Well, normally I will wait until I beat a game or sink a fair amount of time in it to review... Unless I feel a game needs more exposure, in which case I'll write one early. This is one of those games. At time of writing I see one other written review, and since this game has turned out to be an absolute GEM among games, I'll toss in my two cents to see if we can get this game a little more exposure. First of all, ever play a game that scratches an itch? What about those games that scratch a couple? Well, this game just hits every nerve. I started playing not sure what to expect, good or bad, especially given that I had only seen one review. Since then, I have been playing almost non-stop. This game feels like the developers went around asking people, "What do you like in a mining game?" ...and then they just put every suggestion in one bundle. First of all, sometimes quantity IS better than quality. Anyone who has played Vampire Survivors knows the glorious feeling of picking up exp...

User Reviews
roguelike that is a unique mix of binding of isaac and minecraft (sorta). dig, fight, get weapons, craft new ones, upgrade yourself and go deeper. not too flashy, but it's definitely fun. recommended.
Chatgpt recommended this to me and I played this game in one sitting. I like the mining part the most. Please make it obvious to enable the central command unit like adding an arrow above it for example. I don't know that I have to activate that and I beat the two boss stages without any upgrades, which frustrated me and nearly gave a not recommended. I like the portals which made the huge map less likely to be a walking simulator. This is a good game and I wonder why does it have low downloads. I think you should have the main character on the title image. I observed that popular games similar to this have it.
