actually really fun lil mining game. the core features are focused around devleoping/repairing your little mining town, piece by piece and then upgrading things to make runs easier. the runs are rogue lite in nature timed events, that can go from a lil over 4 mins, to 15 mins or so! depending on length selected. time is measured in "days" with the default plot being free and 4 mins/0.5 day, and going up to 5 "days" long. the core game-play loop will see you taking on a time based mining run, using your various tools available to you, you will eventually strategies ways around obstacles, decide whats good to stick around for and even unlock cool upgrades and powerful passive ability's that can really change how you play. back at base, you have access to a smithy, and a shop where you will be spending most of your free time creating items, and selling them. the smithy comes with a selection of mini games which eventually max out and let you "auto forge" and the shop has a separate progression system with furniture customisation (buffs) to enhance your selling capabilities! i wasn't sure if i would like this game, but i was pleasantly surprised! its got a pretty addictive loop, its simple, fun and has a nice progression grind to it if that's your thing (unlocking everything will take you a long time, im like maybe halfway thru mine! you can even unlock reward based missions later on too! overall value for money game, and super fun. it has a coupel of smol bugs at time of writing, but nothing a quick restart wont fix

B+ game solid start for early access. cute game great way to waist time. Early game to mid game is fun late game is the same thing with different items. i don't feel like there is an endgame yet. i want them to add something to work toward as the game loop for mid game is the same for all parts of the game and gets repetitive after a few hours. Some items and upgrades need balancing as they aren't rewarding for the cost. the auto ore pick up should be a default upgrade as it outshines relics and limits relic variety. also the smiting mini games need work. some are a cake walk and others are so clunky you shouldn't even bother trying
