Interesting idea and realization, but bit too hard.
Nice job!

I really love the graphics, esp. the little gif of the title. Unfortunately, I am not a resource game person and my lil house was gone very soon.  Overall great vibes!

Thanks!

Same as Jesse, I can't figure out how to start playing, since the mines use up the energy that's needed to build your first power plant. I would love to play a fixed version of this game because it looks really fun.

Also the music goes extremely hard.

Thanks for your comment! Power plants do not require energy to build. They only produce it.

Sorry for music(

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but when you hover over a lvl 1 power plant, it says they require 30 stone, 5 metal, and 5 energy. I can’t place one even when I have 30 stone, 5 metal, and 4 energy.

Also, I was complimenting the music! “Goes hard” means it’s really good :)

Okay, i see now how game works, maybe some bug. And thanks for the music review!

I don't know, but everything works for me. I put 5 level 1 mines and then a level 1 station. Maybe you accidentally built a level 2 station (a huge pipe).

Sorry for such difficulties in the game. I'm basically a programmer and I couldn't explain what to do in the game and balance it. Our game designer was busy and could not participate in the development ((

I tried again and it worked this time, I guess I must've been doing something wrong the first time (probably accidentally clicked the lvl 2 station). Really fun game! I made through it seven waves :)

Developer(+1)

to be honest, i am cant survive before 6-7 wave)) this is good that you liked our game. thank you very match!

Seems like a cool concept, but I can't get going. All you can make at the beginning is the level 1 mines, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get energy since the mines use up the energy you need to build the power plant.
I really like these kinds of resource managment/efficiency type games, so I'd really like to play it more if you get to start with more resources.
Also, I don't get to see all the underground space like the screenshots do,  just a small layer.

Developer(+2)

Thanks for your comment! Power plants do not require energy to build. They only produce it. 1 lvl - 5 units energy and 2 lvl - 15 units produces energy. About underground space - just press S on keyboard.

On the right in the corner is the building menu, where you select a building, press LMB and put it in the right place (the building will be green). Also, each building requires a certain amount of resources, which is written on the panel at the top right (in the corner). The building with the image of the soldiers is the barracks, you can build them and by clicking LMB on the barracks you create troops. Also works with tanks, but they require microchips. They are made in chip factories. To give an order to soldiers or tanks, press RMB and they will go in the direction you clicked.

Mines must be connected to the surface! They must have access to it in order to work stone and metal. That's what tunnels are for(Press T to buid tunnels)
