Played 5 hours in a row... Yes it does have good dopamine for autistic brains can confirm. I really like the mining and fighting core loop. I just wish there was more long term upgrades. Such as a the prestige mechanic to have more of a reason to do it. Such as adding a boss or some harder wave at the end. Just want some more reasons to play after completing the game as I really enjoyed it.

About This Game
Mining Survivors is an incremental game in which you mine resources whilst fending of swarms of enemies in a bullet-heaven environment.
You mine resources in short bursts, before either dying to enemies or fending them off long enough to escape with extra rewards.
You then return to the shop, where you spend your resources to upgrade your character and unlock new levels and areas to mine.

Like junk food, it's great for a bit until you rapidly become sick of it.
Fun game! (Performance Improvements) It would be great if you could improve the performance in the later stages. I have a few guesses what could be that performance intensive: When breaking rocks too many items are being generated. The UFOs are also dropping each chip individually. The game would probably run much smoother if there was a setting that lets you just clump them together or you make it the default. If you are at those infinite stages the magnet range is so large that it does not make a difference if those are clumped together or not, it is just an unnecessary amount of calculations. (Content Idea) Some content that gets unlocked after prestige. At the moment there is not really a need to prestige other than getting further in those infinite levels.
Decent gameplay. A fun little game to relax after a long day. Definitely worth the price.
It's... fine. There's perhaps 4 or 5 hours worth of gameplay in the main mode. It felt a little more repetitive than other 'survivors' clones and lacks the depth of some, but enjoyable enough to tab in and out of when doing other things. The pacing felt a bit off for me, you have to repeat the first level or two a few too many times to make any progress and the gameplay itself could have been a little faster at that point. Then by the time you feel like you're advancing at a decent pace, it ends. Hopefully they add more stuff but it's not early access or anything, so who knows. There is a prestige system to reset and start over but it doesn't unlock anything new and there's not much point to it, you just have to play the tedious bit of the game again. I tried three runs at the roguelike mode and died around the same point from bad RNG each time. By the nature of roguelikes it's hard to say if that's bad balance or just bad luck, I didn't feel particularly compelled to go back and fi...
It's shallow, it's ugly, it's basic, it costs as much as Brotato or Vampire Survivors, it feels more like an old free Flash game than a full game, but it's still fine for a few hours of entertainment.
This game could be SO AWESOME if it hadn't some really bad flaws. Before each run you have to choose a planet. Each planet has a level between 1 and 3. If you survive, you unlock the next level. HOWEVER, you can't just replay the same level again to grind some resources (which you have to do). You must die on level 3, so it puts you back to level 2. This is so annoying. Why did they do that? End game doesn't feel good and for some reason my high end PC only manages to get about 5 FPS when I use 4 or more Laser Weapons, so the game becomes unplayable in the end game.
For $4, absolutely worth 5 hours of your life! After you beat the game, the prestige system is cool, but ultimately worthless because the game comes to a 3 FPS crawl after one or two prestiges, so you can't really advance further anyway.
Simple mining game with two main game loops. The incremental part is pretty fun. Progression starts out slow but can be finished in one or two evenings. You'll die a lot, but that's how incrementals work. Try, die, gain permanent upgrades, try again. The roguelike mode is insanely hard. There are no permanent upgrades and once you die, you'll have to start over from scratch. Tried the first level (out of three) several times, but gave up. This part needs a balance tweak for sure.
Beat the game in around 3h, and after that, you can play endlessly with prestige. Pretty good for the money, the roguelike mode is not bad as well
