The Mini Game

Clicking on "Research:" or your point total on the upgrade screen will start or stop a mini-game where you can earn research points. This is a feature for people who "just need a little" points for that upgrade they want, but don't want to play a level.

A timer will appear and count down for one minute. You have that much time to motivate your scientists into working harder.

The points available are based both on your progress in the game, but also your "supervisor level." You gain levels as a supervisor the more you play the mini-game.

 

Several secrets are available from the mini-game (assuming the requirements are met), but they can be hard to hit.
