Cryptopia by mediyaz
Farming in the deep future - build a Utopia from the Dystopian garbage heap the humans left behind
Scavenge the wasteland, build solar arrays to generate extra power, use that power to carve through the trash and channel it into cryptocurrency mining rigs, earn enough Cryptore to purchase shells to hold immortal human consciousnesses downloaded from the virtual plane - Your goal is to find, fill and maintain 10 shells with immortal consciousnesses. Don't let any shells lose power or their precious contents will expire and you'll have to scrape out the remains and start again!
pssst - if you want to see more of the game in a shorter space of time, you can press backspace then type in 31031989 to enable cheat mode! This will remove all the garbage clogging up the paths and allow you to charge up your beam instantly (press C), get a whole load of resources (press M), or receive a immortal consciousness to put in a shell (press I) - Handy if you're a reviewer in a hurry!

Thanks for playing! I didn’t have time to implement a tutorial so apologies that you got stuck.
Once you collect 100 bits of tech (the number at the top left that increases every time you destroy some garbage) you can build solar arrays on the cleared-out blue outdoor plots of land. These charge up and can give you an extra-powerful shot that can clear through garbage quicker, you can charge up by right-clicking once a solar array has filled up. This charged shot can by used to power the green mining rigs you can find around the map. When you power-up the green rigs, they slowly generate cryptocurrency - when they turn white you can click on them to pick it up, and drop it in one of the two yellow conduits on the map so that you can use it to buy things with. You can buy more mining rigs on the indoor plots of land with this cryptocurrency, to make more crptocurrency faster! If you earn enough you can build shells for human conciousness on the orange indoor plots 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it - personally my favourite part is building a whole load of solar arrays so that you can nearly always become charged by clicking the right mouse button, and blasting my way through garbage or recharging my mining rigs at lightning speed!
I've recently released a small update so that no all the buildings and plots have hoverstates that give you a little more instruction on how to interact with them - That might help you finish the game if you wanted to play it some more! If so, tell me how you got on! 😁
Interesting game play. cleared everything out before i realized i needed to mine more. now i wait i guess. and see what happens. once i have 50 to spend on a shell?
Should of had your brother bust out another song for the game real quick.
@pRoFiT Yeah I considered asking my bro for a quick track but he was off doing a tour of the USA at the time 😅I'll tell him his music has been getting mad props though 💪
Yeah - Once you buy a Shell and charge it up, it'll be ready for you to insert an IMMORTAL CONSCIOUSNESS which you can get from one of the 2 orangey tubes that light up once you build your first shell - once you pick it up from there and insert it in a shell you have to take care of it and make sure it doesn't run out of energy. Find, build and fill all 10 shells to get the sector to max capacity and WIN🤩Now back to work little robot while we humans piss about in an eternal utopian cyberspace while you have to clear up the millennia of garbage we made 😛
Thanks for playing! I've added your game (and everyone elses' who has commented) to my growing list of games to play and rate!
PS - sorry if you're getting slowdown while playing - I made this game fast and dirty and I'm now going back through and making a bunch of optimisations so you don't have to play slo-mobiusly!
