Man, I was hoping that the scientist was secretly a villain who wanted to take over the world, and the credits would be about how the world was destroyed.

There's a really dumb cash wall at the wolfram/gold level, where you need to buy the max tier cooling to go any deeper (which is past half way of the max depth which is a little silly).

There is a mute button! The zero button (on both the numpad and the keyboard) mutes the volume, while the + and - keys change the volume

I need a badge for clearing the entire map. It needs to be like a "bad ending" where utopia falls into the earth and the robot makes all the people his slave. :)

Lol, I accidentally got the tree of memories to follow me around on the map. It was like having a tree buddy, who would dutifully wait for me as I dug around.

drill is speed. cooling is life. once you get this down, it's a piece of cake. nice and relaxing tho. i wish there were more upgrades.

For BOTD simply get and sell 8 coal and give the proceeds to the dude in front of the hotel. If you want to play beyond that, stay near the surface until your battery and cooling are upgraded. Keep an eye on your battery and health—if you run out of either, they rob you of the ore you have on you as well as 250 bucks. This can be handy as you return with half of life or battery refilled, and they can't make your money go negative. This can be used to get some life or battery back for free when you die while both broke and not carrying any ore. Upgrading the battery refills the charge, so wait until your battery level is low before purchasing a battery upgrade. (The first battery upgrade actually costs LESS than simply paying to fully recharge the starting battery!) What ever you do, for the love of Zeus don't allow yourself to die with a bunch of ore on you or it'll get erased from the game, i.e. you can't recollect it. Lastly, touching ore once you’re full destroys the ore.

http://www.xgenstudios.com/game.php?keyword=motherload is a vastly superior free game to this game. Even the demo version on kong is vastly superior (I guess the difference is how far you can go, but even with demos limits its still further than this game!)

♫♭I have walked 500 miles, and I will walk 500 more, just to be the bot that walked 1,000 miles to sell my load of ore ♪♬

Most pain in the ass thing is you have to walk 6000 miles to get your energy recharged. (not to mention the character walks at .2 mph)

100% Allowance
Recharge 23% battery for 115$
...yeah, that's exactly what I though this whole allowance stuff would do.

Fastest way to get the medium badge: Buy last level cooling, and a drill that can break stone. After that, you can get anything, including the Core Ore, that appears on the map.
