Dome Keeper

TriedandTested · 27 Sep 2022 at 21:22

Defend against waves of alien attackers in this innovative roguelike survival miner. Dig for resources and choose from powerful upgrade paths. Is there enough time to mine a little deeper and get back to defend before the monsters attack your dome?

Just released today - seems excellent so far! Pixel art is fantastic, and the game loop is spot on so far.

Looks fun - thanks for the heads up.

Just the type of game I would sink hours in. Another for wishlist.

Thanks for sharing, this definitely looks like something I will enjoy. Not quite sure of the longevity looking at some of the reviews, but very tempted and it's on the wish list for now.

I gave this a quick go to see if I'd like it, but sadly it seems like it will be limited in replayability.

The mining reminded me a lot of Motherload if anyone remembers it. Mining is definitely the more fun part of the game.

I feel like the waves would be more fun if you used material to buy automated defences, moving a lazer around yourself isn't really that fun, and I'd rather be mining

The upgrade system is very cool, but game was over before I could get the upgrades I wanted done, perhaps a bigger map and more waves would have solved that, giving more time to get upgrades sorted.

Nice concept though in general.

I have played about 4 hours so far, and the intial map size isn't the only one available.
