I thought it was strange that you couldn't spam-buy the mining robos, but once the rate in which I was gaining minerals surpassed the rate in which I could pay for robos, it felt very satisfying. Great job!
perfect simple fun clicker!
I may be too much of a min-maxer, but I found the robots to be a hindrance. The robots are fairly slow at mining and the time that it takes you to buy a robot and for it to get to mining, you could have mined significantly more if you had just kept on manually mining. For a game as short as this, I don't think the robots are actually worth buying, unless you (the player) plans on stepping away from the game.
EDIT: Wait I'm so silly that's how you build the antenna. Nice -- that explains why nothing happened when I hit 500!
