I seemed like I wasn't able to do anything with the garbage that was destroyed on the walls. Did I miss something? (I couldn't figure out how to get the right mouse button to work.) Otherwise, the art was good and simple and the music was intense. I felt the pressure from the music, which in this case was a good thing because there is no timer.  The music kept pushing me forward to look for new ways around the world.

I'm not entirely sure what your genres were, the music was way more intense than the gameplay (also super loud), the graphics were minimalistic (to the point where I wasn't sure what I was looking at most of the time, maybe include some kind of tutorial\/legend\/key?). The color scheme was nice. I wish the majority of the games contents were explorable in a shorter amount of time (most people aren't looking for an hours worth of gameplay).

I didn\u2019t have time to implement a tutorial so apologies that you got stuck.\n\nOnce 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 \ud83d\udc4d\n\nI\u2019m 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!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mediyaz","author_uid":"1072657","time":"2018-04-25T08:05:10Z","epoch":1524643510,"modified":1524643510,"text":"@Elfcirynn Thanks for playing and your honest feedback - yes I definitely need a tutorial or help screen or SOMETHING - Going to be working to implement that tonight actually \ud83d\ude05 If you fancy playing again, you can cheat to clear out all the garbage and press M to get infinite money so you can peep the endgame. My genres were Dystopia and Uptopia! Is what we're seeing in the game a Dystopia? It certainly is for the robots, but for the humans? We only get a glimpse at the peaceful carefree Utopian lives they lead in their eternal virtual existence while robots clean up the world, generate their power, earn their money and take care of their physical computers their minds inhabit. It started out as a combination of gritty brutal sci-fi + quaint chilled farming simulator and kinda evolved from there!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eugene Myach","author_uid":"1049746","time":"2018-04-27T16:38:33Z","epoch":1524847113,"modified":1525337320,"text":"I did not understand the game.
