Description

After a routine mining mission, Dig jumps into his hypersleep chamber and initiates the launch sequence to head home; During the trip home his ship encounters an asteroid field and while attempting a safe course of passage enevitably takes damage; The shipโ€™s computer โ€“ unbeknown to the damage โ€“ continues the journey while precious fuel begins leaking into space.

The shipโ€™s computer finally realises the fuel reserves wonโ€™t be enough to make it home and begins a search for local planets that may harbour plentiful reserves of fuel. It finds only one and sets a course.

During the descent onto the planet; Dig is awoken โ€“ expecting to be approaching his home world when the Shipโ€™s computer explains their situation.

Thereโ€™s just one issueโ€ฆ the fuel on the planet is nearly 4km below the surface and the ship doesnโ€™t have enough fuel to fire the mining lasers. All of the mining will have to be done by Dig himself!

How to Play

Left and right to Move, A to jump, S to use selected tool, X to use selected item.

Game is designed to be slow at the beginning to give you a sense of reward as you upgrade the tools but after play testing this game for so long with the best tools Iโ€™m not sure if I made it too hard to start with so please be vocal about your opinions as itโ€™ll help craft the final version!

Why should I pay for games like that, if there are way better ones like www.minecraft.net?

Motherload is similar but I think takes a slightly different angle on the game play; I think controlling a character rather than a ship makes the game different enough to be interesting; maybe even a little more engaging (easier to relate to?); As a developer there's always things you want to change about games anyway so this is my way of making my own game that I want to play and hopefully others too :-D.

Poor implemented demo - controls are buggy and the whole game feels clunky. Not a patch on Motherload or MegaDrill so a poor 1/5

This is just Miner Dig deep with better graphics and worse gameplay. Miner Dig deep all the way!
