    You know what would make this game even better?

    Better ipad support.
    Maybe see more of the most effective on the ipad?
    If I turn it upside down make it change vertically.

    I haven't played Pocket Mine 2 but 13 votes and a clear 2nd place in the poll is difficult to argue with.

    Don't forget to vote for your favourite game! :)

    Has anyone had problems with the extra energy upgrade? I went to purchase it, game crashed just after I entered my password, the money has left my account but I still only have five energy.
    Just wanted to check if it will be something others have encountered and did it fix itself or if it's just me. If it was just 79p I'd just repurchase but at £3.99 I don't want to take risk of being charged twice. I've emailed dev somfingersncrossed.

    There's a "Restore purchases" in the settings menu, have you tried it? But otherwise if you have sent us an email, we'll handle it!

    Fairly random, just wanted to report for anybody interested that dedicated 3 factories yesterday to producing rare (blue) equipment, and the best item I got was an afro with +80% Explosive Drill.

    I went with rare equipment because it's cheap/fast and most of the good equipment I'm using is that level. I've got hardly any purple/gold equipment because even through it's got multiple stats, they're both mediocre.

    I have also spent some time saving keys for chests deeper in the level and haven't seen much difference - IMHO it's best to just use those keys as fast as you can - results seem pretty random to me.

    To the developer: the Claim All button in the Trade Center is great - any chance for a Dismiss All button for all trade offers that I don't have the item they're asking for? (Could appear once I've dismissed all offers that I do have the item for, or be available in general, or be a "Dismiss All Offers I can't do" button...

    Edit : never mind all that.

    A good question : if I finish olympus can I still play it to get the artifacts?
    Or I gotta wait another week?

    Ok - I have a question that maybe someone can answer. It's probably already been explained, but I can't find it. Do the card and gear benefits "stack"? By that I mean, if I'm using the super grenade card and a gear that adds 70% more grenades, does that add even more grenades to the mine? Or would I be better off using a general "add 70% crates" gear or something different all together?

    Check out the "Help" section, available through the settings menu. (Top right button)

    Special powers are clearly explained in there. :)

    Sweet! Thanks! As much as I've played this game, I totally missed the help section or at least never thought to look there :)

    Nope, you'll have to wait until it's available again. Nonetheless, you'll randomly find Olympus artifacts in other levels sometimes. I've already finished Olympus again, and that counts 3 times :D

    I am challenging it again for the 3rd time. I failed the first one got stuck at the last level. Had my first success during the last one. And hope I can make it again this time. Waiting on energy now as I am half way thru :D

    When in soft launch, there was one of these levels which I only got to 254m and therefore failed the last challenge. It was a real frustration. The key is the cards and gears you set to your character. I finally max-upgraded the gold grenade card, and now I'm upgrading (or at least trying to) the explosive drill gold card. I'm sure that as soon as that one is ready, Demolition Dan will be a weapon of mass destruction :D there's one guy who's reached 1500m in several mines. I'm sure that it is achievable with an upgraded enough character, although I still have to upgrade lots of things to get there.

    You can wait for next week, or you can go to the museum and select "Visit" on the Olympus collection (though this will cost you rubies instead of energy, if you already finished it)

    yeah its puzzling to me how they hit over 1000m. my current loadout thou not something I would call super amazing but I bearly hit over 400m on avg. so 1000m is like miles apart from my current ability. And yes I do agree that the cards and gears combination does make a huge impact

    Pretty sure the 1500m guy used heaps of extended piks with rubies and was a hacker. Impossible otherwise i would say

    I'm getting to 700-750m with 210 hits + 20% modifier, maxed out gold grenade card and explosive drill purple card. The only fast improvement to my load is using the gold explosive drill card maxed out, but I still need 7 cards to fuse them...

    Frustratingly, after buying the energy upgrade I've not been able to take advantage of the extra lives due to constant crashing, the Olympus challenge sounds great but I'm not gonna be able to take part as it's crashing on every run, any artefacts found are not saving but any keys and energy are deducted.

    The first day was ok, a couple of crashes but fully playable, yesteday and today have been really bad, but I can't help myself loading up the game and hoping for a successful run lol.

    What device are you playing on? I get many crashes on my 4S, specially after the run finishes and I go to the screen where you see what you found/earned. Then... BAM! Crashes ahoy. I suspect it's a server-phone connection issue, because I'm in a place with extremely limited and low connectivity. When I'm at home on my wifi, the connection is not too fast, but it's quite stable, so I get less crashes. On my iPad 3 I don't experience any crashes whatsoever, and gameplay is smooth as silk.

    I'm on a mini, I'll switch to my wifi connection and see if that reduces the crashing, I've installed on my galaxy s4 and progress is all there from the cloud so I'm good to go and it's been smooth with. I crashes, but would much rather play on ipad, I reported the crashing via their web page and I had a reply saying an update is due to be released so will just play on phone until then. (I don't have Olympus though)
