Primeworks

Primeworks is a top-down mining and automation game about lasers, colors and a little bit of math.

Aim a turret at a rock and it lights up. Add a second beam and the color changes. The total pressure on a rock decides its color, and only a colored rock can be harvested. Work out which beams make which color, then build a mine that does it for you.

• Mine with lasers. Every color has a recipe. Some are easy, some take real thought, and white is the hardest of all.
• Bend the light. Mirrors, splitters, prisms, combiners, dimmers and amplifiers bend, split, add and multiply your beams to hit the exact number you need.
• Automate. Pipe the yield through tubes into silos, and let the turrets work while you explore.
• Research. Spend your colors on new buildings, stronger turrets, longer range and better tools.
• Explore. Light beacons to push back the fog. Further out the rock gets richer, and altars wait to attune you to new colors.

Your game saves automatically.
