Mining Company

:/

I love this game. It's very obviously inspired by Lethal Company but it's definitely doing its own thing. You're essentially going down to a planet to mine various coloured resources that you can then sell on a running market (timing it to get a good price is important!) I also like that going to planets takes fuel and how much fuel you need is impacted by their distance from each other which gets bigger or smaller depending on their orbit - again, requiring some careful timing. It's got a lot of jank (which is also somewhat endearing) but for the price it's definitely a game that'll get you a decent amount of hours of fun.

TLDR: This is a free game masquerading as a $5 game, it's more concept than realization, go get an indie actually worth $5 I'm sorry but this is not it, the menu is pulled straight from Lethal Company and the visuals are obviously inspired by it, but that's about as far as it goes, the enemies are uninspired and one is essentially a moving T-pose, the game play loop isn't that interesting and when you stack it up against other games with mining it's basically comes off as a highschool project. So while I can commend them for getting a game up and released I wasn't even able to give it proper coverage in Stream, the options menu is completely borked the mute button for in game chatter is non-functional, you have to move some slider settings down to hopefully make it go away and even then it resets after every mission. The little graph of the ever present stock market is kind of cool, but the hideous black boxes that are apparent next to them are not, it's basically lettering typed out in paint over black boxes, if this were an early access with some sort of described future I would give it some slack, but this went full 1.0 and isn't even worth the sale price let alone $5 For $5…

shouldve been free

Okay to start things off please keep in mind this is not a $20 game, its a $5 game so don't go in thinking its going to have like every single feature you desire! With that out of the way I have to say i'm actually "Digging" this game! It's quite fun for what it has to offer! I've only solo'd but from the little amount of time I have played it's definitely a game I'll be keeping! I love digging games so this one scratches that itch which is cool! A feature I find interesting is all the minerals you collect can be sold at different prices (depending how fast you are at the ever so changing global market) which is cool because you may or may not make extra dough for your hard work! I would love to see achievements in this game! Nothing crazy but like anywhere's from 10-30 would be perfect! I also came across an issue that if you accidentally try to pay off your ship without purchasing any fuel you cannot revert that and thus forced to quit your game. A quick fix would be any money you did add into paying off your ship accidentally should be allowed to be removed until payed in full so that you can purchase some fuel and continue your adventure! Overall I like this game and the ide…
