played it first earnestly and got about a minute in before I realized you could cheese it by quick-clicking and never building anything. If this is not an intended aspect of play, maybe include a secondary tier of materials that can only be generated using buildings. Like x ore + y wisp = refinery (1 ingot / sec) and x ingots + y ore + z wisp = grav field.

Short little clicker game. I am sure there are optimisation options but pretty easy.

One thing I loved (and took a bit to notice) was the art change as you build stuff on the comet. That was a really nice touch and looked great!

@parker-nalch, I did realize that you could potentially just click until you got enough resources. I thought that maybe it was impossible to click fast enough, but I didn't have time to test that theory. Having a third resource type is a good idea. I might build a second version of the game sometime and include that.

Fairly easy game, I like the art and how it changed as you build upon the comet. Nicely done.
