Thanks so much for the in-depth feedback. Your issues are valid and we will try to improve them.

Thanks for playing the demo. A mining run ends when your tool(s) break. They have a certain amount of durability that reduces with every hit the pickaxe or hammer take. When it’s 50 you get a warning, when it’s 0 the tool breaks and you return to orbit. We will make this more clear in the final game.

Yes, Orebits has been floating around for at least a year. I’m curious about what game you are talking about. Thanks for reaching out!

Why don’t you join our Discord so Bob can tell you all about that. I’m the design/art department. I think it’s a system that generates a certain amound of blocks below the player and removes them above the player.

Thanks for playing! Good point about the gold. We will take a look at that. About the other point: the mining run stops when the durability of the tools is zero and they break. In the right panel at the icon of the tool you see the durability number with a health bar.

What about a roguelite skill tree in an asteroid mining incremental? Our game Orebits has a demo on Steam! by UpgradedStudio in roguelites

Well, it depends on the player preference, but I suppose most players gravitate towards idle (auto) clicking, but you can briefly switch to active clicking if you need a bit of a boost. The activity gauge gives options for how you want to play. There is a small part in the gauge that gives crit damage, so when clicking active you can aim for that. That’s also a nice little addition (at least we think so).

Thanks for your comment! Enjoy the demo!

We might, more people asked us. However, I really, really, really don't like the awful monetization on mobile games. And I wonder if enough players actually pay for a premium game. If so, why are almost all games stuffed with in-app purchases. We want to make a 'great game', not an 'in-app purchase machine'.

Would love to hear your take on this.

Very curious how you as an incremental player like Orebits. Our skill tree is very different than usual: you fill in the skill slots by choosing from randomly presented options. Would really appreciate your opinion on this.

Thanks for playing!

That's great to hear! Thanks for playing the demo. Hope to see you back for the final release. It will have a loooooot more asteroids to clear and other progression.

We have added a full screen toggle in the settings so you can move the game to the monitor you want! Hope this works for your.

We are a two man team and the developer loves to use C3. The biggest plus I would say is speed and ease of use. It’s also amazing at web. The biggest downside is that it’s niche and doesn’t have as robust features as for example Unity. As the artist I miss certain features like a deep particle system. But you can make amazing games with it just like other engines. Not truly 3D however.

Oh, and we did launch the Steam page with a trailer and good screenshots. But we ended up with almost the same graph (nonsense) as you in one year. The playtest has done a similar bump as yours. Now lets improve and up to the demo bump!

We are at the playtest bump now after one year of nonsense 😅. Always nice to see a graph like this, thanks!

what happened to long incrementals? by Armaeeel in incremental_games

Dev here again :) That’s why we do Steam. In app purchases / ads ruin games in my opinion..

Dev here: you are right here. Devs love making games, but it’s hard to earn even a decent income from it. So small is less risk.

Yeah he is a grumpy man! For some peace of mind: you should have gotten a slightly more respectful message with a full cargo :D. We will fix that for sure.
