I actually rather liked this. Going around gathering resources would be a boring mechanic if that's all you were doing, but the upgrades and the encroaching collapse make it meaningful and nice. I thought your sounds were effective at communicating space and the impending danger. The planets were drawn well enough to explain to me what they were and what I might find there. I didn't manage to win, but I was working on the time jumper at the end when I just ran out of things to mine in what was left. It felt a bit like I could have done better though, not that it was unfair in any way. One nitpick: make sure there's a way to exit the game from inside the game. I had to Alt-F4 to get out!

Also, if you want to get enough ratings to see a score at the end, you should rate games yourself! Your game will float up the games list if you rate more games, and I totally believe that the game deserves ratings :)

I can't seem to collect resources from anywhere except the first planet I click. Subsequent clicks appear to do nothing. This is unfortunate, as the premise seems rather interesting, and I'd've liked to see how I'd fare. In addition, the UI is tiny on a 4K display, which requires the game be played at lower resolutions... though that's not a _massive_ drawback by itself.
