Decent game, managed to rush all upgrades in minutes before running into the paywall. Sure, I can drill deeper, but my mining bot will get burned into crisp trying to drill deeper than 1 m into the limit. I suggest buying the cooling fan and drill upgrades as soon as possible, and ignore te rest, and buy teleported after that and rush till you hit the golden drill upgrade, only then buy the rest of the upgrades. Cool game, but paywall sucks.

Great game I just wish you didn't have to pay to continue playing, I made it so far just to get stuck with having to buy upgrades to continue. Reminds me of a similar game I used to play on mini clip way back in the day on a PC

Was not a fan of this game, I like the idea behind it but the cost of upgrades and how very little coal is worth(that's all you can mine for until you upgrade your fan, fuel tank etc.) When you die your charged 500 plus to get moved to the surface and the money you have when that happens can and will go into the negative, so then you might as well start over because there is no way you're going to recover from that.

Fun game, I don't know if it's a glitch or not, but it wants me to buy the game in order to upgrade past three stars on every save file. Once you buy the full version you shouldn't have to pay again to start a new save! I only gave it two stars because of that.
