Mining Merchant

Pacing just didn't feel as good as the other games from this dev. After the initial novelty it just felt like a grind but there was still so much to go. Also a lot of long repeated animations and waiting that just didn't help in keeping me interested.

游戏是好游戏，但优化太差，玩没一个小时就开始严重卡顿

Es un juego de minar, muy adictivo pero repetitivo. Esta bien, la historia es simple pero le da un contexto al juego, las mecanicas son faciles de entender, es un juego relajante que repite las mismas mecanicas con pocas sorpresas.

It's kinda a Dave The Diver-lite (simplified), would be the easiest comparison? You own a jewelry shop that you can upgrade & decorate and unlock different jewelry types eventually. After your shift is over, you travel to one of several mining locations with multiple biomes, where you can mine for ore and jewels using a mech. Once that's done you can smelt the ore into bars and craft jewelry by combining them with gems. Then you open up the shop again. There's also a storyline that centers around discovering the cause of mysterious earthquakes impacting the local town with several characters helping you investigate it on your journey. Besides the main story there are also side quests which mainly are related to upgrades or specialized orders. I had a lot of fun with it and the mining is very addictive. If you're into mining games, I think you'll love it. If you're not interested in the shopkeeper part, check out previous games from this dev, which have a mining-only focus, but have similar mechanics. Recommended! :)

Game is okay but I just want to mine...

Recommended. Came for the cozy shop management. Stayed because I somehow became a full-time miner, part-time therapist for NPCs, and financially responsible for an entire town. This game is so much better when someone is there to say, "One more day..." (It is never just one more day.) Please... let me have more hairstyles and outfits. I need to look cute while carrying the town's entire economy on my back. 10/10. Unexpectedly wholesome.

yeah I dunno about this one. It's painfully slow, even after nearly maxing your passive upgrades. You get constantly interrupted with tutorials and dialog. I'm on like week 4 and still can't go a whole day without some NPC pestering me about something. Also the dirt limits are too tight, renting a bigger dumpster is very expensive and not a forever upgrade so that just feels bad

This game is incredible! Reminds me of the old school flash games I used to play (MotherLode I think?) Also the game has so much content, wow!

My rating: E / 10 This is a neat little game with progression that feels good. The events in the game seem a little rushed and overwhelming at first, and I wish it would give you a bit of time to breathe in the beginning. It was never "too hard to do" though, and I still completed the tasks. It's just a little hectic when you get taught how to do a thing, get told story lore, and get 2 requests and a party plan started in a single day before you're even used to how the game worls. Minor nit-pick. The "E" button is used to pick up items AND cycle through usable items. I wish the cycle through was R instead. I've accidentally used the wrong thing so many times just because I cycled through my usable items while picking stuff up and didn't notice. Holding E to do certain things and hitting E to activate certain things at certain moments works alright, just because the cycle through is turned off at those times. It just feels like they want E to do too much. E.

Really enjoyed this game. Recommend for those that want to sit back, relax and mine some ores.
