For The Right To Rule
This is a game where you play the role of a broke dwarf living under the tyrannical rule of an evil king. There's an ancient tale of a strange pearl deep in the mountain's caves worth an immeasurable amount of gold, If you manage to take it to the king you'll get his crown and earn the Right to Rule.

i have no idea what im doing.
The how to play section explains it, the white number is how many clicks it takes to mine, green number is how much energy per click it costs. The more you mine without resting the higher your money multiplier, resting regains all of your energy. You can convert health to energy. You can also hold right click on pretty much anything in the game to see a description of what it does. Your goal is to get as much money without dying
theres a how to play section?
Main menu bottom left, opposite side of credits. I’ll think of ways of making it easier to find so this isn’t an issue!
I just released update 0.3 which adds a Full proper Tutorial as one of the main 3 buttons on the Main Menu.
I'd love to hear your feedback if you're still interested!
sure
i dont like how it forces you to use certain things like the health -> energy or the restock, but it fully explains everything and is hard to miss.
overall 7/10
only possible improvement is to add the V to the certain sections so you wont be forced to use things.
Very good game, has an addicting loop that keeps you engaged and makes you really think. excited for the how this developer will grow
super cool!! eventually got overwhelmed by monsters and lost.. but i had a cool build going i think!
Thank you so much! <3
