Wow, what a great game. At first seems simple but addictive and satisfying, then the ending took me by surprise! Won't spoil it but keep playing until the end folks, it's worth it. Kudos for the mobile support too. Congrats on this amazing work. :)

Ha! I thought it was going to go on forever, the ending really took me by surprise. Well done!
Bro what?! Tells a story, short, opinionated, and thoroughly engaging. The perfect game jam game. Kudos.
Also, didn't expect the Hindi at the end, but great touch :D
Haha funny game, the UI interferes a bit with the game. Nice job!
I was surprised by this game. It looks simple, but it was really pretty fun! I think adding the gun was a nice touch and pretty funny. I wasn't sure what it was for at first. Not sure how long it goes on, but I got bored with just digging and upgrading my pickaxe after a while. I think there are a ton of really cool ways you could expand this, like adding more enemies and upgrades! Keep it up!
I really appreciate having a game that I can play on mobile, this game is pretty fun and it’s a good mix of resource management and combat
This is a good game, IDLE farming type? not sure about the genre but it is relaxing, if I could give an advice would be to add some game juice for example more animation to the elements I use with the mouse but it is very good overall, also I liked the music
very well made and scoped idle game! hope you polish this more. its one of those addictive games where you start thinking you will play a minute and then stay for half an hour
Fun idle game. Mybe we need to invest in security more. Give one-two workers a gun to do the protection part at some point. Solid entry!
Cool game, a bit sad there is no full auto gun because once completing all upgrades game is brutal to play with a RSI, and the diggers don't get any cheaper if you lose a load. Some very cool ideas here tho!
this is a really cool game; it needs some balancing and its gonna be fire!
I really enjoyed the gameplay and theme, I liked the concept of a side scroller with a mineable resource limiting how you move. A tutorial would have been nice, and I feel like the upgrade system for the auto workers could have been a little more fleshed out (maybe there could be a benefit to the drills vs heavy machinery, rn it felt like I was putting money into something that didn't matter). That being said, really solid entry for a jam!
You had me hooked. I saw it to the end. The end was a surprise! Good job!
It took a minute to figure things out without a tutorial, but once you start getting upgrades the game becomes incredibly addicting! The music is really nice too. Great entry.
