Great game. It'd be nice to be able to see the part just to the right of where it says "Level:" so that I wouldn't waste my time trying to buy a new pickaxe when I'm (I'm guessing here) 3 levels shy.

Loved it, bit repetative but i assume its still a work in progress, liked the music, though i agree maybe not that fitting, nice to listen too whilst digging though :D. very relaxing, hopefully that will get ruined by the addition of some sorta of monster(zombies/giant spiders/some what less giant but still really big spiders or something else maybe). 4/5 and favorited, I'd like to see what you had to this game if it IS really still a work in progress

I wonder where the shop owner gets all that money for your diamonds and ores at? i mean you are his only customer, and you only pay him for tools and wood.Something is fishy about this!

It was ok.
This game has real potentiol but it is dull and repetitive. It needs more upgrades than just being able to dig in more places.
I urge you to do something more with this game and it will get alot higher ratings.

If you are strip mining there is a band of nothing but rock (no soil) in the centre of the ground. If you just want to make money, go just under that band and mine only the light grey rock. The deeper you go under ground the more chance of finding mythril, but go too deep and the amount of soil rises again.

This has to be the most boring game I've played in a while. It actually got more dull as I got the better pickaxe. Maybe level 6 shouldn't be the first requirement. I had the gold for it before I hit level two on two different tries due to luck. Music isn't bad, just not fitting. Try adding an animation for the dwarf too.

A mini-map for the nearest shop/s is a good idea... perhaps also the option to buy a bigger storage pack to carry more?

Who would bury a bunch of fake artifacts 100 feet underground. I'm beginning to think that these shop owners aren't exactly "Disposing" my "worthless intimation"

As said before, level up should allow abilities. I have some ideas for an upgrade tree based on comments: Walking speed-the name; Luck-better minerals; Greedy-cheaper store; and then something that lets you dig deeper, maybe ice or something.

It's a nifty idea, but eventually you just end up strip mining without end. I would suggest making the walls that you build unpassable. This would require a bit more planning especially at the beginning of the game.

You should have an option to whether sell your stones for money or EXP. Mining rocks for few exp is a bit boring at the start.

I spent the first 30 seconds mining in a straight line to the right to try and reach the huge empty space. then I realized it was my inventory.

There's several interesting things here, but many little annoyances. At first I hated the push key faster = move faster, but then it started growing on me because I, the player, could make my character work harder by working harder myself. That said, ow my fingers. At first, leveling up seems pointless, until I could finally afford a better pickaxe only to be told to come back at level six. I also didn't like the "you swing valiantly at the rock, but fail; try again" message. It made me feel as though the pickaxe I'd just purchased was very tenuously useful. If as you level up the odds of succeeding increase, I'll forgive you (I only got to level 7 before my hand hurt too much). However, there should be a sound or visual effect for when you swing to no avail, to let the player know that they're doing something.
All in all, decent. Mildly addictive. 3/5

well i got the mithril pick axe unlocked... glad i couldnt buy it till lvl 23.... stupid frickin unlucky plots of anything valuable

How about another option in the inventory menu for "just drop" so the item is left where I was standing and will be picked up the next time I stand there. That'd let me hoard a bunch of gold and gems in a special section of the mine.
Currently not possible, sorry. Will add storage at some point. Some special storage room you can build in the mine maybe ... Sorry, but atm technically not possible.

for the pick to mine the magma, something like having to collect 5 or 6 of the "strange stones" and enchant your mythril pick. or maybe collect the scatterd the pieces of an ancient magical dwarven pick and put them back together.

I love the updates! I watch alot a tv shows while on the computer and I enjoy games like this one that do ont require too much consentration. Keep it up!

A minimap to see where the nearest shop is so I dont end up walking farther than I have to or search for any forgotten/missed ores. I dont think the ore part is nessecary but to find the shops would be great.

I give it a solid 3/5 right now. It's a bit too simple. It felt more like I was just strip mining everything. Many things could be done to improve it, depending on what you are shooting for. Adding skills (mining, appraising, haggling, carpentry) you can gain when you level would be great. Having items like backpacks, torches, lamps, food might be nice. I was hoping when I first started that I would have to dig down and shore up tunnels and head towards veins of ore or gems, instead it was just strip mine everything and don't run out of wood. I wanted things to collapse on tunnels that haven't been shored up! I also agree about walking faster when not mining! All said, it's a great start and I'd love to see more! Keep it up!

Over all, a great game. Things it could use to be better, in my opinion:
Stats! Something to level up! More walking speed (by this I mean, covering 2-3-4 tiles per step instead of one without a mineral block), better chance of block break, more inv stacking.
A vault! A place to visibly hoard your shinies, maybe with an upgradeable graphic.
Some sort of farm would also be nice, but not entirely practical.

Id also like something to reset sections of the mine so I can mine them again, dynamite maybe? just to reset the mine within a certain blast radius, or even whole vertical sections of the mine
Yes, I'm trying to think of a way to do this. Just blowing up your your mine would be iilogical i think, though... although it would look nice ;) but... why should it reset the ores? The only way I can think of is an option "move to a new mine/land". The problem would be that I can't save the old mine, it would be lost O.o.. and I would need way more shopkeeper names ^^

:D artifacts are a great addition, I would like a storage bin to hold the fakes and other stuff that I dont want to sell. I cant wait for this game to progress further.
