Haha, I really enjoyed the game! Does it use a random number generator to determine whether a stone is 'evil' or not? How does the torch affect this mechanic?
To be honest it was made in such a rush, in the last hours of a game jam when it became clear that our teams initial concept wouldn't work out so the team splintered into smaller groups and made new ideas in a real frenzy. So I don't remeber exactly how the code is structured, but from what I can remeber yes it is an RNG. However I think the torch has different power settings which let's you mine faster but increases the probability of an asteroid turning out to be a monster. So you can mine slow and safe or fast and dangerously. At least I think that was the idea. Glad you enjoyed it!

Seems to be a nice idea, but without game play video, it's hard to say more. Rebecca
