I am getting lag in the game every time I move. Also, I have to have to mini map open for it to show as explored territory on the main map. I get even more lag if I have the mini map open, so it is a give and take situation. I imagine it is probably my computer that is the problem. It is a great game, just takes me longer to get anywhere.

Action button=E, The game was so cryptic about this that i gave it 1/5 instantly. Please include control-info in the game.

Man, I always hate to see a game like this. Everything looks like it's in place to be good, and the idea is sound and w/e...and then sees developer shooting himself in the foot through implementing obviously poorly conceived features again, and again, and again, until it gets to the point in which you realize that he/she completely butchered the idea. We had a good idea here, but between spending 80% of the time running back to the base, and related to that the absurdly low amount you can actually dig at a time, and beginning upgrades costing way too much to even get off the ground (I mean, I need an O2 compressor to go any further, but that costs 500 gold. That's 100 rocks, and rocks are all you're gonna find without that O2 compressor)...Like, it's astonishing to me that a developer could create a whole game and never once sit and actually think "Gee, are the things I'm making people do actually contributing to the game? Or are they just going to frustrate people?"

is it just me or does the digger guy seem to go off the path if you dig too far to the right or left or whatever (I have no idea what causes it -_- *SIGH*)

It looks like two treasures are surrounded by the undrillable stone. So I guess unless an upgrade allows me to break it, winning is impossible.

TIP: Make as many straight lines as you can, long ones and then collect resources in small branches, like a tree. To many turns and your going to make more work and slow yourself down.

Stay away, this game will hurt you. I wanted to love it. Overhead Motherlode? Ok, I'll bite. But no, it is a joyless slog. Tedious, repetitive, dull, flavorless. Hour after hour of driving back and forth for the occasional expensive upgrade or completely undescribed, benefitless treasure. Would more than two sentences of story kill you, dev? How about even a slight deepening of gameplay as you progress? What is the point of a one-time teleporter when you can't find enough material per loooong trip away from base to justify building one? And the "music" that plays every time the game loads, ulch. I usually don't award 1 star unless a game is severely bugged, but you earned it.

What is the point of a 'save game' button (that tells you "game saved!") if when you come back to continue your game your only option is to hit "new game" and lose all of your work?

as with most games on Kong, this game is meant to WASTE time, sorry if you entitled lazy brats can't respect or enjoy that. SETTINGS is useful in ANY game you play, instead wanting directions on how to do everything printed in a cheat log for you, try PLAYING the game. Once again if you are lazy or looking for an easy game easily beatable go play something else.
I like this game as an 8 bit throwback to the gaming days of yore.

Got the teleporter to work. ONCE. Otherwise I've not been able to build anything. Either instructions are unclear, or there are bugs.

If that kid doesn't get that god damn controller out of my face, pretty soon I'm going to take it. Then I'm going to shove it where the sun don't shine...I uh...I mean as in where his sun doesn't shine, not mine. I'm not into that sort of thing...

I do kind of enjoy what this game offers, but the ability to mute a flash game is destroying the playability for me. Sorry.

Takes too long to achieve something meaningful -.- 2/5 because I didn't like going all the way back really slow even with 3/4 upgrade, ores are too sparce to actually earn a meaningful amount of money after each trip. There are better digging games already. Does have some potential but need to do something to make it feel faster

if you hide the map in the top right corner and play the game, the map will not show where you have been when you press the map button at bottom of the game. so the only way the keep the big map updated is to keep the little map showing

I also had a prpblem with the teleport but I figured it out. U must hold E to use it. I still can't figure out what to use the Stone wall for. Any clues?

I really want to like this game, but a game where the vast majority of my time is retracing my own steps, is not particularly fun. I'm not sure if I would suggest shrinking the world, populating it with more ores etc or making earlier access to multiple use teleporters. I assume they're are in the game, but I haven't gotten anywhere near that, and frankly may stop playing long before I do. I can only imagine how bored the miner must be, driving endlessly back and forth through a featureless void of his own creation... If I was him, I would find a new job (which is what this 'game' is starting to feel like) :(
