The early game design and quest progression needs some serious overhaul. Dig some ores, talk to the dude, then the other dude, buy the chasis (sic) upgrade he asks me to ... and suddenly I'm completely broke and spending literally every penny on partial battery refills to try and uncover more ores. The temperature gauge should be explained earlier, along with the fact that traveling cleared areas still saps your battery for some inane reason. A few repairs and one rescue team later and I'm stuck in a horrible loop of mining for energy to keep mining without any progress at all. I had to start from a new save (which, btw, there should probably some kind of status information on the robot select screen, and the option to delete). The game was otherwise okay, but the slow-moving robot and early imbalance issues made it much too frustrating to keep going for long. A few tweaks could fix that, I would think.

This needs more content! It has one repetitive block in it but then it gets better, but the end isn't as rewarding as I hoped and the game just gets easier and easier until you REALLY need something extra. Great game, love it! But please make more content!

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

The idea has a limitless potential. Why only mine simple ores? Where are strange inhabitants of the underground? Hidden caves with treasures? Dinosaur skeletons? Meteorite ore? Radioactive ore, which is dangerous to your health? Please rate this for the sequel with even more mining!!!

So, after i beat the game and spent 2hours and 27minutes mining every square inch of the game, i felt accomplished. 5/5

That logic with the wind turbine guy: ``ì need 750$ to buy the parts i need`` then when you do the quest to end you get like 1500$

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

Yes. Everyone thinks Motherload when they play mining games. I think this is different and a solid addition to the mining genre. I wish it were longer. You can't fault someone for having the same basic premise to a game. I had fun. 5/5

Maxing out cooling gives you too much cash. Maybe you should add more upgrades in between. After you max out cooling the rest of the quests are more of a chore than a challenge

Major mission: Mining the whole entire crust (map) of the world, until mining the final material- C0re. progress done- 10% - 15%

Great concept, that can really be developed, polished and pushed forward forever. Needs more upgrades, quests, maybe some challanges, mine floodings, queakes and so on. Maybe add some durability to the equipment. It is good to see that someone has finally reached for the Motherload concept and tries to make it better. Respect.

I have to say this was a very fun game. Short and sweet, but fun and addictive. Wish you could do more quest for more people, and maybe customize a house for the robot. Give us something to keep mining for. Hope you make another. 5 stars from me.

I have done the unthinkable!!!! Well... Not quite the unthinkable. I've done what everyone has thought of doing but disregarded. http://prntscr.com/2awilv

Red top, light hair, blue pants, and says "shut up and take my money"? That guy's name should have been Philip, not Jamie....

Select your robot! I'm gonna have the chance to get my preferred robot, which is different from the other two in 25% of the pixel's color. Awesome! :D

so when you die you have to pay the rescue team seems logical but how do you loose all your ores you as well the ore couldent have magicaly dissapeared or melted becuase of the heat so where dd your or go theres only one explanaition the rescue squad stole it from your storage unit while you were malfunctional and makes you pay money for them rescuing you even though all the ore you collected is probraly worth more than than amount of money you have to pay them so in concusion the rescue squad sre actualy just a bunch thiefing greedy people.So much for the people of utopia being good people they probraly deserved their town to be hit by a storm.

I accidently sold the ore so I thought it's fine, ill just refresh and when i loaded the game again not only had I lost my ore still but the money had disappeared from selling it too! f-this game

Quite cute, however as others have pointed out the balancing is a bit...off? Rush your cooling to max and get your drill up and you have all the money you need. It would be nice to have more missions, upgrades, ect.
4/5

I find myself able to accidentally rebuy things I already have . . wasting money.
The game needs to prevent this or at least display upgrades already bought

Rather easy, upgrades should cost exponentially more. Had all the ultimate upgrades long while before the core quest. Otherwise fun
