Minute Miner

An asteroid orbits a pulsar in a far corner of the galaxy. On its surface, an incredible wealth of quantum gemeralds. An intrepid AI rover stands ready, waiting for the all clear. Once those doors open, there'll be no room for mistakes. 60 seconds. That's all that stands before this intelligent machine and total destruction, unless it can make it back to the safety of the silo in time. A haul of riches awaits, but 1 second too long on the asteroids surface and ZAP - nothing will be left, not even dust. You feel a trickle of oil down your chassis, knowing now, in what could be your last minute in operation, that indeed, a machine can feel fear.

Made as part of the 1 Minute Jam over 5 days

How to Play

Use WASD to drive the buggy around the surface of the asteroid, collecting as many precious stones as possible before returning to the safety of the bunker. If you do not get back in time, all those gemeralds go to waste!

The satellite on the rear of the buggy blinks faster and changes to red with the less time you have left, it also points toward the bunker at all times!

You only have 60 seconds per run, so use them wisely!
