Loongcheer game just releases an indie pixel roguelike action game on the Google Play beta track as an early access game. (2021-11-10)
The game is developed by Korean indie game studio CindyZ and published by Loongcheer Game in the global area. (Besides Korea, Japan & Brazil)
Story of the game
Thousand years ago, the Abyss force created many unknown monsters who invaded the world. To defend home, all people united together to defeat these monsters. After a long hard struggle, those monsters were finally repelled and concealed deep under the ground.
One day, An orphan Marson accidentally fell into a mine and encountered many monsters. He was almost killed but luckily rescued by a hunter. Then his adventure begins… Marson decided to stay there and fight to keep the world peace. Help him on his adventure to stand against darkness and reveal the abyss force secrets.
A Dungeon Adventure with Classic Roguelike Features
The main goal in Mine Hunter is to clear monsters in the dungeon and finally defeat the Boss. The dungeon rooms are generated randomly. Every time you enter a stage, you may have a new surprise. At the start of the stage, you will get a random skill and a random artifact. As you progress further, you may acquire more skills and artifacts. However, notice that you have only 1 life in the dungeon. If you die in the dungeon, you will have to start the stage again. The restart chance is also limited daily.
Practice Makes Perfect, Improve Your Game Control
The battle of the game is in the scroll-like dungeon. You will control our hero to fight the monsters in the dungeon. The control is quite easy, with a panel to control left and right, and some buttons to control attack, jump, dodge, and the use of artifacts. But the question is, how do you survive in the dungeon and defeat the monsters of the stage with 1 life only. You may need to improve your control mastery in the game to pass the stages.
Strengthen Your Hero and Craft Equipment
There are ways to strengthen your hero. Firstly, you can add attributes to the hero in your way. Add more points to attack if you want to deal more damage and add more HP if you want to be safer. During your dungeon adventure, you may collect many materials from killing monsters and you can use them to craft equipment.
Exquisite Pixel Art Matches Roguelike Features
What’s the best match to a game with classic roguelike features? In my opinion, of course, it’s pixel art. Compare to other pixel art game, the pixel art quality of Mine Hunter is high. You can see the well-design pixel art and the nice portraits for main roles when you speak to them. Along with the exciting bgm, your game journey in Mine Hunter will be fantastic.
There are more features in the game to be introduced. Such as the artifact system, skill system, and the role switch system.
If you are interested in the game, be the early players to try the game and join the discord of the game to chat or feedback.

Gamescom 2025: New Records and Important Impetus for the Games Industry in Germany and Worldwide

Gamescom 2025 ended with numerous new records and strong momentum for the games industry in Germany and worldwide. Records were once again set, particularly in terms of key figures such as internationality (70% of visitors from abroad, exhibitors from 72 countries), digital reach (more than 630 million views worldwide by 23 August evening alone), exhibition space (233,000 square metres) and the number of exhibitors (1568). On site, 357,000 fans visited the world’s largest festival of games culture. The number of trade visitors rose to 34,000, with a particularly strong increase in participants from the US, China, Canada and Japan.
“This year, gamescom 2025 is sending out a particularly positive signal. After two challenging years for the games industry, you could really feel the mood improving this year. The new record figures underline not only the global appeal of gamescom, but also the upward trend in the entire games industry. gamescom 2025 is also a milestone for the German games industry: political support for the additional tax-based games funding at gamescom was stronger than ever – from both the federal and the state level alike. This creates hope that progress will be made quickly. But there were also positive signals on many other political topics, whether for e-sports from Federal Minister Bär at the political opening or from Federal Minister for Family Affairs Karin Prien, who was just as convinced of the important work of the USK in the protection of minors as she was of the enormous potential of games for the education sector,” said Felix Falk, Managing Director of game – The German Games Industry Association, the co-organiser of gamescom.
Political interest in gamescom 2025 was greater than ever before. In total, over 600 politicians came to Cologne to see for themselves the current developments in the games industry and the enormous economic, cultural and technological potential of games. Whether from the federal states, the federal government or the EU, the political guests came from all levels. In addition, a particularly large number of international delegations travelled to gamescom, for example from this year’s gamescom partner country Thailand as well as from Brazil, Indonesia and India.
Gamescom 2026 will take place from 26 to 30 August. It will open on 25 August 2026 with the gamescom Opening Night Live.
