Feel free to rate/review on my Ludum Dare entry page https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/57/steve-the-smith

Intro

Steve must go down into the depths of the mine to collect ores to smelt and sell. Using your pickaxe traverse the mine and collect ore. You have a magic spell to return to the surface, but it cannot bring back any of the ore you mine. To do this, you will need to charge up a ore portal spell. This will receive a charge for every 10 levels you go down.

Don't run out of durability on your pickaxe, or you will be automatically returned to the surface, and lose any ore you didn't send back.

Progression

Progress is saved whenever you visit the shop or the mine.
