Golden Retriever

About this game

Fat Cat wants his rent and the only way to get it is deep in the mines. In this 2D sidescrolling strategy/resource management game, excavate and traverse your underground mine shafts to retrieve gold! Go into the mines and extract as much gold as you can. Setup your operation and reinvest your earnings into better gear and equipment to mine more gold and win the game! This line of work not only separates the gold from the dirt, but the pups from the dogs. With danger lurking in these ancient grounds, hungry Dinos awaken, searching for prey and loot. The wise miner doesn’t fear the Dino but sees it’s flesh and bones as a potential fuel source for their operations. Gold mining is a treasure hunt, so open your miner’s map, test some dirt, and find that stash of gold!

  2022 Update

  Greetings Golden Retrievers and welcome to our first development update! My brother and I have been having a great time developing the game this summer. The game has officially been in development for over a year now! We've been testing out new ideas and refining old ones. We think you'll be happy with the progress and we'd like to update you on the game. Where We Were Last Summer Last summer was the very beginning of the games development. We had implemented and tested the initial concept of gameplay. We figured out what was fun, and what wasn't. Made modifications, and implemented features from the feedback we got. We took down the old demo and are currently working on the newer demo.
