PREPARE FOR THE STORM AND PROTECT YOUR MAGIC CRYSTAL

You were just a normal mole, chilling and digging holes like moles do, when suddenly...

A magic Crystal appeared.

This Crystal holds great power, it allows you to make and use weapons, potions and more... but at a cost.

It is cursed, and will periodically summon demons from another dimension in an event called the Crystal Storm.

You need to survive, and defend your new Crystal friend for as long as you can!

You appear next to the magic Crystal, and can press F to interact with it and see a list of trades available.

To trade with the Crystal, you will need to gather ingredients by either mining, planting bushes or killing enemies.

You have 90 seconds to prepare, so make the best out of it!

After these 90 seconds, a Storm event will start, and you will need to dodge through bullets and kill enemies trying to attack the Crystal.

If you or the Crystal dies, the game ends.

After 30 seconds, the Storm ends, killing any enemy still alive, and you get to prepare for the next one.


HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE THE STORM?

Share your highscore in the comments! I'm curious to see how far it's possible to go.

I love this is game and it is so well done for a solo developer. I was wondering if you could upload the source code to Github or something because I would like to study how you programmed such a masterpiece. Thank you for your time.

That's not a bad idea! I could, but the code does look really messy because it's a Jam game

I'll consider it, and thank you for the kind words!

I have years of experience in Godot so I am confident I can understand it. Thank you considering!


I would also love to team up with you in future projects or game jams. We have a very similar game-style and I like we might work well together!

Wow, its crazy how great the quality and presentation is

I love the dynamic music, reminds me of Outer Wilds.

Just wish there were more stat upgrades and a UI that shows how much of each important resource you have.

Thank you! Definitely wish I had gotten a bit more time to add more upgrades and stuff, if the game is received well I might make an update

I like the idea of showing the important resources, I'll take note of it
