I liked the concept, I think even after reading the description it was hard to know what to do. I think a tutorial would go a long way, but here is what I could figure out on my own. The power generators did not seem to do anything on their own, I would have assumes that would increase my W/h. After buying a basic drill, I then had W/h, but I would also lose money per second. With the starting amount of money, I thought I would save and get a basic drill, but it seemed like that drill made money at the same exact rate that it cost to run it. So I restarted and bought the advanced miner, and that seemed to make a profit. I do think that most idle games have things you can do in the downtime, like clicking to increase your profits marginally, so I think that would help get the ball rolling. Another thing I noticed was that the menus had to be toggled off before another could be opened, which was a bit inconvenient.

I think it is a great foundation to build off.
