Is this for real? Lets try it... Solodev here making a minimalistic pixelart 1bit miner game.

I want to know and see more - are there upgrades? different ships?

please, bring it to @playdate!

Dude I’m super inspired by this, as a web dev looking to make a simple game what tech stack is this or is just a game engine? Thank you, looks sick!

This is unity 2d + a custom framework for mini games I was working last year.

Gorgeous! Would look so sweet on a CRT

@boomtaplive Thanks! I really love the current depth of the game with using only 2 colors and targeting a low resolution.

I really dig this! I'm curious: what is the design reason for the fog-of-war? It's not an element I see often outside of... well, war games 😆 Also, this is asteroid mining, isn't it? Super nice! I used to do a lot of that when I tried getting into EVE lol

The reason for fog is to promote exploration (in mining too), otherwise you see almost everything and can plan beforehand the best way to get some minerals, Another option could be to hide minerals (like domekeeper), I like fog to promote exploration in empty space too.

The visuals and the reveal is super adorable! Best of luck on this project!
