App Profile: Mine Rescue!

The basic idea of this game involves some really fun problem-solving, but that enjoyment is dwarfed by two big problems: some of the game mechanics need to be refined, as there have been levels and situations where the miners will get stuck, die suddenly, and there was even one level that was unbeatable because a component that was supposed to remain upright kept falling down. Now, that’s being a little picky, and the game is fun enough to work around these issues. The most bothersome component are the ads. Apparently the developers really need that money, as you are almost constantly bombarded with ads: between levels, when you restart a level. Some of the levels are so short that you feel like you’re watching more ads than playing. For that reason alone, this game is a hard pass.

I originally rated this 5 stars. I advanced through the levels having played it for months. The game is fun but the frustration with the games issues became too much. On many times I e had the game freeze, either before I get into it or while I’m playing it. The final straw was the little miner. He dies for no reason at times. Where he can hop at times to get over or on to things, at other times he is unable to do this. in my last game before I deleted it, I spent hours perfecting all the moves. This time, the bolders and planks fell right where they were supposed too. The miner did all of his climbs and hops and scrambles. He made it all the way to the exit and for no reason turned around and walked all the way back down, kicking one of the difficult planks down. He could not return. This is a consistent problem this game has. It’s almost like the miner is programmed to walk in the opposite direction or go up instead of down. At other times, he walks or jumps and dies. The variable and inconsistency of the miner was enough for me. It’s a cut fun game but the programming needs to be worked on more. Original post: Very cute and lots of Fun Game is cute, with the little miner. It’s fun and adds a new twist to other games out there. In an over saturated smart phone game world, this is new, inventive and keeps your interest. It poses problems that you need to think of the solution then execute to solve. Hours of entertainment.

I put up with the levels closing in the middle of my games causing me to have to start over, but on the new level 12-1 I could not get through and used the help option twice and the miner stopped at the door both times and would not walk through. Can you fix this bug? This is still my favorite game and the only one that I have ever purchased hints for to enable me to continue with the additional levels. My issue now is that on a couple of levels I used a hint and it did not take me through to the end of the level. It also has stopped me from being able to access the next level in the last mine. (Level 2 in the Topaz mine.). Can you help me with this?
