Very cool! Well done terminal graphics! Reached the completion depth with joy)

I stumbled on some visual shift: game continues after reaching it certain finish depth, and text with completion results will be seen mixed with other UI components on the middle (shop, build, etc)

But so minor things won't stop me from reaching the top Auto-mine! (next on the list is the piece just for 100000 gold)

Thank you! :)

Hoping for a Mac version!

i'm at depth 39.. never encountered any boss.

(+1)

Hey! The boss is currently just a "place holder". It can be found at depth 100

does the steel drill not work against the boss? the damage animation only seems to play with the normal drill

(+1)

It does work against the boss. By damage animation you mean the sparks? If so, that's a potential bug. I'll look into it!

This is a very good looking itch page

How do you run this? all i have is an exe that opens the terminal, errors, and then closes before i can get any info whatsoever

Hello! That't unusual. Can you try resizing the terminal to make it bigger before running it again? Are you running it on Windows? If resizing the terminal doesn't work, try opening the terminal, make it bigger, navigate to where the game is saved using the comand "cd path/to/game-folder" then command "./terminal_descent.exe". Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, that fixed it, thanks!

THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC 

Thanks sooooooo much for submitting this to my game jam check out the page i made for it: https://itch.io/jam/python1/topic/5066553/thanks

hi, this game is written entirely in python, right? would you be willing to upload an uncompiled build so we can run the game manually on linux?

(+3)

Hey! I'm currently working on a Linux build that should be available later this week!

(+2)

Hi! The Linux version is out!

thanks ^-^ i really appreciate it.

sadly i am having difficulty getting xwayland working on my fedora machine, so the game isnt launching... because of missing xorg functions i think? i dont think thats a bug with the game necessarily, unless you intend to natively support wayland, but figured it's worth mentioning 

oh, I'll try to figure out a way around this

Hey friend, how’s it going? That’s cool, man. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to run the .elf file—it will only work on the machines where it was compiled. Can you create a Docker image? A Docker image will run everywhere without compatibility issues.

(+1)

Where is it? All there seems to be is a .exe that starts up, but doesn't seem to respond to keyboard input or anything

(+1)

can you send me the source code? it crashes a lot (on windows) but it's really fun. i could refactor your code and fix the issues and send it back to you.

--- Founded bugs and other stuff (06.17.2025) ---

  • I don't know if this is intended, but if you want to do anything with writing text, the terminal captures those inputs
  • Holding the "e" key causes UI freeze (you can't press any other buttons, but the game continues running) (sometimes happens, sometimes not)
  • Text "Shop" and "Build" are overlapping a text "Press a SPACEBAR" to mine a boulder, until SPACEBAR button is pressed
  • Holding the "d" key in shop (while having big amount of Rubble) causes UI freeze (you can't press any other buttons, but the game continues running)

That's all i could find for now

Thank you so much for reporting theses bugs and detailing them. I'm already working on the first point (keys being registered all the time) and I will definitely address the other. Thanks again :)

Hey, just letting you know that the latest update fixed all the points you mentioned!

--- Found bugs and other stuff (06.19.2025) ---

  • The "Steel" counter is missing
  • The "[R] Drill" text is missing
  • You can't switch between drill types in the "Drill Types" menu
  • The game randomly stops auto-mining (sometimes indicated by the disappearance of the "Iron" text), which forces the player to close and reopen the game manually to restore auto-mining
  • Clicking "d" key in the store, followed by spamming "h" key causes the heater to switch back to grey and not remaining red as expected

That's all for now

Hello! I've tackled most of the bugs you reported. I'm still trying to reproduce the auto-mining randomly stopping, so I can pinpoint the cause. But I'm keeping an eye out!

WOW THIS IS FANTASTIC

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Can you provide the .py version of the game so I can play on MacOS?
