The art is really good. The mission system is quite a nice addition. It's a cool factorio-like, nicely done bro.

I really like the retro vibes here. It reminds me of the classics. I assure you it gets a 5/5 star rating.
took a bit of understanding but fun little resource game. Well done
This is interesting and really like the kind of game that has resource gathering and crafting! Not sure if it's just me but, there was no audio while i was playing. Good luck!
Nice start to something! I struggled a lot with the UI, often placing things I didn't want, unable to remove things due to right-click interactions in the browser, constantly losing what's in my quickbar and having to re-equip it after crafting another one. I made it through the main quests, but eventually I got stuck trying to do the depot missions, my starting depot was apparently just broken, so I made a new one, was able to deliver iron to it, but could never get the second mission activated after activating the iron one, which seemed to just never complete. I also had my assemblers often stall out when an insert decided to load more than 100 of one ingredient leaving no room for the second :(. Dragging to place conveyors worked nicely, and the visuals tied together pretty well.
Lots of potential, was having fun once I understand the mechanics, but it was quite hard at first to figure out how things work (example: how to equip the pickaxe)
Nice game! The UI is a bit squished on my screen and is hard to click some buttons, but other then that it's a very solid crafting game!
With sound effects, it would be better. The UI is missing some polish and the game is suffering a lack of tutorial. But well done, it's lot of work for a game jam!
This looks very interesting! But I'm off to a difficult start. How do I place the furnace? tried clicking a bunch of places but no feedback. am I able to or supposed to move the "guy" or whatever that is at the center of the screen?
I believe this could become quite interesting with some cartoon-style effects and sound effects as well. The art is already quite nice and gives off a somewhat cartoonish vibe.
Seem like a very nice game! I appriciated the tutorial, and ramping up things slowly..
However, maybe I'm dumb, but I couldn't figure out how to smelt iron lol.. I crafted the pickaxe and smelter, but when I clicked on the iron deposit it still red. tried to drag the pickaxe to the map, and place the furance, but it wouldn't let me
Could be cool to continue after I understand those things
Hello! It was pretty hard times with understanding controls and how game windows work, but I still managed to complete several quests.
The game crashes several times, and I had to reload the page each time, with small progress lost.
The game seems pretty deep and filled with mechanics, but I can’t get into that fully due to the constant errors.
Very like the game quests and missions, it is very helpful to navigate and do some goals.
I didn’t like that crafting items requires time, since I had to wait without any actions I could do inside the game.
Thanks for the detailled feedback and sorry for the bugs that you had, My game engine is not mature yet and i didn't have the time to bugfix everything ! Hope you still enjoyed yourself !
I will extend on those quest ! But yes following your points the crating time for the inventory doesn't make any sense as it does stop you from the rest of the gameplay and i can just keep the crafting time for the assembler (auto crafter) instead ! I have added this to the todo list post jam !
Cheers :)
