Even though this game is greatly superior to any of the other miner games like this I've seen on here... I had to give this game a 4 instead of 5 because going through all that trouble then leaving out the ability to continue unfurls your game's play value. And, yes, I do see the button to continue. It is always greyed out. And I'm not willing to waste all that time getting back to where I was. I guess with that in mind, maybe this game is a 3.5 star. Can't stress enough how important it is to being able to continue.
