Great game

This game matches up to the reviews- Similar to Motherload, with a nice twist of its own. I cant say that the controls are great but there not bad. Ok to use with no real issues. You mine 80% of the time, and occasionally shoot at monsters. You can use the gun to shoot blocks with I think is a real game changer. Later on in the game you can purchase anti-gravity boots which flip you gravity. You can save fuel and fight monsters upside down, not to mention mining upside down. I like the story line and everything about the game. Do I think the game is worth $5? Yes, but only if they keep adding updates and performance upgrades; or else it could be $3. Id give up a burger for this game. What bugs me about this game is that one of the portals(B) has blocked the entrance of the first boss. It cuts off the storyline for when you need all five relics(4200 down level). I have all the purchasable upgrades in the game and everything from the offering pit and museum is full minus first key relic. I cant move on because of the storyline issue, this might be only on my map though. There should be an update that makes the portal generation code to move the portal at least 1 space away from all unmineable/unbreakable blocks and when the portal is generated etc. Other than that I cant say its a bad game, I dont think this issue affects anyone elses maps since Im pretty sure the maps are randomly generated or at least different with multiple maps.
