Canary in a Crater
Review is based on Version 1.03
It is a fun little game. Controls are solid and upgrades are useful. Achievements work and are simple enough to get.
You could probably finish the game in a few hours, definitely within a day if you’re trying for that. This is a GREAT game if you’re busy and would like to play a game for 20 minutes before work and feel like you accomplished something.
Game play is a simple loop. You dig down collecting upgrade orbs and treasures. Sell treasure. Pay for upgrades and resources to get down farther where higher priced treasure is. This can be a bit ‘grindy’ but that is what this style of game is meant to be. If you are not into that style of game this might not be for you.

Canary in a Crater is a clone of Miner Dig Deep, but it’s graphics are far better and in my view super cute! ^_^ Movement is smooth, but seems slower than Miner Dig Deep. There are upgrades and things in this game that Miner Dig Deep does not have, but I did not play enough to see them myself so I can not comment upon if those aspects make the game overall stronger then Miner Dig Deep.
The developer seems genuinely into improving the game and making it better then it is and is open to critical feedback.

Gem Rush
This is the digital version of the best selling board game…Gem Rush.
I highly recommend this game for all ages as not only a challenging enough casual game, but one with enough complexity to make it incredibly fun and enjoyable. You can pick it up and leave it anytime, and resume whenever you like. It is multiplayer, and you can play up to 7 players, of which all can be yourself or you can assign bots with 4 differing strength levels. This game has much grown on me, become my weekly gameplay. I admire the “Labor of Love” in the sense that the developer continues to update, polish and refine the overall game as years pass. I would give it a try, as it is well worth $10. 😊

Good Game
This is a board game that has made a faithful reiplementation into a digital form. As a board game, I’m going to say it is not something for people who don’t particuarlly like board games. This game avoids many of the fiddily bigts of setup and tear down and rules checking

Battle Mine Sweeper
An excellent twist on Minesweeper. Just as challenging though, if not more so.

First look….
Thank you CAE78SOFT for the invitation to review Battle Mine Sweeper!
After our first hour of play, we have to say that this spin on an old time favorite time killer game, has really been done well.
To play minesweeper, old time favorite and battle at the same time with weapons, traps, adds a whole new level of those who thing they have mastered basic minesweeper.
The leveling, replay ability, various game types, and overall variation are fantastic!
All in all we give this game an 8/10 for originality, implementation, coding, layout, design and creativity.

its not what i expected. you dont get to run your own vet practice. you dont even get your own house or anything. very short game. not very fun.

The devs have apparently never seen an American farm or talked to a real vet. The hillbilly music playing constantly in the background isn’t bad, per se (it’s pretty good, for what it is), but I don’t particularly like that style of music. And not everyone who lives in the country is a hillbilly, for gods sake. So why that music? If they added some alternate tracks, I’d be okay with it.
But the main problem is that it’s goofy. No vet would send an intern to scrounge around in the forest for “healing herbs” (which he can’t even identify) or let him be sidetracked into becoming a delivery boy for the local farmers. He’s ON THE CLOCK. Not to mention the fact that farmers don’t generally leave clumps of goat cheese and bottles of milk just lying around the farm to collect later.

Boulder Dash Deluxe
A classic game updated for the future.
However, it looks very scary. Playing it, I could say that as a child I would have played this a lot, but as a grownup it’s not something that I would recommend. It’s past it’s prime and not updated to compare to other games today.

Mr.Mine
I think this game has potential, but progress is just too slow. I’ve joined the discord and gave feedback around issues with the game and was told you need to exploit the game in order to make progress. Maybe I’ll come back to it one day, but after letting it run for 2500+ hours and not seeing much progress, I think its time to shelve this game.
Issues:
-
at lower depths, 800KM+, progress slows to a halt. Both idle and active play styles have very slow progression.
-
idle play grinds to a halt when you can only make .5% of the cost of the next upgrade every 16 hours AND can only dig 1 KM of depth every 40 hours (there’s over 1000 KM to dig)

Mr.Mine is an Idle Game about mining and digging as deep as you can. On the surface it’s a nice game, but I have a big issue with the updates.
At first, they nerfed the cargo capacity, which I didn’t mind as it was still playable. Then, they released new relics which does not work and made us trash relics to try them out, only to realize they aren’t working properly. Then the final straw, they made the level 1 metal detector show chests location which I figured was a quality of life change, as the level 2 one is almost impossible to find in the scarce amount of golden chests the game offers you… but they instantly reverted the update 1 hour after.

Dig to the Stars
You can complete the game, i.e. get to the end of the story but there is a broken achievement - to bypass radiation levels without the Robot Radiation upgrade
! basically blindly obliterate the block (see Strafing Cubes below).
Dig to the Stars is … a thing that exists. The game is very rough around the edges, sometimes annoyingly so, you’d think it is a first game. The game offers barely any story and almost no explanation on how anything works which applies to controls as well as upgrades. Controls would feel almost intuitive if the game was a mobile game.

I was half enjoying cutting rocks up with a laser, then my progress was halted by an insurmountable, game-breaking design flaw.
There is no way to upgrade your robot to be able to mine radiated caverns without GOING BELOW THOSE CAVERNS.
So yeah, don’t buy this.
Also, the dev changed names to distance themselves from their other games but left the bundle of those games on their store? I don’t get it either.
