The game is either too long or doesn't have enough to do. Either way after about day 60 or 70 its just grinding, grinding, grinding. I had every single upgrade by the time the second page of buildings was unlocked and I felt like the point of the game was lost on me at that point.
If you had cut the time this game took in half I honestly think I would have been closer to giving it 5 stars. But who wants to just keep doing the exact same thing over and over for another two or three hours?
best game on newgrounds! (so far) this is also the best of 2012!
Nice one. Had a lot of fun with this one.
Excellent concept. however i think there should be some use to the boom town population IE hiring on truck drivers for npc gatherers to gather your minerals or something, perhaps an option to put some mines on a gold spot for a slower residual gold, also employing population.
Biggest complaints: Too often do the gold deposits near the edges of the screen shoot large chunks of gold ore, items, gems, etc, off the edges of the screen. By the time i had all my upgrades maxed out and had purchased the second lot, I had nothing to do but mine gold and wait for the new town buildings to unlock.
Personal two cents: i think it's a good basis for an excellent game, but instead of collecting the gold from the blasts, i think the blasts should open up the ground so you can build mines. And the mines producing ore to be picked up and dropped off at the depots. Of course that would alter the gameplay dramatically and it of course isn't the original intended vision of your game. then again, that's why this portion is labled "personal two cents", as it's just my own opinion.
awsome man but map needs to be biger and needs to be able to go under ground
