And that's a working main menu for Sweepminer ! the settings are saved and loaded both locally and through steam.

please consider adding to your wishlists: store.steampowered.com/app/3906680/...

The game should release in December ๐ŸŽ„ and will be pretty cheap

Perso j'ai trouvรฉ que la vidรฉo รฉtait dans l'ensemble trรจs positive, bien qu'effectivement "emballรฉe" dans une structure un peu bizarre pour faire entrer tous les compliments dans une trame gentiment provoc...aprรจs j'y ai pas jouรฉ et j'ai adorรฉ ton analyse du gameplay.

a fake game screen showing a world/dungeon map. the ui shows 3 dices in the bottom left of the screen, next to two vials filled with liquids, one red and the other yellow. There's on screen directional keys on the bottom right. Above the keys is a sprite sheet of the player character, a caped figure with 2 white dots as eyes. The animations are labeled idle, hit, huh? and death.
