Manic Miners

FREE KEYS AVAILABLE - ONE PER DAY !-)

Today, Unleashed, Has Been "DEATH BY ... STENCH" !-)

Now, whilst excavating, your Tiny Miners (TM) might accidentally come across gas-pockets !-)

I have FREE KEYS available for grabbing, if you have an Android device. Here's how:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alderson.dave.tings

1) Get a free copy of my app, and "PUSH FIRMLY FOR ... TINGS!".
2) Make sure volume is up, as its also text-to-speech!
3) When the ten Tings are done, choose the funniest one to share via email to someone in your contacts list.
4) A second copy of the email will also be sent to: tingscloud@outlook.com (mine).
5) I shall choose from this account to reply with one free key per chosen email.
6) Perhaps even buy the app (99p + VAT), to unlock over Two Million Tings.
The more Tings you have, they funnier they can randomly be !-)
The funnier your shared Ting, the more likely a free game key will be!
7) And share the funniest Tings also to Facebook, Twitter, and/or WhatsApp.
8) AND THE SPEECH OUTPUT CAN BE SAVED TO BE USED AS YOUR PHONE'S RING-TONE !-)

Yes, I know, a cheap marketing double-ploy! Well, somethings got to pay for what I want to do next ... Two-Player P2P Online Real-Time Manic Miners ?-)

If you receive a key, and like the game, please positively review it on Steam, and share its existence with (at least a few of) your friends !-)

UPDATE ! (15/10/16) - The first participant has received a free key !-)

If you think you like, but you're not sure ?-) Deffo, see here, for real ...

Coming ... Soon !-)

In-game achievements page (they make more sense when not displayed in some "random" order).



(Yes, it doesn't show your actual stats yet. I'm doing that next! Pass me the ... vodka. CODE-ON ... MO-FO !-)

And, a new fatality-method ... "DEATH BY ... STENCH!" !-)
(Tee-hee-hee!)

There will be subterranean gas-pockets, to be found accidentally (like Wormholes). The gas will spread a non-infinite amount. Breathers are immune, else death will occur much quicker than drowning. Gas can be vented by digging a tunnel, for example, horizontally out through a mountain-side.

Aha! And it will obviously be EXPLOSIVE gas!!
See: Methane = CH4 ... or "chuff"!

Now The Tiny Miners (TM) Are Really Getting Worked !-)

They now have a first round of achievements to attain. Hopefully, a lot more will be added, if my mad ideas make sense ?-)

A Key For TNT, And ... "SMOOTH-O-WORMHOLES" ?-)

Thus, apologies, but any custom key set will need to be redefined, since a couple of the defaults have changed. Specifically, 'T' (turn miner) becomes 'I' (invert direction), and I'm sure you can guess the rest! And also added a nice fading effect for when a Tiny Miner (TM) goes through a wormhole:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGQ61-sftXQ

Now, I want to add stats/P2P/etc, but the Steam API crashes ... blah! blah! blah! AHA! - needed to change "Struct Member Alignment" from "1" to "Default"! - Well, stats doesn't seem to do anything, hopefully more luck with P2P. I imagine keeping an online 2-player game perfectly synchronised might be tricky. Only one way to find ... out !-)

OOOPPPPS ! Sorry, fixing for Steam means PREVIOUS SAVED GAMES WILL NOT LOAD !-( But we need the Steam stuff, so that's that.

Currently, adding ACHIEVEMENTS, which will take a little ... time!

A keyboard control for TNT MODE !-)

Now, I want to add stats/P2P/etc, but the Steam API crashes, in exactly the same way as it does when I run one of their example projects. For the mo, I'm stumped. Can find no answers online, neither ... ?-(

To Aid Understanding Of The Controls !-)

Added to the mouse pointer, beneath the current mode's keyboard-equivalence, the current mode's status, as in OFF, ON, or TO-DO, where relevant.

And to the lower of the ENLARGE-O-SCOPE ring, the left icon shows selected Miner's current mode, and the right icon, any pending mode (which will mostly be digging or bashing).
