Shafted

About

Shafted is a puzzle-strategy game where you manage a tiny alien mining outpost. Each turn-based session tasks you with placing buildings to maximize resource output while balancing contracts. You tweak layouts, adjust priorities, and watch your colony chug along. Miss a payment deadline and you lose. The challenge lies in squeezing efficiency from limited space and shifting demands. The game’s minimalist design hides sharp strategic depth. Sessions top ten minutes, making it easy to jump in and out. Players praise its clean interface and the way small changes ripple into big outcomes. A 2023 poll on strategy forums ranked it among the year’s most satisfying bite-sized planners. No fluff. Just grids, minerals, and tight decision loops.

Storyline

SHAFTED is a micro-mining simulator with an emphasis on letting you quickly build out your colony. Single rounds are fast and short. The alien clients swoop in to extract contract payments. Clear out those clients and call it a day.
