Heck yeah! The style and tone of the game is super cool and that combined with the music definitely hits me right in the nostalgia. Everything is really cohesive, the music and art really compliment eachother well.
While I agree the gameplay gets a little repetitive I think that could potentially be remedied by tinkering with different mining / fuel rates. The concept is awesome and what you have here is a really cool foundation that you could certainly continue to build on with more planets, creatures and things to mine.
All in all, awesome job! 🙂
