A downloadable game for Windows

In order to win you must gather the 5 data cores inside the data mine

Be careful though, you are mining inside the game memory

Mining the wrong data might make the game unbeatable by normal means

Move the miner with W/A/S/D

Hold left mouse to mine a byte, mining damage scales with pickaxe strength

Hold right mouse to mine with strength 1

Place bombs with SPACE

Equip the goggles with 'T' and switch the data type with 'R'

Use pings with 'E'

Pickaxe speed will increase the mining speed

Pickaxe luck will increase the amount of data gained

If the admin ability is owned, you will be able to mine protected data

Armor will let you move to bytes with higher values

The lantern will let you see more easily which tiles the miner can traverse

The goggles will allow you to see the data in different ways

The goggles will block your view of the mine

Bombs will damage you and the data around it

Increasing the bomb power increase bombs damage to bytes and the radius

Bomb shield will give you inmmunity to the bomb explosion

Pings will indicate the direction of the closest data core

Data counter will show which bytes are the data cores

Install instructions

This is my first ever released game, and I don't really know if it will work on others people computers. Because I tried on my laptop and I kept getting a Windows error :(.

No dependencies should be needed, everything is packed in the game.

Seems like I fixed it maybe. It was actually a dependecy problem with 32 and 64 bits libraries.

Game loads up and seems interesting, but holding left-click seems to do nothing. Am I misunderstanding the instructions or something?

If you can get pass the main menu that means the game captures the mouse input okay.

You need to aim a the hex characters and a rectangle cursor should appear, then holding left should play a mining animation.

If that doesn't work, I don't really know whats going on. Can you interact with the shop at the top?

The shop doesn't seem to allow me to highlight or press anything, which is really weird!

I'd mess about with the resolution, but the game keeps resetting its own resolution (which imo it shouldn't be doing) when I try to adjust it or fullscreen it. The menu's mouse support also seems to be oddly sluggish, although that might be a matter of how I'm running it

the game doesn't work for me either if you fix it i would like to try again

Uploaded a new version.

The problem should be fixed, sorry for the inconvenience.

cool
