Looks and sounds good, but what. is. going. on ? :-D

Looks interesting, but I could honestly not figure it out despite the tutorial. I put the raw materials in the ovens and collected the refined materials, but sometimes they vanished in the center and sometime they just stuck around? What does filling an area mean? I finally managed to grow the green area, but still ended up losing directly after. Might be a cool little resource management game, but I think it could use some better instructions.

Really nice visuals and the music and sound effects fit together well too.

It took me a few attempts to understand how it all works, and I found for my screen at least that it could have started zoomed out a little bit more, especially as the scroll speed is a bit too slow and you have to get very close to the edges to scroll (that was awkward on a multi-screen setup as I kept leaving the game screen. Maybe add in arrow keys for scrolling as well?). Once I understood what I needed to do, it was pretty fun.

It would be helpful to have a bit more time available at the start of each game, to get a sense of which mines were where, and a couple more sound effects to help note when ovens finish and new materials are available.

Thanks for a fun game :)

I couldn't really understand the objective or the way to keep each area from "losing", but the style is nice.

I'm glad to see factory management game in the jam! It was a bit confusing at the start but after a while I figured out the mechanics. Interesting theme implementation and I really like futuristic graphics. Good job!
