Remember to build those solar panels to supply power.Clicking on a miner results in a temporary increase in it's efficiency. You can also upgrade the existing miners and solar panels if you ran out of space. When your storage gets full, you have to send it directly into orbit using our quantum transportation relay. In reward you get more funds and storage to continue the operation.\r\nGood luck!\r\n\r\nTools used: \r\n- Unity 4.3 (For 90% of work) \r\n- Photoshop (For 2D graphics) \r\n- Blender (For 3D graphics) \r\n- Visual Studio 2013 Pro (For coding and wiki) \r\n- Notepad++ (For text files)\r\n- Evernote (For notes and stuff...)\r\n- as3sfxr (For sounds)\r\n- abundant-music.com  (For procedural music generation)\r\n- TiMidity++ (For music conversion)\r\n- Audacity (For music editing) \r\n\r\nUPD: Added a POST-COMPO version with some minor bug-fixes, gameplay changes and nice parallax effect. Stay tuned for future updates. \r\n\r\nUPD2: POST-COMPO version has been updated! It has completely new mechanics as well as a win state and a fail state. I might add some more features, I'm not sure.\r\n\r\nThe original game is still playable.\r\n\r\nRoman Kornev\r\n@RomanKDev","title":"Ice Mining Facility Mk3"}
