The music and art made the game feel super comfy, and I loved the fake scanlines. Using the same bar for the ship's antenna progress and the mineral's health is fantastic UX design, and I like how the game lets you keep playing after you win.\n\nI 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.

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.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1218601,"author_name":"LDJam user 423693","author_uid":"423693","epoch":1777405105,"text":"Awesome clicker.

The music was nice and chill, kept me clicking till I completed my mission. If I was going to critscise I might say, maybe a bit of variation in where you have to click would help the gameplay a bit... like if the resource re-spawned in different locations or something :shrug:.
