The really great art and sound design creates a good atmosphere in this game. Would have liked to see the people you find follow you out of the mine.
@thx4nothing @xevozfighter: Is there any output on the console window? Do you have the .NET Framework installed? If so, which version?
@CheeseyBob: Thanks! Yeah, we would have liked to add some more features (for example the miners following you) but we ran out of time. We bot put about 20 hours in the game.
Here is the error:
Failed to create an OpenGL context for this window

@thx4nothing: Thank you!
We updated our build to (hopefully) get rid of this error. Please let us know if there are still any errors.
I still get the same error. I also tried to install Mono, but it did not work.
Really good game :D.
Graphics and audio are cool. I like the atmosphere it makes
@thx4nothing: We added another build (top, Failsafe build) which doesn't use certain features (namely the clouds on the surface).
Do you have an Intel graphics chipset? It seems that there are some problems involved. If you've got the time, try updating to the latest graphics drivers.
Thanks for keeping us updated!
Awesome Graphics!! Some player animations would improve that even more though. The music was great and it really suited the atmosphere :)
Could have used some cursor key controls after all the clicking required to escape, but nice atmosphere and mood!
Nice graphics and music! Game got a little easier when I figured out that keeping the left mouse button pressed is enough to move, not constant pressing required. Good job!
Great graphics and sounds, could be a bit more responsive, though that is a common problem in point'n'clicks. Good game.
Really great style! The slightly wonky pathfinding was annoying, but aside from that, great game! You did a lot with a little.
The clickbeep gets very annoying after a while. I liked the graphics and the music was ok. Would be nice with some challenge or at least one more difficult puzzle.
Very fast drill ;). Seriously interesting game, I liked skinny people with helmets. Music is very cool too...
i love the pixel art style and the fake scanlines effect
very nice entry
Cool atomsphere. I enjoyed it, even though it was a bit short.
Very nice looking, but text is hard to read when it's dark. UI should be on a layer above that stuff.
Good framework, but was lacking any real gameplay. I never had to make a decision that seemed to matter, or solve a puzzle that felt rewarding.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I can get past the loadingscreen. It does not respond.
