Ruby Hunter becomes free starting 1st August

Ruby Hunter hasn't received much attention since it's release. I've decided to dust down the project and release it for free for anyone to play. The game itself was already free on the Android Play Store and Windows Store so it only makes sense to drop the price tag on Steam as well. Since the initial release, the community server that kept track of the leaderboards and uploaded levels were unfortunately shut down. As of the past week, it has been reinstated and moved into the cloud so it should run with a higher availability. After restarting the server, I was pleasantly surprised that some of the leaderboards got filled relatively quickly with your plays. I'm happy that even though I've neglected the game and provided no updates in the past few years, some of you still have fun playing it. For the future, I don't have plans for making major changes. Updates for small bugfixes may come, but don't expect gameplay changes or general overhaul. One small little addition that is in the back of my mind is in-game notifications when someone improves on your entry in a leaderboard. (No time-frame for this though.) Last but not least, the source code for the game has been made public. See github.com/Sipkab/ruby-hunter. Have fun.

Ruby Hunter is a 2.5D Miner game where your objective is to retrieve the treasures buried deep in the mine.

During your journey you will face several challenges, fight fierce battles with the creatures of the mine, and solve tricky puzzles. Fight the evil Yam-Yam beasts, use the help of Lorries and take up the duel with the Bugs to get their loot. Convert precious gems, shoot blazing lasers and blow up your timebombs on your way to the exit.

Ruby Hunter took inspiration from old-school classics such as Sapphire Yours, Boulder Dash and Emerald Mine.
