Not bad! Quick, simple, chill. It's a no brainer game where you mine stuff, sell stuff, upgrade stuff, and blow stuff up. Rinse and repeat for roughly 3-6 hours (depending on your sweat levels) and you're good for 100%. For $5 it's up to you whether that's worth it but can't complain about a game that's affordable, fun, and didn't overstay it's welcome.

I started this game during the Summer Game Fest 2026. I think I missed many trailers and suddenly it was 3h later. Nice little addictive game. Dear solo developer ludokai, your dream didn't come true. You made your dream reality all by yourself. And it's really nice. Just the right amount of grind for a game like that.

A very relaxed mining game, but a hair short. I finished it in 2.3 hours. I can see me replaying this in a few months so I think it was totally worth the low price.
