ok so i stole the shiny thingy and got back to the ship with some score... what now ?
the game has a good start but theres nothing to it after that...
make an upgrade system/shop submiting score gathered in the caves would be nice too... also make the map more visible where there are small caves where medium etc.

I have some ideas to implement in the game. 1 Regenerating shield. 2 Gas pocket radar with % to found one near. 3 An Arpon with rope to descend safe or ball stance shield for some seconds to deflect the atacks and green rays. 4 More presure depending on the deep, that presure can slow more and more the robot. 5 Dark rooms or zones of the cave with enemies and the option to carry a torch to enlight that places. 6 Move, jump or use the items of the robot can use some petrol or gas to have a limited tank, and the same with batteries for the weapons. 7 Ball stance able to move or jump or drill maybe? 8 maybe also some zombies? XD
I really love this game, develope it more please!

only slightly "inspired" by minecraft, you got those trademark dirt "blocks" with the grass on top, rare shiny specks in walls, that you dig out and get cool stuff, not to mention alien things that explode when you get close, "don't dig straight down or you will get punished by random gas (lava) pockets that will instantly kill you"

dont remove the gas pockets, it would be a wasted work time. instead, make something to identify them, like a sequel of sounds according the proximity (which reminds sonic water stages). or even something more complex to implement like a minesweeper-like gameplay.

to whoever was asking why this is 2.5D:
"The term "2.5D" is also applied to 3D games that use polygonal graphics to render the world and/or characters, but whose gameplay is restricted to a 2D plane."
as for the game itself, it's a fun demo, and my be great in the future. needs a lot more features to keep players busy. the updates planned so far sound awesome. I'll certainly be back when those are added!

Needs a nice upgrade system and money to buy garbage with. I know it is the same old thing, but the upgrades give you something to work towards. Like the old miner game. Very good. HOpe to see more soon

it's a fun game. however i died from a random gas pocket. that they exist, fine. that they do damage, fine. but i was at full shield and i was instantly dead. wtf?
also, A lets you fold up and it allows you to roll, but only when you already have momentum. nice. but why does this armored ball mode not protect me from lasers? it would be much better to have this as some "invulnerable" mode. or well, "less vulnerable".

Drako155, The secluded rooms are actually secret rooms, which you have to dig into. They have a lot of treasure in them, though. I'm not sure what you mean by digging forever - there are limits to the level. The bug with the orb will be fixed in the next version.
Leaph, the next version will have an arrow pointing to the orb when you drop it. Sorry it got lost!

After playing for 5 minutes I can see that this game still has much work that needs to be done. Why are there secluded rooms full of gems in the middle of nowhere that have nothing to do with the game? Why can I dig forever? I should not be able to dig up. Just because I'm digging doesn't mean gravity doesn't apply anymore. I have found the easiest way to finish a level. Get the gem you need and die. It transports you to the ship because of death but you keep the gem and end the level. WooHoo! Quick escape. Fix these things and the game will be on its way to being a great game.

Yikes.... Great game, but... I can't find where I accidentally threw the orb.... It'd be REALLY appreciated, if the orb (once it's been grabbed the first time) showed up on the mini map. I seem to have lost it... in the tutorial level! I can't find where the orb went, so I can't finish the tutorial.

for far as i know 2.5 D are models and flash animation in a 3D environment, this game is more like a 3d game with a 3rd person controler, but is my opinion and i can be wrong, anyway i love the idea of motherload and the idea of someone update it so 5/5

LOL, I saw one of those mole-esk guys, and I went to shoot him, but missed because he dug into the ground. But at that exact same time, he hit a gas pocket blowing us both up xD

Please remove the gas pockets. They really suck the fun out of this game. If we could dig freely and explore to find our own ways to the orb, it would greatly improve this game and give the drill some real use.

it started at 5/5 until I realized there was no reason to get upgrades or gems. Its essentially a capture the flag game. Not interesting. 3/5

I think when you roll into a ball you should be indestructible and when you come out of the ball you should spring out not stand still and open, i loved just rollin around makes the massive maps more bearable, try changing the gameplay to more of a mothership style, potentially great, 4-5/5

this is stupid, the map is freaking HUGE and I have no idea where to go to get the orb. Needs the arrow to stay up. I have been playing the first (non-tutorial) level for half an hour now and I am rage-quitting this game.

Very nice. But I found the keyboard setup very uncomfortable. Why not just SDF, or something more common? Best deal would be to make it configurable.

I've found the bug causing the camera to jitter around like it's had too much caffeine - we'll upload a patch tomorrow to fix it! Stick with us, we'll get the bugs under control!

maybe its just me, but the background doesn't scroll smoothly, it is seizure inducingly jittery. too bad; otherwise id quite enjoy playing using ie

This is A great game, but when I got to the end, I got the Orb, & returned to the surface with 100+ time left to go, & the stupid ship would not let me in!, 100 seconds later, exploded.

Nice graphics, but:
- it runs very slow
- I finish the level, go to were the arrow is pointing... then what? Oh yes, when the timer goes up I die. WTF?

Ok, I figured out what's up with the game not letting you back on the ship. If you press S to fire your gun while you have the orb, you'll THROW THE ORB INSTEAD. This really should be made more clear.

in the tutorial i went above the cave and got to the end..I dug straight down and got right to the orb...no easter egg but I was able to leave right away

ppl who are asking for upgrades: stop playing mainstream games and go play something like ico or shadow of the colossus
:P
