looks nice considering that no graphics are required for the concept. other than that there seems to be little point to digging once you can explore to find gold unless diamonds can only be found on lower levels that you have to dig to.
Ha ha! Nice take on the theme - pity you didn't get up to the coal/gold upgrades, but I love the idea!
I love cookie clicker, so i like all kind of these games :D.
I'm going to get carpal tunnel from clicking so much!
This is an unusual genre of game to make, I'm glad to see someone doing something different like that.
With Cookie Clicker it pretty quickly became unimportant to click anything anymore because your factories were doing all the work for you -- it would be nice to get more of that feedback loop going on. Maybe there's more of that in the post-LD48 version?

I do like this type of game, but it's not very innovative...If you add more features in the post-comp version I might give it another look. I definitely like the "graphics" and interface, even if it IS just CSS and such!

Nice little entry, left it open by accident and wehn I came back I had $5,000! Gets pretty expensive pretty fast though
I couldn't seem to find any gold.. maybe my patience is too low :/
I love clicker games. Lost a couple of days of my life to cookie clicker, and i don't regret it.

I love this genre, thanks for creating this game!
And don't mind the graphics, I think it's pretty great for a game like this.
Very smart mining :)
Nice take on the theme. Well rounded game and it looks nice, but would've been nice to see some representation of the workforce.
I like those kind of games, and it's great that it saves my game. Bookmarked, will come back to it

Good game, but how deep do you need to get for diamonds? Because I was deep and still no diamonds. Also the balance of things needs to be tweaked.
