How it feels
Mining feels like a calm, meditative loop of digging, collecting, and upgrading in your own cosy underground world.

What players say
Players fondly remember this from Xbox Live Arcade, calling it a faithful port that recreates the original. The core loop is simple mining and upgrading, but reviewers note two specific frustrations: a shrinking light that makes you return to the surface, and falling rocks that kill you and delete your inventory. Some say progression is slow, though longtime fans find it charming.
