Overshoot

Dig too greedily. Then do it again.

Overshoot is a mining incremental about the collapse you cause on purpose. Overshoot means taking more than the system can hold until it falls over, which is exactly what you do to the mine before every reset.

You start with one quadrant, one mineral and a pickaxe. You end with three hundred workers who can't keep up with a mine that's worth more collapsed than running.

A mine you can actually see

Ore spawns across an isometric grid. Your workers walk to it, stand next to it, break it, fill their packs and haul it back to the cart. Nothing is an abstract number: if your people are wasting their lives walking, you can watch them do it.

Where things land matters

Adjacency auras make an ore worth more when it has neighbours, so the map is a layout problem and not just a counter.

Eight minerals, unlocked in two steps

Prospecting makes a mineral appear; equipment lets your crew mine it. In between, you mine it by hand, which is exactly as tedious as it should be, and exactly why you'll buy the equipment.

The mine fights back

Cave-ins, gas and floods bury a quadrant on a timer. Mother lodes and rich seams reward one. The bad ones only ever slow you down: they never take your workers or your land, and they always clear themselves, so leaving the game running is never punished.

Prestige is a decision, not a button

The bar fills with everything you've ever mined. Spending it opens a permanent skill tree: forty nodes across eight branches, and wipes the mine. Every reset makes the next point more expensive, so "one more run" has to be worth it.

Legacy saves you from repeating

Legacy is the branch that doesn't make you stronger. You restart with quadrants already bought and crews already hired, because the wall makes you reset and resetting made you redo the same ten minutes every time.

Also in this build

• Contracts with a countdown for short-term goals
• Twenty achievements, each adding a permanent bonus, so the list is a second progression running on its own
• Rare mutated ore with a coloured halo, worth a lucky hit
• A slot machine in the saloon. Tokens pile up while you break ore, three reels decide what they're worth, and the payout table scales with whatever you're producing right now
• Autosaves every 15 seconds and on exit. There is no save button: losing ten minutes because you didn't press something is unforgivable in an idle game

Controls: click ore to mine it, click dotted quadrants to buy them, click the prestige bar at the bottom when it's full. ESC opens options.

English and Spanish, switchable in Options at any time, the whole game, not just the menus.

This is a prototype. It's playable start to finish, some of the sound is placeholder, and the top four minerals are balanced by guesswork because nobody has reached them yet. Tell me where it breaks: feedback form.
