I really like the game boy feel and look of it.
Fun little idea but pretty easy to "win".
Fastest way was just to not mine gold and go straight
for the diamonds. 10 seconds down there and I could
buy both NPC's. Anyway, good job with a nice polish :)

Super valid feedback there, the diamond/gem nodes were a very late addition as I was trying to just put some other mechanism into the game, as such it didn’t get nearly balanced right. I think in a longer game they would make sense as a later stage progression, maybe you have to buy access to the inner mine area where you can then automate these more valuable resources.
Thanks for playing and commenting :)
