The game could be fun but what I am meant to do is poorly shown and what I meant to do is also unclear what buttons to click and what not. Overall add a bit more polish and maybe a ui telling the player whats up and it would be a fun mobile experience or something.
After figuring things out, this was a neat little game. I think some additional hand holding to understand what you're meant to be losing, or, more importantly, exactly why you died would be helpful in capturing a wider audience. That said, I made it to the core on my second run.
PROTIP: alternate science and shield upgrades, starting with science. science always powered, drill always powered, shield when temp is too high (means you should upgrade shield soon), otherwise be ready with the laser. If you feel like you don't need shield upgrades for a bit, I was doing resource to get some heals because lasering the targets was really hard.
Nice game I would love to see a meter of how much there is left and how the object collision mechanic to be utilized a bit more I didn't have to upgrade it at all
Banger music and a very interesting concept. Instant click when I saw the FTL- like rooms and upgrades.
I think a little tutorialization or additional UI elements would've been helpful. It's not abundantly clear what each section of the drill does and when to activate it.

Nice little management game, and well made Grafics and Texturing, also the different inpakts of the drill in the different layers. nice done.

fun, i think graphics music and theme were awesome. I wish there was a bit more of an explainer on the management process, just a 2-3 step image tutorial would have been good. It wasn't clear to me when i was fixing or upgrading something when i had multiple "Greens"
