About
Clock in to the most absurd contract shift of your life in Glorgo’s Microplastics Mine, a brilliant Y2k-themed, eccentric incremental resource manager that rattles the senses while you’re tasked with overseeing the small but mighty workforce under you who are sent into the alien mines to retrieve the precious microplastics your scheming boss desires.
Keep your wits about you as you dig further into the quarry, discovering not only more valuable minerals over time, but also the monsters that lurk within the depths in droves. Hire more of your delightfully expendable miners to harvest more microplastics, increase your operation with upgrades that help you meet your quarterly goals, and defeat the horrors that threaten to ruin your workflow. Watch as your miners grow, change and mutate before your very eyes during their exposure to the microplastics they’re surrounded by in both humorous and uniquely grotesque ways that make one ask the question of when is enough enough?
Or, well, that can wait until the next fiscal year at least. You’ve got a job to do, and there’s always more where they came from. Get to digging!

Fun, but felt a little too short. The pacing was so fast that I didn't even have time to buy all the upgrades before the game ended.
I hope it wasn't malware that will blow up my PC in half a year. Peelastic
Very fun, very cute! Wish it was longer!

Very fun, excellent artwork and music and simple, yet engaging gameplay. Could use a longer game mode though.
too short but free so good i guess 6/10
Very short but cool game about plastic!
I have microplastics in my balls <3
Quite a fun quick game! Finished the whole thing in about 20 minutes. There are a couple small glitches but its still an enjoyable half hour. Would love to see an endless mode in the future!
Worth the price
