After months of playing my own game alone, someone else can finally play it today. Nullvein demo is live!

Solo dev here. I've played Nullvein hundreds of times during development but I'm completely blind to what a first-time player actually experiences.

Be merciless. Bugs, balance issues, pacing problems, I want to hear all of it. This community has taught me more about incremental design than anything else, so your feedback genuinely matters.

Nullvein is a incremental mining game:

  • Mine ore blocks with mouse hover
  • Progress through a skill tree to get stronger
  • Hunt the Firestone, a brutally rare RNG drop that upgrades your pickaxe
  • Reset, go deeper, repeat

The demo is ~30-60 minutes of gameplay. I'm planning to launch after Steam Next Fest in June.

Two weeks and only 21 wishlists, I must have made a mistake.

I'll be releasing a demo of my game in a few days and I hope to gain some momentum before Next Fest. But considering I've only gained 21 wishlists in the two weeks since opening my Steam page, I must have done something wrong.

If you could review my page and share your harshest feedback, maybe I can improve things.

Hey fellow gamers! I've been working solo on this 2D neon mining game and finally have a trailer to share.

The core loop is all about hovering over nodes to break them, managing tight 16-second rounds, and pushing your multipliers as high as possible. I really wanted to nail that cozy but action-packed feeling with the neon aesthetics.

What do you think of the art style and the UI? Any feedback is super appreciated!

If you enjoy chill games with big numbers, you can check it out and wishlist it here:

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some gameplay from Nullvein, a chill cyberpunk incremental game I'm working on.

Instead of traditional clicking, your pickaxe auto-hits on a timer! You simply drag your cursor over the nodes to break them as fast as possible. As you progress, you unlock a massive skill tree, use lucky charms, and trigger massive multiplier chains to completely flood the screen.

Just wanted to show off the visual style and the core loop. Hope you enjoy the neon vibes! (You can find it on Steam if this looks like your kind of game). 👾
