Yeah, that game's at least 5 years old.  I remember playing that in my high school programming class.

The end was kind of odd, considering...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

..It forced me to buy explosives for the first time.  I remember flying around the Big Bad thinking, "What do I do?"  Then I realized that I'd never played with bombs, so I finally broke down, got some, and killed him.

After beating the game, though, the option to do it all again seems silly.  It was grindy (No pun intended) and frustrating the first time, thanks.

Just finished it... So thats what happens when you cross spelunky with doom.

Well, saw the end comming a mile away, ah well.

[Leafsnail]

How the heck could you get to the bottom without bombs?  There's explosions in almost every piece of dirt and rocks everywhere...

[Max White]

Lots of nanobot repair units... But yea, getting all the way down is a bitch without bombs, as you can not fly at a certain point, so you can dig yourself in. I know I nuked the ground there.

Motherload is a pretty good one shot sort of deal, mining wise. Basically you play as the operator of a mining vessel on Mars, digging through layers of rock to get enough money to purchase a larger fuel tank or a stronger hull. It's pretty great.

[Vertigon]

Yes, and we've had a discussion on it already.

Motherload?

Spoiler: It is pretty dwarfy (click to show/hide)

Dig deep enough and you'll drop into Hell.

Huh, didn't see there was a second page for some reason. Well, at least we know that it's broadly enjoyed even without slight bias from the reading the thread. Well, to actually contribute, Miner Disturbance was kind of fun for a while. Very similar to Motherload, but also fun, with methane gases and creepy underground creatures. I imagine the pay to play version is more complete, but if you're looking for another one shot, then this might be worth a try.

Miners4k had it's charm.

[Vertigon]

Haha, I did actually like that quite a bit.

Saw the word "Jagex" on Miner Disturbance and immediately turned around and walked away.

Now see, it has water and gas physics.

Not even Dwarf fortress has gas physics.

Not even Dwarf fortress has gas physics.

Yet. Although it does have gas-like substances which do flow around the map. Miasma, dust, and vaporized stone for example.
