Very cute graphics and nice music! Gameplay is simple, but since you kept it short, it doesn't wear out its welcome. nice job!
Cute! The music and art made the game feel super comfy, and I loved the fake scanlines. Using the same bar for the ship's antenna progress and the mineral's health is fantastic UX design, and I like how the game lets you keep playing after you win.
I thought it was strange that you couldn't spam-buy the mining robos, but once the rate in which I was gaining minerals surpassed the rate in which I could pay for robos, it felt very satisfying. Great job!
Nice little clicker game, reminds me a lot of Gnorp Analogue with all the dudes throwing themselves at the rock. Good job :)

fun take on the theme! cute graphics, nice job!
Solid incremental/clicker game! Nice job!
Simple, cute and understandable. That is all we need!
Hey! We made a game called "Robo phone home". Very different genre though :)
cute little clicker game! love the pink
Very comfy! Both sound-design and art-direction really click (lol)!
I found the art style and the soundscape relaxing.
I may be too much of a min-maxer, but I found the robots to be a hindrance. The robots are fairly slow at mining and the time that it takes you to buy a robot and for it to get to mining, you could have mined significantly more if you had just kept on manually mining. For a game as short as this, I don't think the robots are actually worth buying, unless you (the player) plans on stepping away from the game.
Awesome clicker. Very fan of the art style and it's very relaxing to look at !
Not the biggest fan of clickers as a gameplay mechanic, but it was a cute polished take on it. The music was nice and chill, kept me clicking till I completed my mission. If I was going to critscise I might say, maybe a bit of variation in where you have to click would help the gameplay a bit... like if the resource re-spawned in different locations or something :shrug:. Also the robots felt a bit underpowered, had to do most of the work mmyself :) . Nice
jinx! You definitely have us beat with your moody artstyle. I have to agree that maybe the robots could be a little faster when max upgraded. Amazing how two minds with the same idea can come to such different implementations. Nice work!
It's a nice little clicker game. :)
:) Love a good clicker. Cute bots, nice pixels! This was fun, thanks!
I love how you lose minerals for "mining" the astronaut -- that was a great touch! Very cool game, but got a little repetitive by the end. It felt very factorio-like in principle, and especially with a couple extra abilities it could become a super automation game.
EDIT: Wait I'm so silly that's how you build the antenna. Nice -- that explains why nothing happened when I hit 500!
