Title: Flash Game: Motherload

A straight up mining game. Collect ore, burn through fuel, ore brings in funds, funds are used to upgrade equipment, refuel and fix hull damage. Go farther down into the Martian planets crust. Rinse and repeat.

Is this like that mining based XBLA community game?

Nope, its similar in some ways but your not mining on foot (where you need elevators). Your in a little ship that can fly around and drill. The XBL game is actually what reminded me of this game.

rant time

i''ve been playing for awhile now and I'm getting down to 5k+ depth and they have the dumbest design choice ever.

random explosions that kill you and force you to start over. Luckily i saved had to revert but wtf is this shit? I spent 20 minutes getting down there and i have to worry about something that will destroy my ship and i have no way of avoiding it? it's distinguished mentally-challenged. i wanna know what happens when i get down to the bottom damnit!

You need to upgrade your Hull to the near max (or Max) at that point. A high level hull should withstand the damage but it still forces you to start buying curative items.

Apparently its just an item to show that you've beaten the game. There's no other reason to keep on playing.
