SIM: Simple Idle Miner

About

SIM: Simple Idle Miner is a point-and-click simulator where you collect resources to help a group of "important persons" escape a planet. You start by manually mining, then shift to automating tasks with upgrades that speed up production. The loop is straightforward: click to gather, spend coins on improvements, and watch your output grow. A fox named Bob keeps showing up to remind you not to procrastinate, adding a bit of pushy motivation to the grind. What sets this apart is its deadpan humor and the way it toys with idle game tropes. The fox’s repetitive pep talks and the vague threat of being “fired” for slacking give it a quirky edge. With a runtime of around five hours and minimal complexity, it’s a short, lighthearted break for anyone looking to automate their way out of a cosmic rock. Player reviews on Steam average 82% positive, praising the absurdity and the smooth progression curve.
