Nice factory game. Nice artstyle and music.
It reminds me of Factorio! This game is chill and focused on producing coal, it's a nice time-killer game. I love the art style, and the music fits nicely as well!

Very inresting game, can spend hours while playing
Fun idea, nice art, good sound effects! Transporter shenanigans aside, this is a cool game!
Very fun! I agree with some other comments about the item transport, but I don't think it was too bad until the machines started to get packed in more densely.
Great job!
Thank you!
Feels like it needs a proper tutorial but for the time u had to make it, this looks great! :D I hope u make it out of there 😂
Needed a little time to understand how the game worked, but once I did I really enjoyed it !
I liked the little dialogues with the totally not suspicious individual, way more interesting than to just put the missions on the top left one after the other without any context imo. Makes you want to stick around, too.
I'd say my biggest complaint has already been mentionned by a previous comment, but the item transporter was pretty hard to work around. Every time I made a new path that involved destroying a previous path, it just didn't get the direction right and I ended up clogging the whole thing.
Anyway, a really good game, definitely got me hooked !
Thanks for your thoughts, I am happy you liked it!
Yeah those transporters have been such a headache, I have to come up with better mechanics in the future.
If you have any more complaints or criticism about specific things I would love to hear them. But in any case thanks for playing!
This game was amazing! However, there is one big thing that makes it a lot more annoying than it has to be, and that is the item transporter. I couldn't understand how to control the way it pointed when there were several next to each other. Sometimes they merged perfectly, sometimes it refused to go onto another conveyer belt. Making machines deposit materials on the newest transporter was also annoying, because when I went to change the conveyer before it would go back and clog it, meaning I had to destroy even more to solve one tiny problem. I think it simply needs a rework.
I also think the game dragged on for too long, especially the last objective, since you're limited by the item transporter speed.
Despite that, I had fun! This game is very well made for a 4 day time limit ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Thanks for the feedback! Hope you enjoyed.
Yes I am aware the transporters are REALLY annoying, I couldn't get them to work in time and had to move on, they definitely are the biggest issue. The last objective is also a valid point, I should've probably had another machine or something instead.
Holy, what a good game that was!
This is what I mean when I tell people to make simple but fun games: you took a very boring task and made it fun. Now, given you made Factorio gamejam edition, I think it's fair to say that the game is really solid and very enjoyable. But I'm not here to praise you, I'm here to give feedback. I think the entire plot line can be scrapped, I don't need a reason to make a coal factory, rather I'd like for those tasks to give me more tools to be better at mining coal. I'm asking for more content basically. I also think the more playing space would be good I had to squeeze my machines in there lol. Simple art and audio, but I can't complain
9/10 ^^
Thank you!
Very valid points, I mean for the content I definitely would've added more if the time allowed it. But glad you enjoyed it!
A fun game to play. I loved the music it loops nicely. I can listen to it in background evenwhile working.
100% worth a shot. absolutely addictive.
Finished the game, that was ADDICTIVE
Honestly played and am still playing this game for 30 mins now! I still have the 2500 coal left on and generating in the background whilst writing this 😂. It is really fun and the fact it has a story has kept me hooked so far because I want to find out what it's about. The music is really bobby and your game is quite satisfying. I think it matched the theme perfectly 😁
Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I was hoping for, making this. I am glad you liked it!
LOOOL, im currently at 9646 coal, tryna hit 10,000 incase there is something 👀
Reached 10k and have to say it was "truly marvelous" and that I think that the name of the game is great btw😂. 1000% worth it, I have to sleep now, it's 5am where i live💀
