Space Diggers by arg-games
You are repairing something on your ship when suddenly -- you snooze! You are drifting away from your ship, floating in space for hours until a small asteroid hits you. Luckily, your mobile base station kit is still intact, so you can start finding energy on this lost place to leave the planet as soon as possible. To collect energy, you need to build solar panels, but this isn't easy. Solar panels need a rare material, deep under the surface of this asteroid. You need to dig deep into the ground to find the needed materials for your power plants. This will bring up your energy meter. Good luck!

Feedback
- Clicking a spot mines it for resources.
- The red bar is your stored resource capacity; expand it with silos.
- The resources shown beside unit types in the help panel correspond to resource icons in the resource panel at the bottom of the screen.
- Energy (E) units are the solar panels you need to escape.
- The small progress bar above the resource panel at the bottom of the screen tracks your progress toward enough solar panels to escape the surface.
Once I got past all that, the game was pretty nice. I liked the way a single square of terrain had strata that yielded different resources as you dug down.
I think the game could use more explanation. It might help if the speech bubbles said "MISSING <resource icon>" instead of "MISSING RES".
And here's what it looks like with a lot of miners. =D
