Nicely done, the game works perfectly, short but fun to play.
I just think it need more description on the building, that's very complecated to understand which does what.
Good work overall :wink:
I "lost" because I had no money, while I was producing some money, so it was kinda confusing.
So next game I full on bank on money and only build goods later.
Which I could do without resistance.
The concept is pleasant and I would keep-on playing if there was new and new stuff.
I liked the idea of placing ground tiles, maybe adjacency rules could be a nice addition in the future.
I guess one of your reference title is Factorio, if it isn't then go play it immediately! :-)
It just the gameplay weird, especially with the money and how you lose when you can't afford any new buildings. But, from what I saw, there wasn't any limits to how long you can just keep the game running and stack up on money, making it pretty pointless.
The placement is nice and smooth. The tooltips were very helpful, and I appreciated the optional tutorial.
It's cute, but needs goals. Maybe after producing 1000 Goods the Power Plants in the random rotation get replaced by Giga Plants. Maybe you get an achievement for producing 1000 Goods under 5 minutes.
The Factory are boosted by adjacent drillers, but there are no drillers? Should it say Miners?
