Gameplay
editMiner Dig Deep is a gorgeous 2-D sidescrolling game, viewed via the traditional side-on platformer perspective. The main gameplay mechanics of Miner Dig Deep are similar to other digging games like MotherLode,[2] and Gold Mine.[3] One could consider it a cross between Dig Dug and Boulderdash - though it could be argued that there's perhaps a hint of Mr Driller as well. [4]
Miner Dig Deep is an addictive casual game where the player tries to expand their mine to find riches in the depths below. The game has an infinite number of randomly generated mines & resources. Build the deepest mine so you can make your fortune in rare gems and metals from the earth below. Dig too much in one area and Earthquakes occur, causing cave-ins!
At its core, Miner Dig Deep is a RPG.[5] As you collect resources in the mine, you then go bacvk above ground to the shop, where you have the ability to purchase and upgrade a number of items to help you dig deeper.
You also have the ability to save or load multiple games.
What makes Miner Dig Deep so fun is the sense of exploration and creation. You must carefully explore the mine as you dig and construct your passageways to allow you to reach the valuable contents but also to be able to make your way back out again, because if you get stuck you will have to forfeit everything you have excavated so far in order to be rescued and brought back to the surface.

Overall development time was approximately three months. [7]
