You load sixteen tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt...

A strategic match 3 game about the life of a coal miner, made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 48.  Collect coal to fill your weekly quota and earn your wages, but be careful not to break too much equipment - you'll have to pay for it yourself.  Of course, the company store will let you purchase equipment on credit, but you can't afford to keep going deeper and deeper in debt forever.  How many weeks can you work before the interest becomes too much to handle and you end up in debtors' prison?

Suggested Listening

There's no in-game sound (sorry), but you're encouraged to listen to your preferred version of Sixteen Tons on repeat as you play.

what's even the point of working if you don't earn anything anyways?
