A bit difficult to understand at first, but a neat concept. I really like the minimalistic visuals too. I will have to say though that starting the game is very rough, because you're met immediately with a piercing loud sound and walls of text. Could definitely make it a lot more inviting. Would be cool to see a more polished version.

Pretty entertaining tycoon game! The instructions you put in the description made enough sense to figure out what to do. I also really liked the light on the head of the miner. The sound effects for the robots moving wouldn't work for the green or blue bots though. Also, the AI is a bit glitchy, occasionally collecting other ores. It's okay for the theme, but it feels more like AI is helping you, but you're not really helping it (collaborate). I'd love to see some satisfying particle effects when ore is collected too! Going for the satisfying route of collecting ores would have to be the main way to keep players entertained. Unless you add a timer or some kind of pressure/penalty, then there's really no reason not to just use the best bot, go get the ores then hit the top of the screen to refresh. Overall, fun tycoon game, but needs some more satisfaction though to keep players entertained :)

Nice concept! I have to agree that a tutorial wuold be very helpful! :)

Adding the company shares to buy was a really nice touch!  Well done!

this game has really great audio and game mechanics but i think a tutorial level would be great i played this two times because i skipped how to play :( ,overall a nice cavey atmosphere, if you could add fog or something like that it would have been a masterpiece i also found a bug within your game i think its related to shaders or something

Once I understood what was going on I really enjoyed this!  The text was way too much for me to read so that's kind of my fault for skipping through...  I do think it was just a little unclear what the robot was at first - since it wasn't super close to the player to start with.  Great work ^_^

Too much text but gameplay loop is fun!

A simple tutorial instead of a wall of text can be a real game changer ;-)
The game looks simplistic but good, the dropping water effect really adds to the atmosphere of this game!

Interesting idea. It is a bit difficult to get around and learn how to interact with the game. Maybe an interactive tutorial would have helped. Good job!
