I gave it a try the other day and really enjoyed it! Really nice cartoon art style / setting. The above-ground portion of the game feels like a solid clone of the Anno series games. Then below ground adds a fun twist of exploration / resource gathering into the mix.

Really looking forward to when it releases now!

I would have been pretty close to perfectly satisfied just adding an "endless mode" DLC that randomized areas and did something to make power up progression feel bigger. I used to play the hell out of the browser mining game motherlode and this is the first example of mining feeling kind of similar that I can think of.

Thanks for unlocking a memory for me! I played so much motherlode — I think my friend and I discovered it in the school computer lab. It had a great soundtrack too!

It does seem to exist on steam. I haven't pulled the trigger, but they made a different very different looking version, and if you dig down to the description it says it includes "motherload goldium edition". I have it on my wishlist to buy if it's ever discounted a bit in a steam sale, but the newer game doesn't appeal to me enough to spend $15.
