    The final jetpack is supposed to use fuel, just very little. Will that make you sad? :(

    Sounds great, that'd really come in handy without it drifting too much from the game's focus

    Awesome job on the game! Really looking forward to future updates/expansions!

    I was wondering if anyone can confirm what is required for 100% completion. Is it just completion of the story, upgrades, and pit offering rewards? Or is there other end-game content I haven't come across yet?
     
  5. I got all offering pit items, upgrades, beat the game, but only got 84%. Apparently you might not be able to get 100% on all games :(

    That doesn't make much sense, I feel like the only other aspects that could factor in are finding all the bots? Or maybe reaching certain scores in the arcade? Speaking of which, is there any reward or incentive for the arcade mini games or are they solely there as a distraction?

    I just reached the end and its at 4350 meters. Where all the iridium is at :D

    I got all equipment, gear, drillers and and pretty much drilled everything (the platinum drill is marvelous and so its the magma jetpack). Only 4 bosses left and I'm at a 41%...

    I think they count towards the 100%
     
  8. From talking to WickeyWare, I got the sense that the rest is from the weapon upgrades, which you might or might not find all of them in a specific game. I'm still missing quite a few, even though I mined just about every last ore/mineral/chest.

    The equipment, guns, axes, artifacts, nanobots, statues, and gun powerups go into the % complete.
     
  10. I'm pretty sure I've met every nanobot by now but don't think I ever noticed a % increase when meeting any. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
    So the power ups must be what I'm missing :(

    So are the weapon upgrade chests random other than the ones in the dungeons? And how would that carry over if you can't get them all in one game?

    Cog

    When you get the cog it says take it to the arcade. When I do nothing happens

    Did you tap on the screen and the mini games come up? Another one should become unlocked.

    SPOILER: THE ENDING: WARNING DO NOT SEE

    Anyone who has finished the game...

    So this is the ending: I kill the dragon who spits fire and then I go into the teleporter and become a ghost that is the new guardian of mars? Is that it?

    I don't think so. What does the percent complete say in the stats part of the menu?

    It is my absolute pleasure, WickeyWare! ;)

    Here's the scoop (from what I gather):
    According to all your incoming messages from the alien intelligence, you really had no choice but to succumb to such. You are following U.R.S.A. directives from your superior; you are stranded on Mars and have little choice in your endeavors; you are consistently warned by the aliens to stop mining and killing, yet you are still following orders and must stay alive even if it means engaging opposition.......the outcome was inevitable; the miner's celestial purgatory is his penance. An Expansion/Update is almost certainly needed if the story is to 'continue', otherwise, I'd view the ending as 'artistic' and have no choice but to start a NEW GAME, as mining/moving in your celestial body is quite vexing, not to mention death still being possible.

    Story is mysteriously entertaining with both comical and serious dialogue. You're a miner, true.....I implore you to buy this game to experience the story for yourself. :)

    I'm really struggling with the rhino boss...seems like I'm at barely half health by the time I reach him due to all the traps, then I can't get out of his way so he can run into the spikes. Any tips would be welcome.
