Description
Retro Resources puts you into the action as the Harvester, collecting fast-disappearing resources on a hostile planet. Fill up on precious cargo, but keep your eye on the market - some resources are worth more than others! Bring your haul back to base, then upgrade your Harvester to bring in even more.
INSTRUCTIONS
Arrow Keys Move
You'll need to powerup your Harvester regularly to bring in the big loads.
Tips & Tricks
Don't just pick up resources willy-nilly - keep your eye on the market board that shows prices, and go for the big-ticket items first. Remember: the market changes, too, so make sure the upcoming price is high for anything far away from home base.
How to Play
Arrow Keys = Move
You'll need to powerup your Harvester regularly to bring in the big loads.

A fun game. A funner game than one with such a basic design. I like looking for minerals, finding a big patch and then collecting them. Especially fun to see a high price and then rush to a patch of it. For the next game you should make the minerals more distinct visually, and put their new worth inside of their symbol, that way we can tell the price more easily, because it was often hard to look at the values and quickly determine what I should go for.
There also need to be icons for the turrets because I kept bumping in to them. I like the danger from the turrets, maybe next time include roaming bulls that appear on the radar, have more enemies next to bigger deposits. Give us a non-lethal weapon system. Have distinct ground, like ice, grass, dirt, cooled down lava, etc even if it doesn't have a gameplay impact.
Again, great game.

I really like the concept but I think you can work out the gameplay a bit more

if you are planning on updating/remaking the game you might want to improve these points ->
---how about moving/multiple kinds of enemies?
---an option to hold on to gems to sell them later for a higher price ?
---multiple difficulties ?
---a mountable gun to fight the enemies?
---more missions?
---ingame mission updates?
thats about it for now

i dont know how is this "strategy/defense" but i like games of that type (mining, harvesting, foraging, trade, upgrade and shit)
