DESCRIPTION
Control Planet Improver 2000 on its epic quest to terraform some bug-infested remote planet circling some forsaken star system somewhere out in a cruel and uncaring galaxy. Planet Improver's super-advanced text interface makes administrative tasks a breeze. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only planetary mining!
Control by pressing the highlighted keys, press R to restart the game, requires a recent browser - try to figure out the rest by yourself...

TECHNOLOGY USED
This game was made in HTML5/CSS/JS. I made all the assets myself for LD. Let me know if/when you run into bugs! Oh, and the user interface sound effects are all made by my mouth, so in case you're wondering why they sound like they do...
---
FIXES AND CHANGES
I should have done this weeks ago: fixed a bug that sometimes caused the Killbot option not to appear in the menu. Also, the R key now restarts the game from scratch if you're in an unwinnable situation.
A help screen and a message board have been added to the game post-LD.

HOW TO SKIP THE FIRST PART
While many people seem to enjoy the economic simulation that is the first act, it's apparently not for everyone. If you lose patience, just build 1x Extractor, 1x Furnace, and 1x Reactor on the best dig site you can find. This should be enough to get the machine parts that allow you to build a Killbot - enough to move on to the second act.
