How I Made Mind-Ding Your Own Business

How I Made Mine-Ding Your Own Business

This game actually started on a day when I was sick and stayed home from school. With a full day free, I decided to challenge myself and start a brand-new project. The idea came pretty quickly: a mining game where ores fall from above and you collect them with a minecart.

Once that was working, I needed a way for players to turn ores into money. That’s when the big pipe mechanic was born — move your cart under the pipe and it sucks up the ores, paying you cash in return. Simple, satisfying, and fun.

From there, I added upgrades so you could spend your hard-earned money. Right now, you can:

• Unlock new types of ores

• Reduce the time between ore spawns

• Upgrade your cart to bigger and better versions

• Boost your cart’s speed

I built most of this within the first three days, but I wanted to push it further. So I added plots that you can buy to expand your mining empire. Upgrading them even makes ores spawn two at a time — with the timing offset so you still have a chance to collect both.

And I’m not done yet! I’m continuing to add new features and improvements. If you’d like to support me and play the game, feedback and donations would mean a lot. Thanks for checking it out!
