- As you break down walls in the mines you get to see the next set of blocks.
- When holding materials and resources they can drag you down and slow you down, you can drop some of them to alleviate this and each piece uses physics and can get stuck or snap off.

- It’s a good idea.
- Get good enough and you can have a lot of fun with the combat due to how many weapons you can attach to your mech.
- The underwater setting is beautiful, I love that you see the fish and other predators just going about their business.
- It is very satisfying when you get a good cave to mine and haul a old of materials and resources out.

- So easy to die quickly as the enemy’s density and strength are up and down continuously.
- Slow starter.
- No real good feedback on getting damage and it always lands up you just getting the dead game over screen.
- The upgrades are basic and new weapons are far apart.
- Combat is slow and not that fun.
- Attacks don’t leave a lot of time or room for your mining expeditions.
- Nothing carries over to new runs.
