This game is fucking amazing. No sexual content No Blood No Drugs Straight Fire and Brain Food. Give us more 2d aground updates

Oct. 2024

This game should be more well known. The gameplay and the exemplary progression are as good as the art/UI is crude. The ways that the game constantly throws new and cool stuff at you, even when you think you have seen everything is incredible. Starting from a Motherload mining type game and becoming SO much more, every second of the incredible journey is fun and constantly suprising, with very few dull moments. A true hidden gem and a shining example of the love and care that an indie game can carry. If you are even remotely interested in a terraria like/ sandboxy experience go into this game blind.

I've given this game so many hours of my life that I don't regret. One of the few games I happily payed for, from start to finish. Thank you.

I remember playing the demo edition on Kongregate back in the late 2010s. I remember being so impressed with everything available in the demo and the impressive cliffhanger that I knew I had to buy the game whenever I had the chance (I was a broke high school student then, lol). I have yet to finish it as of now, but it's a wonderful, complex story with so many avenues to take your story. 10/10, would play this again and again; wonderful work devs!

There is a fun digger/builder sim to be found here if you can look past the god awful graphics and UI. This one is pretty unique in that you have 2 unique paths you can follow: Science or Magic. With Science you are building all manner of tech such as guns, jetpacks and eventually spaceships to take you to other worlds. With Magic you manipulate creatures and spirits to create spells and enchanted equipment...eventually taking to space when you evolve a dragon into a living spaceship. Honestly, its pretty rad.
