the agile red achievement is so unclear.. dont hit a "barrier"? Dont hit a "laser gun"? is that the laser or the thing that shoots the laser? And the bug nest just means the nest? or also the bugs?

Still somewhat grindy, but it's the nature of this type of game. I would have liked better explanation on what the different required gems do and how they're acquired. Googling this game you can see most of the discussion is on how/what things do because lack of help. Instead it should be discussion on different strategies and builds...

besides this slow progress, THESE OBSTACLES!! WHAT ARE LASER TOWERS DOING IN THE EARTHS CRUST??? WHAT ARE MINES DOING THERE? THE GIANT BUGS????? jesus, its like they thought "hey lets throw as many FU's as possible when they get to a new layer"

grind /ɡrīnd/ verb. To perform repetitive, mind-numbing tasks over and over in order to eventually reach a reward. Examples: 1. "I had to grind through that long-distance gravel race!" 2. In order to beat the boss, James had to grind for xp on pointless side quests. 3. This game.

make it so all the "accessories" are around 10-20% of what the capacities of the available gear are, maybe. the radar, agility, and power booster are about right imo, but the extra fuel is underwhelming to say the least, maybe give it some more upgrades and weaker start, Haven't gotten the last one just yet so dunno about its effect, kinda hope it might be an omni/engine boost or turbo since don't ahve a turbo acc yet.

What the point of even having controls on a game when they're completely ignored for ~10 seconds at a time completely at random? If you do it in an attempt to piss off the players and frustrate them to no end, well... mission accomplished, at least when it comes to this player. Fake difficulty = automatic 1/5.

It's a shame, b/c this has potential to be a REALLY good game, I gave htis 2 stars b/c it was THAT bad a grind. I would happily give this 4 or 5 stars if that was fixed.

Costs in blocks need to be halved. The grind in this game is STILL awful. The real problem is that it takes a whole day of drilling to upgrade one box... but when you buy a new drill/battery/etc you are only getting better MAX stats, so you actually have to spend DAYS of money upgrading it back to the point your old component was at.

The way the game works is that I leave it running in a browser and keep hitting LAUNCH. I am on day 550 at I am only at 1180 feet.However on the rounds where I don't go auto-pilot, or auto-down, I do well. It's fun, but it will take you a month to hit the core.

This gets so boring after a while. Im at day 61 and the deepest ive gotten is only 592 meters, and its so repeatitive.

The effin Bug Boss at 800 depth is insane cause it surround you with 3 to 6 bugs spitting out it's mouth per second. This mad me rage quit!

The game is too long. Most likely that's the case because Gems are too rare. I've only seen like 10 blue gems in total (most of which I couldn't get) and I'm on day 90.
Things should give more minerals and gems should be more frequent. It's just a game of unfun grind after a specific point.

First play for fun and combine equipment as you want.***
Later in game (nearly reaching the core):Follow QuestComm tips-Jan.9,2016***
Follow Vaan360 tips-Jan.15,2016.***
My grind tips: equip all lvl 5 equipment and take agility booster. RED planet - drive and aim for blueish technology to grind as much as possible in single run.*** GREEN planet->go fast straight down to depth of 500 m,and the turn the miner to as parallel to the screen it can turn),and let it slowly grind through the ground till 800 m,no need to avoid anything.Hull can take a pounding for the max energy you own. Ground itself gives you more material blocks then material blocks itself if you are having a bad run. This way you can earn from 20000-40000 materials in a single run. WARNING: hitting the core ground will not give you any materials and not so much blueish equipment, so rather go to RED tip to grind blueish tech.***
This greatly reduces number of grind days for better equipment to get all the other achievements

Day 151: I have gotten all the parts for my drill, and it is the Candy drill. But, there's still more work to do here.

And that's taking into account using every speed increasing part fully upgraded and using the turbo from the word go.

I really dislike the Fast red achievement. It is extremely luck based. 15 blocks during the first 3 seconds? The first second is taken up just by getting to see the stuff around you! And then you have to be very lucky to get 15 material blocks in a big bunch together and reachable within the remaining 2 seconds (or, even luckier, right in front of you, no steering required)

Where do you get plasma from? Ive been playing for 100 days reached the core and have almost all the challenges , but still have never found even 1 plasma.
