today i stumbled over MiniClip which was my top favorite place to waste time, and i saw this game, i used to play it way way ago, its so entertaining.. i highly recommend each one of you to play it and explore it.

damn, im dying too quick lol

Old game, beat it once too.

Yeah, ancient game, but I actually find its digging mechanic far more entertaining than minecraft's. Probably because it's meant to last for 2-3 hours, rather than 20-∞.

I went through it again today; got down to ~5500, had the third highest upgrades of most and second of some, before my full health ship decided to spontaneously explode. Stupid gas pockets...

Ah yeah love this game...really has that strategy element to it imo

GAS POCKETS?!

Stupid game kept me up until 2am! I had lots of upgrades and such when my digger got stuck for some reason. It couldn't move in any direction, and then it ran out of fuel and blew up.

Thats the reason why I use Whiskey Outpost Generator as an energy, I'm an example of perfect symbiosis between man and machine

Did you fight satan yet

I bought the goldium version for like $10...it's completely worth it

Wait 'till you get deep enough to mine some Amazonium. That stuff sells for half a mil each. That's the price of a maximum mod on any component.

Mess around at the top levels long enough to upgrade your fuel tanks a couple times, and then just shoot a shaft straight down one edge of the map to about 5k deep. It doesn't take more than a few trips at that depth to max out your gear, buy a bunch of C4 and power ups, and then you're ready for the bosses.

I remember dis! O.o

even after all the 500k upgrades, you can find upgrades very down under... that are better than the 500k, and every time you load the game there is a different upgrade, lets say i got the fuel tank upgrade that is better than th 500k one, i must save and reload the game then dig down the whole way to get another equipment upgrade, etc.
