crit doesn't even do much) - a still painfully slow pace at mining anything but stone (9 seconds for 1 iron...) - zero proper idea what half of the mechanics are (you can make filaments. What for? No clue. You can activate auto-drilling with energy points. How do you get those? No clue. Wouldn't matter anyway because...) - AUTO-DRILLING DOESN'T WORK IF THE GAME IS MINIMIZED -> check the forums. Can't make some dev's ideas up, I swear. I play lots, and I mean LOTS of those kinds of games. I don't mind a bit of waiting, grinding, etc. - it's usually the point. But this is one of those typical "What do you mean, I should actually plan out player progress mathematically?"-titles that figured if you throw some AI-generated pixel art into an engine, you can ask money from people. I mean... they didn't even bother to add a few textboxes explaining their own items... Even at sale price, you're better off giving this one a pass.

1st, I don't care that they made this game with AI. 2nd, this isn't a terrible game, it just isn't nearly complete. Extremely flat and it shows that the developer doesn't have the best of programming abilities as of yet, or they relied too much on the AI. Things like polling events for when a mouse button is released are way too delayed, a pretty typical "new to programming" mistake. Still, there is a decent framework and with some work (and help from someone with a bit more experience, or just more effort), this could be really good. 2/5 - If it is on sale and you want to take a chance, go for it. Otherwise, wait for some patches.

Looks and feels like a cheap, poorly balanced idler. Totally makes sense as its an AI slop.
