Keeps you engaged and coming back to it for a long time. I didn't expect to receive lore from a mining game but I was always intrigued and wanting to know more. The music is pretty nice and the art is appealing. A few grammar mistakes here and there but nothing that affects understanding of the mechanics. Overall, really fun and worth some of your timeSome minor concerns:- when I upgrade the above ground floors, they will continue to produce things while upgrading. Normally this is ok but the crafting and smelting stations have at times eaten up a lot of my basic resources because I forgot to clear them out before upgrading. This is especially important for the crafting floor, because there are multiple items that use copper, for example, I've accidentally used all of it on something like nails in the past - some of the attacks for fighting the elders could be explained better. It took me a while to figure out how miracle gas works, as well as how the repair bots help exactly- the rare items tab automatically sets the slider to maximum when you're destroying items. I more than once accidentally destroyed a big chunk of my rare items when I only wanted one or two destroyed- it took me a little bit to realize how to navigate the menus in the beginning, and I actually didn't realize you could go higher above ground for a while - some of the mining stations make sounds and some don't? I could be wrong about this

I honestly really liked this game. There are so many items you can collect and even some interesting lore. I didn’t realize how much I would come back to this game just to see if I had enough materials to upgrade. Despite this process taking so darn long, it keeps you coming back to it and it is very satisfying when you finally accomplish it. I haven’t even brought up all of the different floors you can build and upgrade to acquire more materials not to mention the game works very well offline.There is one big issue I ran into unexpectedly, however, which is why I don’t play anymore:( I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else but I was on level 387 and excited because I was close to what I can only assume was the final boss of the whole, entire areas. Unfortunately, I wasn’t yet strong enough to beat the current corrupt block and was saving for an upgrade, so I closed the game to do something else. When I got back on, however, my progress was completely reset. I was on level one again and I didn’t realize you could save before. Keep in mind that I’ve been playing the game off and on for at least a year and I don’t know how to get my progress back. So a warning to anyone who wants to play: save your progress.

A commercial in another app brought me to this game, because of the art of the mineral monsters, and I was not disappointed with the lore that’s come with the great art. With lore and varying upgrade requirements, along with the changes in the ‘combat’ with each dominant mineral type, this game avoids being TOO repetitive like most mining type games. It’s still repetitive but decently so. One of the main reasons I’m giving it 4 not 5 stars is because the increased difficultly/aka amount and kind of requirements for leveling up combat and such does not match up with a change in repetition. The game gets hard, but stays the same amount repetitive, offering little incentive to keep going once you’d become stuck (other than in game premium resource purchases, which aren’t an option for everyone). I’ll get sucked into this game for long stretches the get stuck for days, more than a week of trying to get past a layer, with no advancement. It loses my attention and I move on, to eventually come back and either get past of the level EVENTUALLY or repeat the pattern with that lauer, or even a later layer. Overall it’s fun, sometimes worth paying a few bucks towards, good progressive storytelling, among other things. The game also has some bugs and issues, but I’m hoping the most recent update might have addressed them. The biggest of note are that when switching between applications, if you’re listening to anything the game interferes with the playback, even if games sounds are completely off. The other, newest issue is that I can only click on the upper inventory/store buttons about 20% of the time, and it’s definitley not an issue with my screen. Hopefully they’ll work themselves out sooner rather than later, but worth noting if anyone is experiencing these issues.

This game is overall very well thought out and keeps you grinding for more which makes it really fun. But, some quality of live improvements would go a long way in this game. For example, crafting. I constantly find myself with an excessive amounts of crafted items after I left the game for too long, so what I propose is a bar that you can control that limits the amounts of items you want to craft, for example 1000 amber chargers, or 100 insulated wires and a switch that you can toggle enables how the game crafts now. Another addition that would go great with this is a queued item list, so after you’re done crafting 1000 amber chargers, it immediately switches to crafting 100 insulated wires. Lastly, I propose an easier way to mass move mining stations, chemical miners etc. I propose you revamp the “mine buildings” menu and allow for you to move the mining stations, chemical miners, etc. with more ease. I hope you didn’t take this the wrong way, i absolutely love this game and would just like to see it grow more.
