So you're saying I am just bad at the game haha! Thanks for the confirmation.

Not at all. I needed to make clearer that those glints in the rocks hint that they can be mined for ore. I updated the description in response to your comment. I do expect a certain level of curiosity from puzzle enjoyers, but thank you for playing whatever your preference there.
Those glints were not meant to be guarantees, only hints, but levels were too slow and numerous already, without sending you on wild goose chases. That and I ran out of time for better tutorialisation. Hence the scattering of GIF clips, which I thank you for prompting for.
It was only me playtesting. I really worried people would give up before finding ore, or upgrades. Ore locations can be learned. I was cursed by this, and the prospector area of effect was buffed hugely at the last minute. If you played 5 times, I couldn’t see how you wouldn’t luck out finding ore.
