an addictive little martian minning game. full of upgrades. oh, and if you run out of fuel you explode.

It's good, but you can beat it in a day if you play hard. I did.

Drill straight down, and go for the two or three most expensive kinds of minerals you see at your current depth. Upgrade fuel tanks and cargo bays first, then engine (and drill as you need it). After a while you will need dynamite to blow up rock and lava pockets (use dynamite, not C4). Keep digging straight down. After 5000 ft you should blow your way down instead of drilling, lest you be eaten by natural gas pockets. Bottom line, keep upgrading, and never go down to large depths without a serious supply of dynamite (20-30) and some backup fuel.
