Synopsis

Its mine oclock, time to dig! Tap the blocks to delve deeper and deeper in your Pocket Mine. Find treasure chests, rare artifacts and trigger explosive chain reactions! Build your deck of booster cards to reach your maximum digging potential and reach the top of the leaderboards! Trade with your friends to complete museum collections and get sweet rewards!



Gameplay

Pocket Mine gameplay is very simple, yet entertaining and you won't be able to stop mining away! There are a few different randomly generated environments in which you will dig for rare, or not so rare, gems, treasure chests, and more! When playing you have to keep an eye on your pickaxes durability (amount of hits remaining), current depth (so you know when you are breaking those high scores!) And your current objective, which is a randomly generated as well and reward special keys meant for unlocking treasure chests found in the mines. There are 4 playable maps right now, normal which is the default version of the game. Acid Caves is hard mode, every hit counts as 2 hits, but it yields double experience and more valuable loot! The last two mode are a bit more difficult to activate, Space Trip and White Gardens, which I know nothing about except for the fact that they are 'exclusive.' And finally the bonus mode: Lucky Hit, one hit and a chain reaction that reaps massive rewards.

Gameplay Features

  • Extremely addictive gameplay
  • Build your deck of booster cards to reach your maximum digging potential
  • Huge gratifying explosions
  • Catchy music that will stay with you all day
  • Bombs, dynamite, drills and other crazy power-ups!
  • Find long lost treasures and rare artifacts!




Graphics

There isn't much to say other than the graphics are clean and crisp, nice detail, but some of the ores have a look resembling to those of Minecraft or one of the voxel-based similar games. There are several different avatars you can choose from that are very unique that have special powers. Animations are clean, but sometimes choppy causing framerate drops on my phone. Refer to the pictures below for some visuals. I really enjoy the texture of the buttons and graphical user interface, it really draws my attention from everything. However I do feel that they could improve on the textures of some of the themes when in game, some just don't fit the game.

Controls

The controls for Pocket Mine are ridiculously simple. Tap the block you want to break, some blocks require two hits. Touch the screen with two fingers to speed up the scrolling. Unless you have the robot avatar with the magnetic ability you will need to manually pick up the ores and relics that drop so just tap where the ores drop to move to them and pick it up.
