A downloadable game for Windows

This is a game prototype for "Infinite Growth". It's intended to become a scifi fusion of Factorio and Capitalism where the goal is to extract every last bit of resource from a planet and sell it on the intergalactic market for profit.

Controls: WSAD move the camera, Q for quests, B to place buildings, ESC to pause. Buildings require resources to build. You can buy them at the portal, or produce them yourself.

Currently I've implemented basic buildings (battery, panel, miner, warehouse, pump) and resources (acid, rock, sand, electricity).  Resources are represented by particles that move freely around the game area.

The game was originally made for the 4MB Game Jam.

So far this is one of my favorites as far as game design type stuff goes, I was actually pretty engaged with trying to figure out how everything works! Seeing that it’s only 51kb is also shocking to me.

The biggest place you can improve is to expand your description to make some stuff more evident. Do pumps need to be placed over acid? What do any of the buildings do or produce? How I increase quality to fulfill quest goals?

Overall though, this is the whole package. Small but still feels like a game, fun to play, title screen and music included; very well done!

Thank you! Yeah, I will definitely add some better indicators of what the buildings do.
