Dome Romantik
This is the game jam version of Dome Keeper.
Originally developed in 72h for Ludum Dare 48. The web version can have crackling sound, use the download version if it bothers you. If you saw Dome anywhere in recent time, it was a much newer version than this one here, now called 'Dome Keeper'.

Could you please properly state what operating systems your game works on? It would really save me the hassle of discovering for myself only AFTER downloading.
GG, really nice game.
I enjoyed this quite a bit! Very charming, yet eerie little game. I like the animations for the monsters. The ones that slam on the glass are unsettling in the best way possible. The flying ones remind me of some depictions of moth-man, just a winged blob with eyes.
I noticed that once i got the double lazer upgrade, controls for the lazer became somewhat unintuitive. I think at that point it should switch from left/right arrow keys to up/down arrow keys, since the lazers don't really have a reason to pass over each other.
I'm downloading the steam demo as we speak. Looks delightful. Most likely going to get the full version soon!
Great game!
that is one amazing game ! i once hade an idea like this but i couldnt turn it up into a game !
Thank you! We made it into a full game since :)

cool . i will defiantly chick it out
Hi!! Are there any differences between this itch.io version and the one on steam?
Yes, itch version is a week of work from a game jam, steam is 3 years of work. Way more content, better graphics, music, sound.
my numbskulled self could not figure out combat first try
fear coursed through my veins
I might go back to fire emblem
*stamp of approval*
i mined every single block
it was fun
Yes yes, my perfectionist self couldn't do otherwise
i am going to do this now
lol i used the ore finder and mined evvery single little block until the monsters came to attack<3
my intrusive thoughts won
I LOVE IT
Great game!
this was SO much fun oh my gosh!
Shocked that this was made in 72 hours! Amazing game!
THAT IS SO GOOD
Damnn, can't afford the full version. AHHAHA. well, still good luck to your game. 👏
it's cute and simple, i hope you can add little of the features from the full game to here🥺
can I be on switch?
Sorry to yell you this, but, you can't be on the switch.
I'm so soar to hear that
*stands on nintendo switch*
Really great twist on classic concepts! Love the atmosphere and flexibility of mining. Pretty tough in this version!
I want this game on my switch asap, its so cool
so perfect

The windows downloadable version has a problem in the options menu. Impossible to move the mouse pointer... It is always flickering! Maybe use same keys in the game would be a good choice.
This is a really polished demo, feels really great, nice and atmospheric.
Great game. Casual was fun. I could play and beat it in a single sitting. Great because there's no save.
cant wait for the full version to be added onto here
Full version is on Steam as Dome Keeper
I loved this game! The only bug that I found was that if you hold space for the lasers and kill the creatures before they come on the screen, the hostile mob indicator will keep on blinking even though all of the creatures are dead.
great game
I absolutely loved this game! It was so much fun and intuitive, and I really enjoyed figuring out the best way to win. The only downside was realizing it was coming to an end haha, but I genuinely loved the game. Highly recommend giving it a try!
There's a glitch where if you die when you have the digging upgrade, the speed upgrade, and/or the anti gravity upgrade (the one that lets you carry any amount of materials without slowing down) and respawn, you respawn with all of the upgrades.
really fun game! my only couple of criticisms would be -
with regards to the difficulty scaling, it really feels like the difference between 'easy' and 'normal' is in the later half of the game? for me at least i wish there was a mode that could ramp up to the hardness - it's just when i'm in the early part of the game i really need to get my bearings/get on solid ground. also - it would be cool if there was an upgrade to show how close you were getting to the core/how many levels down it is, or something else that at least reminds you what the objective is. maybe it's a little silly, but i got caught up so much in the process of mining and defense and upgrades that i totally forgot the goal was to get to the core, and got a little confused/frustrated once i'd upgraded everything and wasn't sure what to do next.
really cool design, though - it's very cute and i love the colors, and the gameplay is one that imo immediately pulls you in!
This is the demo, this isn't remotely reflective of the full game at the moment.
ahhhh I was so disappointed when I reached the core lmao, I wanted to keep playing!!
I feel you
