A fun little game.
Tips:
Leave us some instructions! i was trying to figure out for the first 10 minutes on what i had to do.
Clearly indicate which way the cart will go if i place it at a certain area.
I really liked the whole "click as fast as you can" to sell your stuff when its at its highest price. However it got annoying later in the game when i had vast amounts of tin and copper.
7 / 10
I really liked this game. I had little difficulties in understanding the mechanics first, after trying and clicking I got it.
Instructions would be nice, but still pretty good.
Sorry for lack of instructions, I have added them here.
I like the idea, but I am a little confused by the fact that you don't have to get the cart's back from the mine in order to sell what they "harvested". Also I don't understand what the lightning(?)-symbol next to the sell icon does.
A little bit to understand at the beginning but it's a good Tycoon :). During I type this, I continue to play : I want the Technology ! Nice work :)
Really hard to get into and very confusing at first but it's okay after a while, even pretty easy, but I'd like to see a more varied gameplay as the game pretty much is in the background atm farming gold
Concept is good, but the game is not that fun. It becomes boring after some game minutes.
This is almost similar to stock market simulator to me.
I am ashamed to admit how long I played this. I like large numbers. I fear I would have played it longer, were it infinite in length.
That said, the game is pretty basic and doesn't look to great.
Selling things gets a little tedious. Maybe a "sell all" button would have been nice. Took a bit to figure out what to do but it fell into place when I did. There doesn't seem to be any reason not to mine gold and only gold.
Oh - found out the sell all feature is holding down right click. Not the most obvious thing in the world!
