First of all, the joke after you complete a run is peak comedy. I adore the decision to seemingly reward the player with some form of endgame content just for it to be that. I also loved the photograph jumpscares, and laughted a bit during the intimidation scene as I at first mistook what was happening as the old guy taking a few dozen pictures in the span of a few seconds, just so he doesn't miss anything. that being said the game does have its issues. The first thing to complain about is that the workers do not start mining as soon as possible, instead operating on a fixed interval which aligns with the time it takes to finish mining. As a result of this, when you first get a worker, it seems they do nothing for a few seconds. If, in response to this, you manually start mining during that time, there timer will remain thrown off for the duration of the mining process. As a result of this I initially believed the workers to be much less efficient than they actually where. Another unintuitive thing was the presence of the speed upgrade prior to unlocking it. I feel its price should read as UNAVAILABLE, similar to how it reads SOLD OUT at level 10.
Spoilers on this last piece of criticism----
Who pulls the trigger of a gun they believe to be unloaded during intimidation? Worst case scenario you get to learn why the third commandment of firearm safety exists, and best case scenario everyone now knows that either your bluffing, or you want to kill them but are suffering technical difficulties, in which case the safest response on there end is to just jump you before you are able to get the firearm working. there is also a pause in the shooting after which it resumes, so even if you didn't know it was loaded at first, the second pulling of the trigger would have been with full awareness of the firearm being loaded. To avoid the confusion between the camera flash, and muzzle flash, you could also make the muzzle flash a warmer color, but its kinda funny not to be quite certain until its over, so IDK if this would even be an improvement.
