It perfectly captures the feeling of remote capitalism labor: you don’t see anyone, but somehow, they’re all working... The loop becames a shared burden -- invisble, silent and collective.

The mechancs are tight, the atmosphere is minimalst but effective, and the concept is Pure brilliance. It’s rare to see multiplayer handled this subtely in jam game.

One suggstion: adding the abilty to place emojis or 👍/🫰 on flags would realy enhance the sense of presence -- this feeling becomes key in the "Collective loop", as does the hope for an invisible comrade.

One small issue: during my longest loop, the "buy time" feature stoped working in the final 10 seconds. I couldn’t extend, and everythng collapsed.

STARTING THE RECORD

As a miner of the proud Loop #216 ! I tried my best to get to the mega drill. An hard task you might say ? And you're right, with my fellow other miners. We try, we try so hard to maintain the integrity of the loop, buying more time... But, it was inevitable ! I get as much as i can of this green ore. Not enough, not enough... Only i can get at my maximum was 1000 of them. I was so close then so far of this mighty mega drill !!!

END OF RECORD
(I loved very much your game, i think i play like 2-3h. I didn't feel time passing when playing it. Its very cool and you have a huge idea for a commercial video game ! I kept all of my green ore, but i don't have the patience and energy to grind again the ore to get the mega drill and see the end of the game !)

This is the best metaphor for capitalism I have seen in a while!

I was one of the pioneers of loop #208 (going by Grufus) and due to my early exploitation of resources I gained such an advantage that newcomers had no chance to catch up. Time stopped being an issue when I routed a percentage of my resources into the vending machines and from that point onward it was just a grind to get the Mega Drill.

Really enjoyed my time in this game, truly amazing work!

Interesting

Well polished

I even spent a lot of time on this game and I only thought a little time had passed XD

Just some bugs, it becomes transparent here.

Loop #199 here
Amazing game O:

I really enjoyed the game and the core concept. great idea! It took me a while to understand the multiplayer mechanics, but once I did, I jumped in with some friends and had a great time. I'm currently on Loop #199, and my only critique is the price disparity for the Mega Drill. Up to that point, I was completely immersed; time flew by, and it's easily the game I've spent the most hours on out of all the ones I've tried, also one of my favorites. However, the wait for the Mega Drill broke the momentum for me.

Edit: Reached the end! just in time, with only 1 min left on the loop

Well, I am in loop #199 (infinite time reached) and automated every ore in the map, now waiting to buy the last drill haha, I really enjoy any game with conveyor belts and this one is no exception, hard to believe this was made in a jam, my favorite so far. (maybe could have drop the last drill's price a bit haha)
