Pretty nice game. I don't remember another dig game this good since motherload, and that was a classic.
I wasn't a big fan or returning to the surface to recharge, since ending the day was just faster in game terms. But it was nice that the option was there.
The upgrades are really nice, I like that they are not just linear, and the special abilities are usually really worth it.
I was a bit frustrated at the end, though, since I could reach the lava and see (and try unsuccessfully to catch) the mushroom guy, but I had no information telling me that it was impossible (except failing, of course) or what I had to do to, since I was still far behind on the scanner (for the longest time I only cared that it was cheap to use, not about the special abilities or range). I figured it out on my own, but that slowed down the game artificially IMO, and was a bit frustrating.

The solar powered pack sounded great... Until you realize that the day ends automatically, and doesn't give you an opportunity to climb back up your tunnel...... Stupid

The developer really needs to know something. "It's" means "It is". "It's anatomy" doesn't work. You're looking for "Its". "It's over there". "Its anatomy".

GOOD: Satisfying controls, great animations, very satisfying 'feel', well programmed, no bugs BAD: Shallow gameplay, no challenge, repetitive/boring, no challenge to gameplay, simply a game up upgrades like those 'launch' games, ultimately unsatisfying. CONCLUSION: If you want upgrades, play 'Upgrade Complete.' If you want a deep satisfying 'dig for minerals' game, play the classic 'Motherload' RATING: 2/5, sorry.

Wait a sec… an achievement for *rating the game highly*?
One star! The cheek of it! People, don't encourage this blatant attempt to cheat the system!

I agree with p0x0rz' ideas, those would be cool. Other ideas; fall damage, jetpack (battery powered, with efficiency and power upgrades), and emergency single-use battery (for jetpack recharge to get to the surface to recharge. All in all, great game. 5/5

What if instead of going back to surface in order to recharge, it slowly recharge up to a max? Like an extra baterry that slowly recharges the main until it's empty.

after nearly two hours of playing I found out that you could upgrade MINERALS! Wow. That would have saved me a large amount of grind...

It is a really good game, but I spend way too much time just waiting for the character to stop jumping and walking heedlessly in one direction. I can waste my life in way more fun ways than that. Sad, because I really think the digging is fun, and I would like to do more of that.

Turns out it is nearly twice as effective to spend 1 energy at a time then 10/30 at a time, just to go straight down. I managed to cover twice the depth while collecting ores slowly as compared to rushing down depleting all my energy. (This is without solar and with compensator.)

I like your timer that you added. The one where after about 30 minutes the game gets so laggy it becomes unplayable. Thats my favorite feature.
