Great addicting game!

Hi there Ali, don't know if you remember me from Flashkit. First I have to say this is an awesome game, very well polished in every aspect. Second, it is impossible not to compare it to Motherload if you've played it before, and I have... a lot. in fact it's one of my favorite Flash games of all time, and the similarities are quite noticeable. So having that in mind I must say you've improved some things from that one, and that this game stands up to the heat very well.

I liked the fact that you only spend fuel when you move, and when you are beneath the surface, which makes not too stressing. The visual style is very neat and so does the sounds, they fit very well overall.

One thing I also liked is that you designed the game in a way that it makes you drill more sideways rather than going straight underneath, which was something that you could do on Motherload if you knew what was it all about. And that was the best technique to use, going downwards to get to the more pricy minerals faster. With your upgrade system it pushes you to get more of the first minerals in order to go deeper, which I think you managed very well. I must say though, that the upgrades are a bit to high to get after the first ones, but that's not too bad.

I must point too that even when drilling upwards is cool, it makes the game easier, taking the thinking away a bit.

Overall I find the game awesome and very rewarding, got hooked from the first minute. I'm glad that a game like this was done and it is this good, because I love this whole drilling thing a lot. Haven't got too far in the game so I'll see if I find something interesting in the bottom :P Keep up the good work!

Casual Gaming was never more fun

This is a modern take on the concept of a (or some...) really old game(s).
It's nice to see something that I used to play on DOS almost 20 years ago brought back in such a fun way.

Keeping enough of the original formula intact to maintain the same fun gameplay, while changing just enough to make it fresh makes this submission great.

This game is calm, slow paced, and fun. It's big enough to keep you entertained for hours.

motherload VS mega miner

I love this game. I give it a ten because it deservse it. Motherload is better programmed, better visuals, but it doesn't have some of the options that mega miner has.
Mega miner has less options then motherload and I find motherload way more fun. Though mega miner has 3things I like. 1 you can't easily die for some silly reason. Like in motherload the gas bubbles that randomly explode in your face. 2 the teleport point, it's a cool feauture that enlarges the mining fun you don't need to wait dropping your miner for 5mins so you can go further with only 90% of your health left. 3 the missions, it gives a certain goal to the game, unlike in motherload you know when you have completed everything you can.

for the people that voted with motherload as a reason. Give points to a game for how it's made not on if it looks simmilar to another game, because else I can comment on every single mmorpg and rts that is available, with refferal to the best of it's kind.
