The game loop is simple, so this is a game that will not please to everyone.
Also, it has a weird issue with controls.

It's a simple mining game where you upgrade your machines to be able to go deeper and faster. It's the usual balance between the upgrades and your progression. So, the game doesn't end at just mining.

There is some writing that is ok. But you don't necessarily play for the dialog.

Missions are totally optional and you can complete them accidentally, which is good because some tedium can be involved. Again, it''s a balancing act: is it worth to push through the mission for a bit of cash or do you ignore it knowing you will probably end up fulfilling the mission ?

There is a variety of ores with different rarity depending on how deep you go. You can also generate passive income at an initial cost.

A very nice thing is that when you acquire a new machine, it starts with very low specs. So, you've to upgrade it too. Which means that you need to spare extra cash before changing machine. So, it avoid the situation where you spare cash to buy the best machine and just optimize the fun out of the game.

It's quite linear, but at the same time it's all about exploring the underground and enjoying the upgrades.

Also, it's dirt cheap. So, the risk is low.
