Motherload; The game that takes you under the surface of arcade-style gaming and into the roots of fun. Tipping the hat to old favorites such as Dig Dug and Boulder Dash, Motherload incorporates a modern interface, fast-paced gameplay, and an in-depth storyline. Innovative use of flash allows for a dynamic and exciting gameplay in the substrata of Mars, where you'll search for the Motherload; A fabled cache of rare and valuable minerals.
Experience the dangers of Martian soil, complete with hidden gas pockets, earthquakes, and other surprises. Purchase powerful upgrades for your Mining Pod with the fruits of your labour. Compare high scores with friends to see who the champion really is. When you've finished the game, challenge more difficult gameplay modes.
Control your pod using the arrow keys or, if it is more comfortable, the WASD keys. Your drill will deploy automatically if you move into diggable material beside or below you - remember, you cannot drill straight up.
To save your game, fly up to the the hovering bot right above the mineral depot.
You can trade minerals in your storage bay for cold hard cash at the mineral depot, with which you will be able to purchase upgrades and items. Upgrades are installed automatically when purchased. Use items with the following hot-keys:
I: Open Inventory
Your inventory displays your items and upgrades and allows you to jettison material. If your pod is too heavy, click on minerals to discard them through your exhaust ports.
R: Hull Repair Nanites
These advanced nanobots will repair your hull when nowhere near a repair station.
F: Reserve Fuel Tank
These bottles of compressed fuel inject straight into your main tank.
X: Dynamite
Blasts a small area around your pod. Note: Dynamite will also destroy valuable minerals; Use caution when blasting.
C: Plastic Explosives
Blasts a large area surrounding your pod. Note: Plastic Explosives will also destroy valuable minerals; Use caution when blasting.
Q: Quantum Teleporter
This device transforms your matter into energy and flings you at the surface. It isn't always accurate, so remember to exercise caution.
M: Matter Transmitter
A more stable version of the Quantum Teleporter, the Matter Transmitter is much safer to use. Like any Quantum Device, please remember keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times while in use.
