If you're having trouble, then jump as quickly as possible, it takes you to a new planet where it is easy to mine for loads of plasma and gems.

I am having a problem, in m game i cant keep the blue green and red material, neither that one needed to jump, when i go to upgrade menu its vales apear in "0" any idea?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'm about to drop down a star as well--during the last three hours I played, I advanced maybe 23 feet or so in the diamond zone. I came to the forums thinking I'd missed a key purchase or was overlooking a strategy, but no--too many people are having this issue as well. :(

I was trying to reach the center of the green planet, until I realized that there is no deep limit in the game and I have done already all achievements. I was about to blame the programmer :-))))
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
As most of the lower tier "upgrades" games it gets exponentially grindy with the progression. Other than that it is a well thought game with some diversity which should be enough for a couple of hours entertainment.

Barriers are:
1. molten blocks (orange dots)
2. Lasers (You cannot destroy them, if you are in the laser thats fine)
3. Broodmothers (You can kill little bugs but not the big ones)
If you avoid all of them you made it, hope it helps

oooohhh, so every tech that is not capped at 100% is infinite? that, I DO like, a lot. Back to 4/5 but do fix the missing lost msg thing, please

i can't even read my speed since it jumps up and down pretty fast. make it display an average value of the last 5-6 frames/physic cycles or something like that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so much lagging in red planet, my speed is randomly jumping from 0.0 to 13~all the time. and 10 sec in real life equals 3 sec in game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Not having vision for the first few seconds, and having barriers spawn a few blocks away from the entry-point is dumb. I shouldn't have to constantly restart to get an achievement because I literally can't avoid a barrier.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Verce No,I think @Terkal Idle until you reach the red area, use all turbo if you have (no if your doing that achievement), Focus on thermal resistance instead. Works for me. @Bramb0ra Those rocks in the way/metal blocks/fireball-looking things Lel.

Even with the last hull with full life, and the lava drill with full life, I can reach the core... It seems there's a problem...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Maybe allow for some stray plasma before reaching the core here and there? Since in order to upgrade with plasma means reaching the core, and doing that is such a random chance and grind it gets frustrating to know those parts won't be viable for a long time. Could also mae the bonuses for each level of plasma upgradable parts larger; you don't need to increase the overall bonus for max upgrade, but make each step give more. Turbo boost feels useless for pretty much anything due to how short the bursts are. And as has been said before too many obstacles; I always seem to have a wall of rocks appear when I get a speed boost. I enjoy mining games so this is still fun, but it has these few snags that are keeping it from being extremely fun.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so this game is broken for certain players... black screen after clicking Play or play muted.. can't even rate it this way..

I finally got the candy drill, and yes it is unnecessarily difficult to max it with even more grind m I 've uploaded a picture of it so you don't have to unlock it if you just need to see it before stop playing this game http://oi67.tinypic.com/200tm6w.jpg
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I am at day 348 and cannot reach the core.
I have fully upgraded every equipment item in the game, including the achievement-unlockable Candy drill, and cannot make it to the core. Once I get to 1000m or so it starts to lag so perhaps that is hurting my ability to finish (even on lowest quality settings). I've made it to 1322m. I've even tried a few different combinations different from the most expensive item of each type to see if "downgrading" to a perhaps more strategical choice made a difference, but it didn't help.
My 1322m run was on the most expensive equipment, steering to avoid all but one red-layer rock, and delayed boosting until red layer to maximize the cooling effect from turbo 4. The run ended on no health, though I had enough energy to get probably two more boosts. Still, this looks really far from the bottom.

" “Hard mode” achievement removed for now."
Oh drat. So what have I been working towards this whole time and why havent I bought the turbo yet?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Does the No Barriers 500m on Red Planet acheivement mean not hitting just the yellow blocks or do I have to not hit the bug spawners, lasers, and mines too?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It really sucks having TWO limiting factors to how far you can drill. I think health should not decrease for normal ground blocks.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good game BUT the colored gemstone collection artificially lengthens the game more than is necessary. The gemstones make the game excessively grindy. 4/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I've drilled down to the core three times without using a turbo, and still not getting the hardcore achievement, is there something I'm missing?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
"Get 100 plasma!" isn't much of a "hint", when it's a chore to grind to get there. It's a long long grind before you even see any plasma.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I just found out that if you jump before getting the last lost message, you can never get it. Rating down from 5 to 3/5 until that is fixed. Otherwise, I love the game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Alright. I don't mind the grind, I got the MANIAC achievement before it was removed. Now I just can't get Powerful Red. I'm maxed out. Turbo needs a boost, or I need more luck. Will explain in another comment why will I downvote this from 5/5 to 3/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Fully upgraded everything and I can't get to 500m in 30 sec in RED. Am I just unlucky? Using best engine, fast hull, best turbo, maxed, best battery and power component. My best was 470 and 31 seconds but I always run out of energy bc of the boosts
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Laser turrets that can shoot through granite, laser beam gets stuck on you doing consistent damage, mines that can hit you from 4-5 squares of away but destroys one block.... Yowut?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
BTW barriers are anything from little rocks to the small yellow orange lava looking things. Solid square grey blocks included.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A heads up that this was in beta would be nice... Right now the easiest and most effective strategy is "Stack durability and go straight down" The minor health you loose from hitting blocks is worth it when considering the depth lost by avoiding said block and as you've spent more time developing useless stuff like thermo damage protection (It's basically extra health that only gets taken down with certain damage and only blocks certain damage making it effectively useless to stack) Rather than the more useful resistance or conversion ability's ultimately it becomes nothing but a bad grind fest to the point where it isn't even fun to play to waste time.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't know where the comment about 100 plasma for reaching the core came about: you get 10. Then you have to dive the core dozens of times hoping for a handful each time, because it is in very short supply. Even if you're not nearly dead when you get there, it dissolves your drill like it was made of cotton candy.
