damn game is fucking impossible!!!

these asteroids nuke your base to hell before you can do sh.t

like you simply cant collect enough ressources to get all 3 fire upgrades in time (if they even do anything).

cause while you got tons of the grey stuff, you gotta search way too much for any of the white stuff.
and even then, the backpack sucks.

like, upgrades come in multiples of 10 but backpack holds like 5 intially and only 8 upgraded?

takes you like 4-5 runs tog et enpough for even one upgrade!

by wave 7 at the latest they have nuked your base to oblivion -.-

Hey! Dev here, thanks for the detailed feedback! 🛠️

You're absolutely right about the pause issue - it's coming in the next update (this weekend!) along with a new spider unit that will help with base defense and add more firepower. Should help balance things out.

About the issues you mentioned:

  • Balance: You nailed it - currently max survivable is wave 8 out of 10. Working on tuning this!
  • Drill/pickaxe upgrades: They DO work - upgraded drill breaks blocks in 1 hit instead of 2, but I hear you on the resource grind. At the moment it is random
  • Fire upgrades/backpack: Still balancing this.
  • Pause during upgrades: 100% adding this with the spider update

The game is still in active development, and your breakdown of the problems is super helpful - this is exactly the kind of feedback I need to see where the experience breaks down.

Thanks for sticking with it to wave 7 and taking the time to explain what's not working. Really appreciate it! 🙏

Spider update dropping this weekend - hope it helps!

Hey there, miners and base defenders! ⛏️🛡️

Thanks for checking out my prototype!

Right now, the game includes about 20% of the planned gameplay, but you can already feel the core mechanics: mine resources, haul them back to your base, and fend off meteor waves.

Your feedback means a lot — what works, what doesn’t, what could be better.

Found a bug? Throw it at me in the comments 😉

Don’t forget to rate the game — it really helps the project grow.

Let’s dig our way to something truly awesome together! 🚀
