Miner Idle

## Mining Idle Game

**Hi — thanks for opening this page.** *Mining Idle Game* is a small **Godot 4** idle / incremental I’m making in the open: **crystals** spawn in the field, **miners** go out to work them, and you spend **gems** on upgrades to go faster. It’s still a **prototype**, so you might hit rough edges; that’s normal at this stage.

I **like talking with players** and I **genuinely want your feedback**: a bug, a number that feels wrong, a half-formed idea, or even “this was a nice 10-minute break” — it all helps me pick what to do next. **Leave a comment** on this itch page when you can; I read them and they steer updates. . If you follow devlogs, you’ll see bigger changes called out there — but the short questions and “this broke on my machine” lines in the comments matter just as much. Thanks for giving it a shot.

### How to play

- **Drag-select** (click–drag a rectangle) over ores to add them to a **shared work queue**. Miners claim the nearest queued ore.

- Miners also occasionally **slack off** (short idle) before digging on their own—buy upgrades to **shorten slack** (capped in-game).

- Open **Upgrades ▼** to buy **mining speed**, **hire miners**, **miner move speed**, and **slack reduction**. The menu stays open so you can buy multiple upgrades in a row; click **Upgrades** again to close.

### Notes

- Early prototype—balance and content will evolve.

- **Crits** on hits can multiply payout; ore types vary by color/value/HP.

### Feedback (quick reminder)

- Best place to reach me: **comments on this itch page** — I’m happy to chat, and I use those notes to plan fixes and features.

- If something’s confusing, unfair, or broken, **say so**; reproduction steps (browser/OS, what you clicked) are a huge help.
