There's a core of a reasonable incremental game here, marred by two significant problems. 1. The game appears to be too simple. Perhaps there's some further depth to it, but I wasn't able to find it in nearly 3h30m of gameplay. Mechanically speaking, there's not a whole lot to strategise. 2. The controls and UI are.. well, they're pretty bad. After the very early game of each planet, your efficiency is based on how quickly you can wangle your mouse around, rather than your upgrades. Managing your upgrades and such in the overworld/hub area is awkward, with the menus being automatically opened and closed based on proximity to their.. building? Thing? This means that walking past the different utilities at your disposal makes you lose sight of your character. These menus also hide important UI elements, like the money you have to spend in the shop that's open. The solution to the UI and control problems is fairly trivial, but the game mechanic issues may require a significant overhaul...

About This Game
When mining, you earn a currency called tokens and the blocks you mine are stored in your "backpack". Tokens can be used to upgrade your pickaxe in lots of different ways. The upgrades vary from increasing your pickaxe damage, your mine speed, the tokens and money you get, as well as various "procc" (programmed random occurrence) upgrades, for example; "Slammer", "Nuker", "Key finder", "Token bag" and more.
The blocks stored in your backpack can be sold for in game money, which is used to unlock new mines with better blocks in them. The money can also be used to upgrade your offline "Token generator", buy pickaxe skins and eventually, unlock whole new planets.
Planets can be travelled between with money (lots of it). You start on earth and from there you can unlock the moon (I know, technically not a planet). Which has much more valuable blocks, from the moon you can go to the next planet.
The game currently has 5 different planets with different scenery, economy scale and dungeons.
The dungeon is an alternative way of playing the game. After you unlock the dungeon (for money and tokens), instead of mining in a squared generated mined, you can then instead mine in a big cave area with ores scattered around the place. The ores in here are much more valuable and instead of being stored in your backpack, they will sometimes give you various item rewards when mines. Watch your steps though, because if you fall into any of the pits in the dungeon, everything you had gained in there will be lost. The dungeon the primary way of obtaining "spirit flasks", which can be used to receive a random "Spirit".
Spirits are equippable "buffs" you can use in the game. Each spirit is unique and will enhance certain aspects of the game (while sometimes nerfing others).
You can have 1 spirit equipped at a time and most spirits can be upgraded (by mining) for increased effects. The game has 25 different spirits ranging in 5 different rarity tiers. Spirits can be obtained by opening a spirit flask, which can be obtained in the dungeon, and from treasures.
Treasures are a great way to give you a little bonus when playing. Treasures can be opened with a matching key, which can be obtained in various ways. When opening a treasure, a key will be consumed, and you will receive a random reward from that treasure.
Generators can be used to earn passive income while playing, but also while offline. Each planet has a token generator and a money generator, which are upgraded with the opposite currency (money with tokens, and token with money). Upgrading your generator will increase it's capacity and the amount in generates per second. Generators can also be buffed by upgrading a certain mega upgrade with rebirth points.
The "Rebirth" system is a way to replay the game with a buff.
Once you have reached a certain "level" in the game and mined a certain amount of blocks, you can rebirth.
Rebirthing will reset most of your stats (except for spirits and unlocked planets) but will give you a 10% money & token income boost as well as 1 rebirth point (RP) which you use to buy permanent mega upgrades. These upgrades are very different to the normal upgrades but are much more powerful.
On top of all these features. Haste-Miner 2 has much more to explore and try out.

Too simple. You biy upgrades, you press left click and you swipe the mouse over blocks. From time to time you sell blocks, buy upgrades and go to the next mine. The incremental gameplay loop is non existent. After a few upgrade in the first 2 minutes you already farm very fast, only limited by how fast you can move your mouse hand around to hit the blocks. Too cumbersome, not very rewarding, boring quickly.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I haven't yet gotten to other planets or the reset mechanic but so far it's almost better to literally AFK in town and let the two currency generators do their duty for a couple hours. Spam some upgrades, rinse repeat. The actual block mining is more "do some of that if you want to". Also the town UI is rough. Sometimes buying multiple upgrades when I just click once, like it has some sensitivity issues. Not too much of a problem when you're flooded with resources but early on it was pretty annoying. It's... okay. Serviceable. I want to hit the other planets to see if the scenery changes but not sure I'll be on this one for the long haul or not.
Its a very nice game to just sit back and relax play some music on spotify and just game very enjoyable
It's ok. The game is exactly what I've expected, nothing more, nothing less. The last three achievements are just stupid.
Fun simple game, very addictive and well worth the price! Bugs: Noticed the math of the grounded spirits negative jump multiplier seems off: upgraded jump height: about 5 blocks equipping "grounded" spirit with -60% jump height: wont even let you jump 1 block. Trillionare achievement seems broken? i have gotten thousands of trillions, currently have "11aa" and havent gotten it. Suggestions: latest update made planets a tad bit too cheap, 10Q for Earth z is too much, 1T ( 10000 times cheaper ) is way too cheap! a way to use several items at a time would be nice, if i have a stack of 700 tokens, you now have to click 700 times. maybe shift click for 100 at a time? at least for tokens! the mine blocks achivements seem incredibly steep, would take around 1500 hours for the 10 million one so i suggest reducing the two highest, to something "reasonable" around 75 and 150 hours ( which for this type of small game feels more reasonable ): 1 block --- humble beginnings 10 000 blocks --- ...
