A nifty Mining game

Dspitzle

I played I Dig It 1 and 2 years back, and this is similar but adds a nifty level of mystery. I just wish initial visibility was higher.


Good but needs more

The story of this game is appropriately mysterious and there's a bit of humor too. The mining mechanic is fine and the combat is OK if a little boring. The graphics and animations are great. The only aggravating aspect of the game is the proportion of overall playtime spent traveling back up to the surface. The game would have been more engaging if some puzzle, adventure, or strategic elements had been incorporated. The bosses had no particular patterns or weaknesses, or at least most were beaten on the first try without employing any particular strategy. Although you have to beat all the earlier bosses to enter the final dungeon, beating each individual boss gives no special power-up or access to any areas you couldn't already go. Would be an ideal game for some sort of expansion. Thoughtful design of new levels and challenges would be a big improvement over the procedural generation of the base game. Solid but uninspired.


LALALA! EXPLORING! . . . OMINOUS MUSIC? . . . I'm scared. . . .

I'm a pretty big fan of mining games like this. When I read the description of this, I knew what to expect. But wow! It's always a blast to strategically dig away new tunnels, excited for whatever is waiting to be discovered, but the eerie atmosphere combined with the mysterious ancientness of the setting and haunting choir music adds to the tension of the adventure. You never know what may be lurking in the dark. . . .


Offering Pit

I love the game. I can play it all day if I could. But the only thing that confuses me is the offering pit. What does it do? I’ve attempted to see on multiple profiles but it’s just wasting my resources...
