Under rating threshold (show) MORE! I want more ores, more depth, more missions, more story. And most of all MORE upgrades. Honest, I had my robot maxed out before the first Lab mission, only 4 upgrades that cost 7500 is not enough...

Under rating threshold (show) a bit of a suggestion: instead of the teleporting that people have suggested, why not have a 'return' button. when used, the robot begins following the best path and automaticly goes to the stores. it could be at an accelerated speed and cost more energy than otherwise used.

Under rating threshold (show) I really enjoyed the mechanics of this game. Great interface (even the kinda frustrating turning felt appropriate to the world somehow), nice graphics, and good music. But the ending really petered out, didn't it? Not much of a story, and the money / upgrades path leads to sudden effortlessness and pointlessness. This is a great game / world engine... now it needs some more content.

Under rating threshold (show) The difficulty is a bit uneven. In the beginning, there's no margin for error, and you've got to scrounge and be extremely careful, whereas after you get the first few upgrades, it's just a grind to finish. May need to add new challenges deeper to balance it out. Otherwise, super solid.

Under rating threshold (show) Long comment is long: As others have said, make the more valuable ore scarcer. Throw in some cool artefacts that bring a bit of extra money. Fossils would be great. I'd like more jobs or levels. Some jobs could combine different kinds of ore, or be about the rare artefacts I mentioned earlier. I also wouldn't mind to have several jobs going on at once. I would have loved to play this longer :) The sand/beach area didn't quite fit in. I can only carry 12 ores in my bag, but an ulimited amount of sand? It would have been great if there was a tide which brought some new sand and seashells or stuff with it, so it would make sense to go back there once in a while and see whether there's anything new. Let me throw away things from my inventory if I want to. Please, do not erase my progress once I finish the game D: Also, this game needs badges :)

Under rating threshold (show) This game had so much wasted potential, you could have added so many cool things to it. Underground dungeons scattered about, buried treasure and dinosaur bones, lost artifacts to fill a museum building with, just... -something- interesting between the town and the COre.

Under rating threshold (show) I enjoyed this game, it was short and sweet, but I'd love to see a lot more in the future. The game was basically just grinding for ores, buying coolant so you can get deeper and being forced to buy a chassis for the amount they wish. It'd be nicer to have more freedom in what you can do, perhaps have different projects that are being worked on, choosing one will cancel the others, providing certain bonusses. Also make the heat a slower issue, where if you go down, you slowly lose health instead of super rapidly. This can turn the mining into more of a risky business, because you can put in missions that are just a bit into the uncomfortable zone, making it tricky to complete! All in all a great game though :)

Under rating threshold (show) Agree with Ysayell that more upgrades would be beneficial. Once you are able to get to through the second layer, gameplay difficulty drops off dramatically. On a single trip, I was able to gain enough to equip the max upgrade for each of the four categories. Great, relaxing game otherwise! The town music was almost a lullaby - beautiful in its quiet simplicity. Sequel potentials: expanded upgrades per category (branching paths based on ores, locations or layer-specifics?); expanded categories (lamp [2nd battery?] for cavernous areas?); surprise(ish) sinkholes, collapsings or **gasp!** an underground river?!; radar. 'nough said; structural supports? I could go on... but... meh. Great start, would love to see you keep going. :)

Under rating threshold (show) This game has great potential, but I have this indescribable feeling of unaccomplishment finishing it. This game needs greater motivation and feeling of difficulty. Beginning the mining adventure has a certain degree of difficulty, but that degree drops dramatically within the first 25 minutes. I highly suggest the addition of achievements, perhaps mining a certain amount of blocks, and more upgrades. Add a feel of danger to the game, maybe cave-ins? Underground rivers to avoid, and even further down, lava pockets. One thing that would greatly improve the gameplay is added random events. Finding random ore within dirt blocks, maybe radioactive blocks that recharge your battery or explosive blocks that damage you. Definitely add the option to dispose unwanted ore. There’s nothing more frustrating than accidentally filling you inventory with too much incorrect ore when on a mission. All in all, this is a brilliant attempt, but I do suggest further work to reach 4 stars. 3/5

Under rating threshold (show) I think you should make a sequel but instead of a town it's a big city full of rubble and you have to clear out the rubble and repair buildings. Or maybe one where you have to reach the center of the earth to power some NASA Project to save Earth from a huge asteroid.

Under rating threshold (show) First of all, How did getting the COre made the world a better place? Second, the diamond chassis can be bought several times, i believe that's a bug Third, i think this is a great game, but support others' comments that it could and should be a bit longer, maybe think of a more complex sequel? Congratulations on your game and thanks for it and for your time

Under rating threshold (show) A good game overall though the increase in price you get for ores is too high and not getting the rewards for the missions would balance the money side of things a bit more too. The other minor issues are not getting any money back for buying higher upgrades so it's better just to go with the highest you can be bothered with - diamond is possible with just coal if you're persistent enough and do a couple of easy missions - and it is possible to buy the same upgrade twice (even at the end you can't buy anything except the diamond body and that still costs you even if you already have it!?! But thank you for a great game... maybe the next one is/will be even better! :D - looking forward to finding it :)

Under rating threshold (show) I really felt like there was something missing, as if it was just a very short demo. You get the discount in the plant, but it's also at the mechanic, which you never get. The rebuilding of the town was a nice concept, but only 3 things are actually built. You can get best equipment too fast, if you get 7500 and get the best cooling, then best drill, the health aspect doesn't come into play - ever. Robot does move too slow, the resource at the beginning are cheap and scattered, moving from one side of the map to the next takes so damn long. There is a huge unused space on the surface, were you planning on something longer maybe? As it is, I give it 3/5 it's good, but could've been REALLY better, there is a ton of room for improvement.
