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!

SO FREAKING GLORGY
i learned the essence of trickle down gloronomics and it was beautiful
This piece of s.h.i.t. does not lock to the vsync nor does it have a frame limiter so it burns at 900 FPS, wastes energy, creates heat, and makes the fans make too much noise. Also there is no way to exit the game except by clicking on the STOP button in Steam.
Cool, would love to see more
Short and to the point with a fair bit of social commentary. Great student project, looking forward to more of the kind of weird these folks manifest in the future.
Absolutely fantastic game. The humor is on point. It's exceedingly charming and snappy.
ce jeu a changé ma perception de la vie. Je ne pense plus qu'a une chose depuis que j'ai finis ce chef d'œuvre et cette chose c'est le micro plastique dans mon engin. je vais sur le champ laisser un avis positif et aller faire une vasectomie merci pour cette experience hors du commun
A short but fun game. wish there was more
Love it wish it was longer or that there was more levels or an endless mode. very cute short game
