Good micromanagement optimization simulator for small chunks of time.

Baby's first precision platformer, take two. Level design is better than the previous game, 10 Seconds to Win!, but otherwise it's cut from the exact same cloth as the rest of Vergiu's games: Horrendously easy and finished to completion with an hour, with oodles of achievements for every little thing you do.

This isn't a *bad* game per se, just that it feels like a small slice out of something much greater, offered for pennies and catering to the achievement hunter audience.

If you're remotely competent at platformers this is an easy 25 minutes for 100 achievements. Other games have done much better in the genre with more substance, value, and replay ability. 10 Seconds to Win cost less than a buck and the achievements are popped en mass. You know what you're getting if you buy this, don't tell yourself anything else.

Numbers go BRRRR in all the best ways, and has continued to engage me a year after I started playing it.

achievement% speedrun, all 50 achievements done in 15 min, 9 piece puzzles.

Adorable, just challenging enough without being frustrating, and fun! Great for 15-20 minute bursts as a mental refresher.

In the 2.5 years I played a fresh file to 100% achievement completion I learned one thing:

cookies go brrrrrrrr

Additionally, this game is one hell of a labor of love years in the making.

I played this and only this for three months straight until I 100% finished. And I'd do it again too.

main character with no equipment on = naked butz


lol

Fun idling game with a more active set of systems than games like Cookie Clicker. All the different components (Scientists, Caves, Weapons & Monsters, etc) feel more engaging compared to several other idle games I've played, and I've enjoyed this for the month I've played it.

HOWEVER. It is sorely in need of some further rebalancing and fixing. So much of the game is locked behind RNG and random drops, and punishes you at random. Nor does it explain things well; what do the scientist levels mean, why do the % of success feel arbitrary, why won't the scientist continue to attempt the excavation they're on if they die and you PAY ACTUAL MONEY (usually) to resurrect them? Why does The Core seem completely worthless to toss things into outside of Books of Secrets to upgrade relics? Why should we even bother sacrificing minerals to the Core? Why are the blueprints after the initial set on the Moon INCREDIBLY expensive and completely at the whims of RNG to find? Why can't we sell Relics we don't want for benefits or use them in crafting for other things?

Hell, even some basic controls aren't even explained. Like, if you hold Shift and click on a treasure chest it'll skip the pop-up window and auto-collect it. And if you hit spacebar you'll jump to the next point of interest on the scroll bar.

Mr. Mine needs a LOT of work to get better, but there's a really solid and fun idle game here.
