Death By FrostByte - Pre Alpha
A downloadable game for Windows
Death By FrostByte
After years of scorching heat, an incoming frost is on the horizon, putting half the planet into another Ice Age. Most of the land has been taken over by ice, which forced many cities to relocate. The mining industry has been severely impacted by the lack of space. With demand for more mining on the rise, you set out for the arctic to start your mining industry.
Your goal is to build a colony of workers to mine resources and manufacture parts while surviving the harsh climate. Research new technologies, build up your industry and survive with limited resources.

watch me struggle as i try to find out how things work, i had a lot of fun playing game!
Thank you for playing our game!
I see you had trouble with the cable mechanic. The New Circuit is to add the first cable, then you select "Add Cable", click and hold on the cable you just placed and drag it where you want it to go.
Still a lot more to come in the future!
even though i struggled a lot i played over half an hour because i was having fun, after i uploaded that video i went back later and played some more, i think your game is hard but fun !
My focus is to make the game challenging at first but for the player to me able to pick up on the mechanics. Like when your improving by learning from your past mistakes.
Glad to see you have enjoyed it!
For a pre-alpha demo this is very very good! I love all the mechanics and the theme of the game. It would be good to maybe have a little more direction or even to have specific requirements or challenges crop up but I know it's still early. Love it so far though!
Thank you for trying out Death By FrostByte! I agree the game is currently lacking objectives or gameplay but that is our main focus from this point on. There are many game mechanics and gameplay objectives that we still want to add.
What you’ve got already is great, I’m looking forward to giving it another try further down the line!
