Definitely has a lot of potential. Wish there was more to it and the intro is annoying to watch every time. You should add a way to make money by selling oil and then using the money to upgrade machines and oil storage.

Really fun intro and really good music. I hope you continue this project

Fun intro but only wish I could skip it if I go back to the menu because it's kinda long to watch every time.  Interesting concept but confusing when I started the game up for the first time. And I wish that there was a goal to work to. Like for example an amount of oil to gather, and then you would go to the next level. So ill be grinding to get to the oil pumps until the go fast enough that I get enough oil to quickly go to the next level. Very nice, would you also check out our game?

Loved the intro! The music is very ‘sim city’ and it is a pro! But i had some problems to figure out what to do.

The important part was that i had fun and laugh hard with the last part of the audio.

Great job!

The start is a little slow but once you get around three oil sources down, you are set for the rest of the game. The story at the beginning plays when you go back to the main menu from the game. Besides that, overall a good game.

Please try my game if you got the time.

Nice foundation for a tycoon game but def needs more structures and resources. Also starts a little too slow. But still had fun filling the screen with drills lol

I do like milking them oil grounds, but the game is a bit simple and somehow feels incomplete -is there even a way to win? I thought my empire of over 1000 oils would be enough to overcome Dr. Evil McSuper Doctor, but alas nothing happened :o

Anyway, good job for a jam game - keep it up!  :)
