Awesome game, I loved playing the original as a kid on Miniclip, and this sequel adds some interesting changes to some of the game functions and a little more lore depth. The graphics are much improved as well. They also have the original available in the same download in case you want to play that. SPOILER BELOW HERE: I do wish they had done more in terms of the actual depth to the game though, because it has potential to have a much longer gameplay loop, such as them having possibly included involving more planets/moons (maybe some minerals can only be found on certain worlds or something), more alien civs, and an overall more in depth story than what you get in the actual game. As is though, I do recommend the game still as is, it is still a fun playthrough even though it is a very simple game.
Well Abbadon, this truly was a Super Motherload huh.
I bought it for the OG Motherlode Goldium Edition. One of my favourite flash games from the Miniclip era.
I got this game on ps+ when I was console gaming on ps4 years ago, I had to get it again, cause I love super mother load, even the original.
Fun game with a cool style. Brings back memories from my teen years! One major problem. Regular freeze/crash on final boss. It's a long sequence and completely ruins the experience.
Motherload was one of my favorite flash games back in the day. Super Motherload is a more modern rendition of this game that wraps it into a visually nice package with a good story and an ending that thematically makes a lot of sense. They also preserved the original too and you get an easy to launch version of it that doesn't make you jump through hoops with flash player in the modern era.
