I liked having an Android version, the game feels very suited for touch screens. I think my main complaint would be that some of the mechanics are a little opaque and cause some frustration sometimes I would be getting big juicy planets to mine, but then I would only be getting crystals worth 5 or less. At times it felt that the game made me lose and I had no way to prevent it. The graphics, sound, and menus were a nice layer of polish. Well done to everyone involved!
Its really good spin on a clicker. I didnt expect that its going to be, even after reading "how to". Which is maybe something which could be changed? I think you dont have to be "ashamed" and just write into description that its a spin on a clicker.
Managed to mine 129. Cool and chill game.
Very nice, consistent, polished visuals. Gameplay is simple but fun, I feel like it could serve as a basis for a good commercial mobile game - some events and more types of resources would be interesting, I think. Overall, great job!
A basic but clear concept that could profit from some more varied actions for the player to take. The balance between purchase options and cookie-clicking the crystals made things feel a little stale after a while. When the player actions aren't enticing, you can still keep attention with a strong achievements/progression system.
The music is pretty atmospheric, but I wish you had some nice juicy sound effects to guide the player. The graphics are all scaled differently, which is a pet peeve of mine.
I don't mean to sound overly critical, I just think there's potential here to make this pretty interesting, but for that it needs a little more work. Good effort!
I loved the music, the game was very polished and nice to play, adherent to the theme as well. Good job!
This is a pretty cool idea of a clicker game, actually it gives the genre some meaning :D Thanks for making this! :D
I usually don't like clicker games, but there is something there are some interesting mechanics here. Well done and nice pixel art!
I am missing a little variety or an end goal here. The ground work is promising, but as of now this only keeps you playing for two minutes.
great idea. Once I worked out that I was trying to be as slow as possible I got some pretty decent scores. It's an interesting take on the genre and is very well presented.
This game keeps me engaged at all times! It's really well paced and well executed. Great job! There is no feedback I can give you now since this game is already very good. With a little more polish this game can easily be taken to the next level!

One of the best games I've played in the history of Ludum Dare. I couldn't stop playing, the addiciveness of the genre and how you adapted it really clicks with me. Great usage of the theme.
There are some things I'd like to give feedback on; - I'd love a warning sound when you're close to cloning, a few of my games ended very abruptly because I clicked a little too late - Not sure how to fix it but the optimal strategy in this game is to wait for as long as you can before sending out your drones. That's not fun. - How about a ship that collects all the minerals in an area, starting with collecting the small ones, as a means of clearing up the game area. It gets really crowded, I'm not going to waste any precious ships on those 1-9 minerals. - And, as with all games in this genre, you can just add more things to the shop to make it exponentially interesting. I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with the different strategies with only 3 early game upgrades.
However,
The game is amazing, it's a lot of fun, it's challenging. It's my first 5/5 this LD. You could definitely continue working on this (it's fine as it is, I'm going to go back to playing it after I've left my review)
Please feel free to have a look at our game; Paperwork, we still haven't recieved our 20 reviews yet!
Interesting game. I think it's too reliant on luck though; I had games where everything went smoothly and others where I died almost instantly because there was nothing to mine. I also think the ships reproduce way too fast. Good game overall!
Nice atmosphere, music is cool but game is really speed.
Good job
My score is 175, easy to play and love the graphic ^^
