The good:
- It's 5 bucks
- I got 2 hours out of it, so it's like streaming a movie.
- If I cared enough I could probably get another hour out of it looking at achievements or trying to dig out the whole yard.
- I respect the opportunism or business sense at work here -- they are working on a game called Solarpunk (quietly, classily advertised in game) and this was basically just a gamejam/techdemo kind of thing they built along the way. Smart to get some revenue out of it.

The bad:
- This should probably be a little less than 5 dollars. I mean -- it's 5 bucks, whatever. But big picture, it's a thin experience, and it's very short. But maybe it will end up being a huge seller for 99c during steam sales, who knows.
- I was hoping for a little more meat on the bone - The game shows you it's loop early, and it never really changes. But like, at one point you just find... an empty room. You can't do anything there, you can't add anything. It just exists. I was expecting a new console to open up in the workshop that led me do ANYTHING with the room, but nope it's just a room.
- The ending is silly, but this is a very light criticism because we're all here for the hole digging and progression, not the ending.

So in conclusion I was like 90% happy with this, 10% disapointed. If 5 dollars doesn't matter to you, this is a fun 2 hours. If your budget is tight and the amount of entertainment time you get out of a game matters to you? This can be finished in 2 hours (after which achievements activate) so take that into consideration.
