The game is nice concept, good graphics and storyline. The game works well when i mine and when i play, but after i smelt or cut crystals and try to SAVE the game.. it F*&$ING lags or freezes and will not let you save the game. I gave 3 stars because i like the game. Fix the game. You can make more money taking ads off and sell stuff in game. Like infinite inventory for $4.99 or $9.99 Also infinite energy for $7.99 or $9.99 players would pay for items then ads. Simple.

I would suggest a way to make the graphics better for those who have higher end devices,and maybe a little more help with the storyline. The only major problem is everytime you go into a building you get a ad but its not too bad. But overall this is a very good game and would highly recommend especially if your a person that likes mining games.

overall I am having fun with this mining type 2D game, but some feedback, I'd like to mine with the pick axe while flying because the gun will not destroy blocks that contain building materials, or let the gun do it. the museum needs some work, I have only one item in there, but there is no description of the benefit of it or why the item even exists in the game.

Fun game with interesting story base. The story is very slim and short though. I beat the bottom base and all that happened was i turned clear and the main character said two lines and thats it. The ending stinks guys, please add to it. I enjoyed playing this game and grinded it out in a few days, but it felt short and a little too easy. The ending leaves you unsatisfied. Thank you for the game.

Great game. Reminds of dig-dug but only better. My only 2 complaints is 1 jump feature. I feel it would be better to actually have a visible UI button for jump. 2 is that a auto target feature available fir ppl that have a difficult time targeting the enemy while holding phone and running around at the same time. Ppl do get arthritis. Bet you thought is was gonna talk about ads huh? Gotcha, I understand the reason for ads. As long as I have the right to remove by paying hard earned cash.

Theres ads every single time you enter the crafting station. You used to be able to pop in and check to see how many more gems/metals you needed for your next upgrade. You cant even pay to remove the ads. They don't want money they Just only want you to suffer. Also, the worst part is that about 1 of 6 times you watch ads it will kick out out of the game so hopefully you saved recently! Sometimes it happens twice in a row! It's infuriating bc the game is otherwise five stars except these issues.

This quirky little mining adventure hasn't aged well since 2014, but it's still a solid slice of fun. You may want to dig up a gamepad since typically clunky touch controls don't translate into precision movement and aiming. The translation is a little weird, there are occasional ads (removable via a $3 IAP,) and there is a bit of a grind, but Mines of Mars (MoM?) is an older mobile game worth playing--which is a very rare thing--if you can dig it.

Not very far in but i like this take on the motherload concept. Having mobs to worry about, and some of the upgrades and control schemes for touchscreen are well thought out. Havn't figured out how to heal yet though. Gana have to keep an eye out for other projects by devs and maybe get ad free... Other than how much my guy would rather jet than run half the time, the length/frequency of the ads is only real complaint... maybe use a slight bit of scaling on ad frequency when accessing buildings in early game (when your not going to be achieving as much little with your small inventory space)? Hmm, or is it only buildings that bring up menu that count towards ad triggering? (Arcade &crafting) and ive just been accessing them more while exploring? Comment on red bot about multi-pages in crafting might be nice too, missed it, thinking recipies would unlock latter as i progresed until i started thinking there had to be more available now.

I absolutely loved this game to bits. I found most of the nanobots,got all upgrades,a few items from the offering pit.I did run into a lot of glitches, graphical but also game altering, but nothing that ruins it. For some reason all of my portals were above 1000ft, and portal D was higher up than C. I also think that the ending is broken? Maybe im missing the point of it :/ i don't want to ruin it, but please let me know if there was supposed to be a final cutscene or something. I need answers!

Honestly this is a great game so far. I think the only way that it could be better is by creating pop-up controls that show up when you touch the screen. Or if the controls were semi-transparent that way it was clear what you were trying to do. Along with that last statement a clear way to aim your guns before you start shooting would be nice. Other than the controls and the aiming system this game has definitely caught my attention in a good way.

if i didnt have to deal with adds every time i wanted to buy stuff might have give anoter star, if i only watched adds when im turning the game on, saving, and optionally to get boosts once and a while like other games, that seems like a better plus, its more like a reward for everyone to run the add, i get stuff u get stuff they get stuff, mutually benificial, rather than the way it is now, its like being extorted every time i go to the grocery store, even if i walk in on accident, no bueno. ty

Bug issue while collecting ingots and gems, i.e. if there are two Ingots or gems of the same type on the ground after collecting them it only credits one. Other than this minor issues I highly enjoy the game and recommend playing it. If you enjoy this game as I do I suggest at least going ahead and buying the remove ads. It just helps if you tend to be a little impatient and just want to grind out on the game.

So far it is a relaxed game i am enjoying it..... But I wish there was a way to resize the screen I feel like physical buttons on the screen would help as well I feel like they are missing like the high jump I can't find it at all pressing anywhere in the top right of the screen. Inventory sucks so far too

I still love this game, but I've been having some problems when switching devices.i can't get my old progress back. if you can, could you add a way to sign in to Facebook or Google play games to backup game progress? I am very wary about losing my game progress, and I see like no point to play it if I have to keep starting over. I normally just go through the file system and back up the progress manually, but I can't find the files to backup Ethier.

I'll have to say, the game didn't ask me to review it until I had enough time to actually... DIG IN... Yeah sorry... Couldn't help myself. Seriously though, this game is, for the most part, a dream in terms of Bluetooth controller support, something extremely lacking from other crescent titles like Aralon, Ravensword or (most frustratingly as it's still under active support and I've paid for it) Morphite. The game play is very similar to Gem Miner 2, except better in ways, for one better graphics, two, the upgrade system makes sense and has a feeling of greater depth, not to mention a story line. It's worth a grab imo. I will warn you, however, if you pay to remove ads, please be warned, this particular game requires you to pay for it specifically, so buying a gem pack doesn't do do even though they're the same price. That irked me and I feel burnt a bit because I'm really short on change and could only afford one IAP (granted, since I'm that bad off I probably had no business buying the one tbh)... Still... You have been warned. Aside from that, I definitely recommend this game.

The game is a fun & engaging. However the joystick controls went haywire about 1100 ft and beyond. Sticky sometimes and other time nothing works. Advise saving game often and have a good internet connection. Development is very responsive to questions and issues. They suggested trying the beta. Which I did. The beta lost visibility on my current game. At one point it would no longer replenish fuel or health. Unable to back out of beta to original game. Had to uninstall/reinstall and start over.

Unfortunately, unplayable now that he fixed some bugs. I did this a while back, did everything imaginable, reached 86% completed. Then i mined all the blocks. Still 86%. So, i started over a few days ago, just got everything except the stuff in the museum, was looking for the dungeon i missed to complete the key. Died, and it didnt teleport me to surface. It somehow made the entire map without the underground fog. Depth at 0 always. Bin is just full. No surface camp to do anything.
