Quite fun to build up your big connected machine, frustrating how slowly you move once you get like 2 nodes attached and onwards, overal a good game

Ooooh so that is why sometimes it felt like I lost at random, it's just an unknown number between 18 and 24?
It does feel like a bit of a crapshoot then when you don't know what the number is, like technically it is a risk management game then but you can't really calculate or estimate risk or chances properly when you don't know what you are aiming for. I'm not sure that I'm a fan of that particular mechanic, though I guess it does certainly make the game a lot more risky. That definitely seems like something that should be more explicitely stated in the game yes,
This one took me a bit to understand, having a better tutorial would be quite nice, but it was fun once I got it!
For other people: The game is pretty much just Blackjack. You want to either get a higher evaluation than the market leader (basically the dealer), while staying under 21M, and if they go over 21 you also win the round. Seed money is your bet, funding means drawing another card, and risking it I think is Double Down?
The game would be a lot clearer if it was more transparent about what it is, but the presentation makes it pretty fun :D
Controls pretty well, and the level's design is pretty varied and fun, I quite like this :3. Despite what other commenters are saying I didn't find it difficult at all.
The camera could be better, it's not a big problem on this single level for the most part but I do wish it was more zoomed out and better showed what was ahead above you. Overall pretty good job for so little time :D

Thank you so much! :D
My personal best is 51, so that's a really good score yeah :)
When the judging is over for the Brackeys jam, we're gonna make an update to finish up some stuff that we didn't manage to do before the deadline (mainly visuals, and also some of the swag items may or may not be uhm... non-functional at the moment :P)
Really cool game! I really dig (he he) the vibes, reminds me so much of Motherlode and other classic flash games :D
I was a bit confused at first, especially since it isn't very clear that you can mine the blue minerals but not the red ones, but once I got that I enjoyed the twist that the one-button gameplay offered to what would normally be a fairly simple obstacle dodging game, as you have to keep in mind which direction your vehicle is currently going to move towards next, and time your lane switches accordingly.
One thing that feels a bit odd is the fact that you only consume fuel when digging a mineral, but I imagine that having it always ticking down could lead to frustrating RNG.
Either way, it's a really well done game ^-^
Thank you so much! :D
I appreciate it ^-^. I did want to add a bit more mechanically (I actually wanted to add a bug stock market as the secondary mechanic ;P), but ran out of time/energy. Having to please different sectors of your bug subjects would be a cool idea if I decide to expand this game, thank you for the suggestion :3
This game is way way more fun than I expected! It is hard to figure out, but it is also super fun to mess around in, making scuffed machines, and it really is the essence of "it's stupid but it works". It is very user-unfriendly, scuffed, and hard to play, but I enjoyed every second of it. Honestly my favourite game in the jam and I can't believe it
