Also wish I knew I only had a limited area to explore before the trial boxes. ### 4/5 — Keeps me occupied *2018-07-31, version 3.3.8* Funnish but kind of a time waster. ### 4/5 — Nice port to the iPad *2018-02-25, version 3.3.8* Plenty of fun! ### 4/5 — Ok *2017-03-05, version 3.3.8* Ok ### 4/5 — Love it 😀 *2015-10-26, version 3.3.5* The only thing that would make it better is if it were avalible for iphone 5c and up ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2015-08-20, version 3.3.5* Love this game, addictive. ### 5/5 — G hvggvh *2015-05-11, version 3.3.4* Vbnhvkuvgyjgyvjcjyfcfyu ### 5/5 — Love this simple game *2015-05-02, version 3.3.4* I want an update for this game SOOO much!

App! I think this is the most certently one of the best free game apps in the app store. so good I would have paid more than pocket change to just endorse in the mining reality of this epic game for the shortest hour you will ever experience. this game has became my life. my love. My passion. This is what live for. This is what I do. This is what I wake up every morning to only trying to remember the past dreams within my head from e night before. This game is better than anything you could imagine, more precious than diamonds, more epic than... A waterfall?! ... amen. ~james.g. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2014-12-20, version 3.3.3* Best game ever get it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I wasted 1.29$ on buying credits to get full game *2015-03-09, version 3.3.3* I spent my $ to get the full game but I did not receive it and in my opinion got ripped off ### 1/5 — Great game very very fun. *2014-10-08, version 3.3.3* Download is and waste all of your free time. ### 1/5 — It's Okaya *2014-06-22, version 3.3.3* It needs a jump button ### 1/5 — Help me *2013-06-07, version 3.2.0* I was forced to write this ### 1/5 — Come! On! *2012-08-31, version 3.0.0* Stupid ### 2/5 — Eh, alright *2014-01-31, version 3.3.2* It's ok for what it is, a knockoff of Xgen's Motherlode (basically what I was looking for). For the first hour or so of gameplay, the game is worth about 3.5 stars. Knock that to 2.5 stars thereafter, where replayability sees diminishing returns. Now drop that to 2 stars for losing all of my (5 or so hours worth) of data after logging in a week later. Yeah, thanks for that. ### 2/5 — Meh *2013-12-14, version 3.2.1* Ok game , a little dull. ### 2/5 — Good *2013-05-26, version 3.2.0* Good ### 2/5 — Pretty cool! *2013-03-27, version 3.2.0* I just started playing this game and so far I find it interesting and entertaining! I hope that this game will be something like 'mother lode'! ### 2/5 — It ok *2012-09-06, version 3.0.0* It ok but it needs work and 3d game play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Question *2017-05-19, version 3.3.8* Are the artifacts outside the trial area? ### 5/5 — Mars *2017-02-11, version 3.3.8* Love it ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-11-29, version 3.3.8* Awesome time waster ### 5/5 — Mars Miner *2016-07-03, version 3.3.8* Great way to kill time ### 5/5 — Good Review *2016-06-16, version 3.3.8* Well made time killer. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-04-05, version 3.3.8* Love it ### 5/5 — Good *2016-03-05, version 3.3.8* Just good ### 5/5 — So confusing *2016-01-06, version 3.3.6* Why dose it cost 2 dollars for full game but unlock full game in the free version is 1 dollar ### 5/5 — Just like Motherload *2015-12-23, version 3.3.6* Very similar to motherload - which is one of my favorite ever flash games. This is a well done adaptation. If you like the game, check out super motherload as well on PC/PlayStation. ### 5/5 — Jaw dropping *2015-09-11, version 3.3.5* i remember playing this game YEARS AGO and it still hasn't lost its touch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
