My eyes bugged out and I screamed to Brian “OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS ONE!” And then, as I approached it, the screen faded out and fireworks started to go off. I dug a little more and came across an enormous diamond. I was so excited I started singing “We’re in the Money!” while birds fell dead off of power lines and the seas started to boil. Down there, I was harvesting dozens of gems worth 250K a pop. After finishing upgrades to my drill and buying a large tank of gas to go with it, I dug myself to about 1,500 meters. I got to the point in the game where I could no longer place elevators and had to dig for myself. He said “whatever” and spent the rest of the day playing Gears of War on his Xbox and trying to convince people that he really does love his girlfriend, the carrot.ĭuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.īut all good things must come to an end. I tried to explain to him that joy is expressed in me through slumping six inches down into a couch, mouth gaped, drool slowly cascading off my lips, unblinking eyes locked on a television. Brian said it was hard to tell from his perspective. I’m pretty sure I was having a good time. I wasn’t kidding about the “just a little bit longer” quality of Miner Dig Deep. It’s gone to where your dog Spot went when it got ran over by that UPS truck. If you die, all metals you’ve pocketed are lost, so save often and remember to load if you die, because that stuff you lost isn’t coming back. Not so satisfying was filling my pockets with premium materials only to get cocky and stay in the mine long after the kerosene for my lantern had run out, usually resulting in me getting bludgeoned to death by a falling boulder. The grind of making minimal progress and trying to figure out exactly what upgrades to get, only to come up just short on funds and having to dredge back into the mine is both soul-crushingly dismal yet oddly satisfying. And I totally would have done it, if I could have pried myself away from the game long enough. How addictive are we talking here? I was ready to write a Dear John letter to Brian and let him know that I had discovered a new love in life and it was time for us to go our separate ways. It’s also got addiction potency that rivals weapons-grade heroin. It has no purpose and no clear objective. Make no bones about it: Miner Dig Deep is a time sink and nothing more. Besides the occasional elevator, you have nothing to build here. My understanding is that game is equal parts harvesting and building. I don’t get the comparisons to Minecraft myself. What do you use that equipment for? To collect precious metals from deeper inside the Earth. In Miner Dig Deep, the object is to collect precious metals from deep inside the Earth. To clarify, this is a picture of a jackass, not Nate Graves. I just figured Miner Dig Deep would be no good.

Plus it seems to be riding coattails on the Minecraft craze, which I’m not against, but I just haven’t given it a try yet. Why? Well, call me shallow, but the game had box art that looked like this. Since starting Indie Gamer Chick in July, one title has popped up more than any other, by far. Of course, I don’t take on every game that’s suggested.
Those being Decimation X3 and Johnny Platform Saves Christmas, if you were curious. Sure, I thought Apple Jack was hugely overrated, and in retrospect the choice of NYAN-TECH was baffling, but a pair of games have landed on the board. Normally, this results in stuff that I like. Occasionally I’ll get bored trying to pick from newly released Xbox Live Indie Games and put out a call on Twitter asking for older stuff on the platform that has the chops to compete for my leaderboard.
