Steam Achievements

We've been experimenting with Steam achievements for the full game so why not bring a couple to the demo? We've added the following achievements:

  • Meet the Elder

  • Destroy 1k Ore

  • 1 MILLION

  • Mountain Mineshaft

  • OMG!

If you should've unlocked these achievements already then they should unlock when you launch the game for the first time after the update with the exception of OMG as we had no way to track that previous to this update, sorry!

New Content

We've got a few new things for you!

  • A new bomb ability has been added to the pickaxe tree. Rather than a small sprinkling of random bombs, this is a bomb you can place to cause a massive explosion on those pesky blobs of ore.

  • The Ghost Pickaxe can now be unlocked in the pickaxe tree. Previously only available through the pickaxe crate ability or dice roll. You can now unlock the chance for bonus picks to sometimes spawn as a special ghost pickaxe instead! Real scary stuff.

Visual Changes

We have changed some things, visually.

  • We thought the old grey background needed an uplift. We've got a new background with a different colour per menu/location, with slightly slower movement and bigger squares to make it less distracting.

  • We have also changed the font on the popup/damage text. It's now a little easier to read but not quite where we want it to be - we'll likely change it again before release but we hope it's an improvement for now.
