Reviews for "Dwarven Miner"

Well...

First, mining games are great! This, though , needs improvement. I really really CAN'T enjoy this game without some fixes to some bugs. First after you enter the shop you can only go right. If you go left you enter the shop - again. Maybe use trigger buttons like shift or something. This game also needs more elements. Try adding more upgrades. Take examples from other games without copying the exact idea. I'd like to give you a better score, but this game feels really incomplete. I find the concept fun and the wood idea was a good touch, but 4/10 and 3/5 is the best I could give you.

My Opinion

I beleive this is a solid base for a actually enjoyable game but the player needs more feedback because it just seems quite repetitive with no change in game objective which makes it kind of boring.

Suggestions:
Implement Upgrade System For Player
-Metal detector radar
-MiniMap
-Pickaxe Upgrades
Add some more interactivity like BuggerIT said a forge "create your own tools" with sufficient resources (Make it so you can use what you mine to create something that improves the game) Also make finding resources more of a variety not a static amount like you might find 1 oz of copper near the surface but 20 oz at like 200 depth. that means implementing a weight system.

enjoyable enaugh

decent idea, though as somone mentioned a bit of a 'miners clone' ..
lacking bit of content, but seem your working on that =)
(though personally i dont see any imporvements in gameplay with being able to smack a plasma TV inside a mine?? nor a 'Jacouzzis.....'

a few uppgrades, a bit more interaction in than just runn upp and down etc..
as one hitt's the second mine'pick the point of continuing is not there anymore.

as a Suggestion:
- make something to interact with 'top level' .. that is, being able to create stuff above the mines maybe?..
-buy a compass maybe? (easy to find your store) or eventually other tid'bits that could be above the mine...?
-everyone loves uppgrades.. but uppgrades can come in many forms..(being able to merge/work with / create stuff with the ore maybe? (build a forge and start making stuff to work with etc..)

the game has plenty potential yet.
giving a rating of seven =) since i did spend quite some time playing it and enjoyd it quite allot untill the repetitive running back and forth got to me ;)

continue working with it, and you should be able to have a nice solid game even.

Too time-consuming

It got really boring trying to find new pockets of rock to mine out in the maze of stuff that was too hard to dig through...going back, buying wood, mining some more, earning enough to buy slightly cheaper wood, eventually hoping to work my way up to buying a pickaxe...it got so boring I didn't even realize I had run out of wood and I suddenly died. Very unsatisfying.

Potentially a great miner

The game has the potential to be a good mining game but what about a story? how about something most minign games lack such as quests, enemies, pets, eventhe ability to fight bosses underground and such with nothing ut your pickaxe. How about more options for pick axes and more item selections and powerups. And it takes to long to gather the money after the first pick axe.
