MINERSIM
A downloadable game for Windows
Made for Minijam #100
=== Description
You control a mining robot. The gameplay is based on iterations - periodically every N seconds the iteration brings random resources to the inventory.
The iteration time depends on the amount of items in the inventory (and upgrades, see the upgrades section). Each item has a weight and the more overall weight of the inventory, the longer iterations will be.
The mining robot has a fuel tank. Fuel periodically spent to maintain its functionality and must be renewed with certain refueling resources (Coal and Uranus at the moment). Also fuel tank corrupts as the time passes, so the fuel consumption becomes larger.
If the fuel reaches zero the robot stops functioning and the game ends. As you play, you will meet merchants who you can sell the accumulated resources / buy upgrades or fuel for the robot.
The goal of the game is to earn 1 000 000 Δ (in-game currency) before you run out of fuel.
=== Controls/Shortcuts
D - quick drop selected items from inventory menu
F - quick refuel
A - select all items in the inventory
Ctrl - deselect all items in the inventory and equipment section
E (may be some minor bugs) - When items in inventory selected move equipabble items from inventory to equipment menu, when items in the equipment section selected deequip items
Alt - show/hide information about the cost/weight of the one item from the stack
=== Upgrades
There are two types of upgrades avaible for purchase at the current time: mining boosters and mining modules.
Mining boosters decrease the time of iterations and the mining modules allow the mining robot go deeper and collect more various resources.
