It's a good game but has some issues. 1: you CANNOT remove bridges/signs/ladders. Once placed you have to completely erase all your progress to get rid of just one. 2: M o v i n g. If you just dug down and need to get back up, you can use ladders! But it takes like 3 years to keep going to the menu just to place one, climb it and repeat 50 times. It is so annoying just to go back to the surface, and don't get me STARTED on going down already placed ladders.
Not bad, but not perfect. My only real complaint is the save game system. It doesn't seem to work like it should. When loading a save, I am placed randomly on the map instead of where I was when saving. Everything I collected is lost and nothing I've spent (ladders, supports, etc) since last saving is returned to me. The auto save is not turned on by default once unlocked and saves at seemingly random times.
This have is perfect! I absolutely love it! To developer explained how I could get rid of the ads and this game is now absolutely perfect! I would love to see more of these games! Old Review: I'd pay $10 or $20 simply to have an ad free experience on this game. I don't mind watching ads to earn money but the amount of ads on here is frustrating. Only other change of I would suggest is to make it where you can touch where you want the Miner to go rather than rely on the odd & awkward controls.
The fact that there is a button on the map screen you can accidentally press and lose all your progress is ridiculous. I played for ages and then accidentally hit the bottom left "exit" button, and instead of having a pop-up saying something like "are you sure you want to quit?", the game just shuts down and you lose everything you've just done. A good way to make people not want to play again 👎🏼
This could be an ok game but has some significantly annoying design flaws. Foremost is that an ad shows when pausing and the map is on the pause menu. Second, limited or no autosave... and save is on the pause menu. Also, I can imagine getting easily stuck without proper ladder and support management. Animations are limited and, strangely, collision detection is not 100%. Honestly, his feels like an incomplete game. Put ladder and support beam buttons on the main display, rmv ad, add story.
Love it but the joystick is a little annoying and I hate that you can't pick up signs, ladders or support beams I've accidently hit the wrong item so many times and had to dig another way out because you can't put a ladder on a sign or a walkway. Besides these two issues I love it. It's really fun. Fix the issues to get 5 stars.
Great fun! I have two suggestions for features that would be very nice to have: 1) Have horizontal scroll bars for the map to complement the vertical ones. 2) Have an easy way to teleport back to the point in the mine that you teleported from to restock supplies. Thanks, and really a terrific game!
If it wasn't for the ads everytime you open the pause menu (and thus the map) this would be a playable title. Unfortunately they want it to be annoying so that you part with your $2.99. Devs mining your pockets :( I understand the necessary revenue from ads, how about just forcing them on us when we sell our stuff at the saloon? But every, godamn time you hit the pause button or want to look at the map!!!??? That's just trying to force us wonderful consumers to part with hard earned money.
I used to play this on my computer many years ago and it's exactly the same. Fun game. Way too many ads otherwise I'd give a 5. Needs a quick way to see the map. Also, it's froze twice already on an ad with no way to click out of it. Lost my progress.
Ad Spam! Earning cash is painfully slow, so a shortcut to watch an ad is offered. Want to check the map? Watch an ad. Want to save your game? Watch an ad. Want to go back to see a previous screen and hit the back button? Kicks you out of the app and you've lost all progress since your last manual save.
Wierd controls Very wierd controls, i have just played for a hour but i don't believe this game have good controls, to see map we need to pause the game, using items(ladders etc). Yes this game doesn't have many ads but they are in the place where it shouldn't be ( maps, saving game)You ruined user experience just for money.
I played for about 10 minutes and already uninstalled it. The lack of autosave is really unfortunate, especially given that accessing the menu requires having to load an ad--it makes you want to avoid saving, but then you'll randomly fall into a hole and there goes all your progress in one fell swoop. Music also gets grating really fast.
This game has the potential to be a great game. There are minor fixes needed, a tutorial to show how everything works, more of warning before your energy runs out. The game is very addictive with the potential to being more so. My biggest problem is I purchased the $9.50 (?) coin package, the money was taken from my bank but the coins weren't added to my game. I contacted the developers but so far no response.
This game is cool for a very short time. It gets dull quick. It feels very generic. I remember a different mining game where they had elevators and other cook gadgets. The teleporter doesnt work. It just takes you somewhere random. Not to the surface like it says. Game needs work. Not bad, not great. 3 Stars.
From the very start of the game you can buy a teleporter for 3000. Later on, for 10000 you can upgrade your tent to unlock something called teleport. I was thinking maybe this let you travel to a teleporter from your tent, but it actually just gives you instructions on how to acquire and use a teleporter you've been able to acquire and use the whole time. It's double-lame because without that ability getting to the bottom of the mine becomes so tedious that playing the game feels like a chore.
Its a fun little motherload clone, good dose of nostalgia. Everything else is bad. Music - repetitive 10s loop. Tons of game breaking bugs- disapearing ladders, teleporters, if area below surface is cleared you teleport into fall and die. If u saved after clearing some top layers - youre fkd. building requires to open inv everytime, why cant we just use last item with additional button? Upgrading tent is useless - autosave does not work and you can use tp anyway. Abandoned failed game i guess.
I just started to play this game and it is sooo addicting. The ads are placed nicely. My only tiny issue is that my mine changed when I saved the game. Also I don't like that it don't autosave BUT it might be a good thing. I just don't see it yet. So far the Pros out way the Cons. Great game.
Great game, some issues i found is that you cannot teleport down, it gets really annoying when y are 200 deep and you have to climb down for 2 minutes. And of course as mention here several times. you cannot remove anything you place.
This game could be brilliant. Stop the ads on the pause menu for a start and place them when you cash in your haul at the saloon after each mine. Also the pause menu doesn't let me resume my game so if I haven't already saved it, it starts me over at the title screen.......my phone nearly went through the window twice but I managed to calm the miner rage and decided to write this review instead. Please fix this as I said at the beginning, this game could be special!! (mike drop)
I like the game itself, but as other reviews have stated, the ads are obnoxious. That is why I paid the $2.99 for in game cash and for the game to be ad free. However, I never received my purchase and when emailing the developer, I didn't receive either a response nor my purchase. I am only leaving this review in hopes the developers will fix the issue. Maybe then I will fix my rating.
Fun game. But after your first restart, you cannot open the menu to save or check the map without watching an ad first. Absolutely no go. Uninstalling.
Basic mining game. The use of ladders is pretty cool, I didnt have to use a support before I lost interest. You have 10 spaces for inventory and from what I saw there was no upgrade for that, there was a light radius upgrade. Character could use a different animation for climbing instead of just walking in place. The fact that there is an ad everytime you open the menu is ridiculous. I would consider paying to remove them but there is not enough content for me to want to play.
