What? Okay so it was really fun at first but then it automatically took me to rooms in random parts of the mine that I hadn't discovered yet. It basically played the game for me. I don't know how anyone could have enjoyed this game. The high ratings suggest maybe not everyone had this problem? I saw at least one review of someone who had the same experience as me though. If that glitch was taken care of I would rate it a good solid four stars. I loved the sound effects and artwork. Text was hard to read.

Short but nice adventure game I have discovered everything and it was very fun to see all this lore in 5 minutes. Side note: In the spider section is the contract really from Mikin or was that a mistake. In the forced cave-in that not even a packaxe can dig through, it says maybe there's another way, is there?

Well done The artwork is amazing, and the background music really adds a sense of adventure to the game. The text is difficult to read, and the order should be text/artwork/buttons instead of text/buttons/artwork. It gets annoying having to tap the screen 4 times to look at the image before making a selection. All in all, the fame is very well done, though I beat the game in about 5 minutes, I still enjoyed it. I wait eagerly for the sequel, and hope that it's longer.

AHHHHH I loVED IT UALFGAKGWKAGWKA!!! It was so fun and engaging, drew me right in and captivated me for the little while that it lasted. Definitely short, but extremely well produced, from realistic background noises and voices and sound effects to atmospheric music that added to the ambiance!!! I really want to know how the story goes on, I look forward to a sequel and If it was a bit longer I would even ask my Dad if we could buy it (if it costed money)! I enjoyed this game a bunch and recommend it.

Great game. Despite the fact that the game was quite short, it was elegant and bueatiful in it's own way. A great game with a simple, elegant pencil art style. Prefect to pass time. Be mindful that replay ability is low, unless you want to know exactly how many you can die and how badly you can fail the quest of living.

Sourcefed Nerd?? When I started playing I noticed some resemblances to the Sourcefed Nerd D&D series! The art work is very well done! I just wish the game was longer, because I finished in less than a minute! Great job over all though!😊

The story is short, but the illustration used is great. However, the game can get repetitive if you lose, since you'll have to start all over from the beginning again and there is no save point. Also, after you beat the goblin, the game pretty much guides you through itself. I didn't even dicover the artifact room by myself. Along with that, you sometimes can't leave a room after you enter. If you don't have the right tool, it's an automatic game over.
Short but sweet PROS: Classic CYOA gameplay. Good artwork and soundtrack. Routes you've already taken are marked and the game will auto-move you to the last remaining path, which saves busywork. CONS: Incredibly short. The light blue text on grayscale background is hard to read. Gameplay leans toward the "find a path through the deathtraps by trial and error" style, which some will loathe. VERDICT: Good.
Very well done but a few small complaints. The text colour is terrible. It's very hard to read. It's also very short. But even though I finished the game after only three tries it's beautifully illustrated and the music adds a very nice feel to it. All in all very well produced.
I loved the art style and music, someone evidently put a lot of effort into this. However, it would be good to have save points to avoid restarting every time you die and it really needs a back button if you go down a path then change your mind and want to go back to the previous screen.
You had to inform me in the first place that the goblin have a crossbow (or AK-47 for example) so I can have a chance to make the right decision. Otherwise this is a game of luck.
Worst font ever Terribly unreadable font and a bit too old school for it's own good. Hand drawn images. Quite terrible.
Terrible. I don't care that it was short. I care that it led me to choices and to rooms I had never visited before. In that respect it fails as even a 10 minute choose your own adventure. Not worth even the free download.
A look at what's to come??? I loved it, great story, art, music, sound. As a fan of D & D, Talisman, and fantasy this was a great little treat. Is this mine a small part of the 2D world to hopefully come from these nice folks who made this great choose your own adventure game? I believe so. If you are up tight about spending your 99 cents on great art and great story game play but short, don't bother. But I have a great feeling we hopefully are going to see more of this cool dwarf and his magical hammer. Thanks for the fun game, more!
Its really kool concept but... It was really cool but, it only took me two trys to finish it. I personally think it was way to short, an therefore boring.
Short But Sweet The interactive quality of music, the sound effects, and the illustrations had a unique and excellent touch! The text color was not as easy to read, the system messages for acquired items seemed annoying, and tapping of choice bubbles didn't feel like the smoothest way to play. Though I beat it in all but 2 tries within 10 minutes, it's worth a short adventure.
Graphics and music great. Controls weak, lag time, and lack of choice options cause it to fail.
Short but good Proves you don't need stats and skill trees and now I must uninstall (sadly).
Wasn't bad, but it felt like I was being railroaded with no side options or alternative endings. Felt a bit empty. Also, what kind of Game Master doesn't warn the player those are no ordinary fragile animated skeletons? What I learned during my adventures is that crushing a skeleton's skull always solves the problem, even if temporarily!
Great mechanics and fun charming game Simple controls means safe passage through mikins mine is not frustrating. The audio and art will keep you engaged while you explore to keep alive.
Great game Very reminiscent of old text based adventure games, no save but that adds to the charm
Awesome app! Very interesting, intriguing storyline with some incredible artwork! Great character name choices. Very cool to be able to obtain objects throughout then use them later on! I'd recommend this app to any RPG gamer, or medieval fan! Great work guys! Looking forward to Brune's next journey. Choose your path wisely!
The artwork is outstanding Amazing art very fun and simple to play game. Seems a little short with terms of getting thru it would've liked it be longer when on the main path. But for 99 cents it's 100% worth it. Looking foward to more from them.
Bad Design. Why is the no choice to go back the way you came? If you enter a room (like the chest room) and all the subsequent options are death then your not "choosing a path" can't even exit the room... stupid
Stupid Had to restart eight from the beginning everytime my phone switched to 'sleep' mode and then completed the whole story in less than 20 screens..
freakin' short but I believe you have long future plans ahead...can't wait..the art's great, but could you change the font's and button's color, it' s a bit of an eye sore
Good job! A quick little text game. Nothing flashy, just a good short story that will hopefully be continued!
Too short, and easy Died once and then proceeded to steamroll through, totally destroying replayability
So it wasn't too bad at first but I got to a stage where it was actually impossible to succeed because the game glitches out
Amazing Great everything!!!! I can't wait for more stories to come out like this and if it's ok with you I'm going to use this a small campaign for my D&D group
Fantastic This game is amazing. It took me a couple tries to reach the end but the story along the way was definitely worth it. 10/10
Good story, good game I'm just sad it went by so quickly.
Good I liked this game but it was a little to easy no puzzles to solve and I was able to go through it with common logic but the story was interesting and the setting was great I am looking forward to future installments
Great but... Needs more content. Was very engaging until it ended soon after beginning! Keep up the good work, I hope you add more to this story!
Not for the colorblind Impossible to read light green text on grey artwork makes this game unplayable.
Closing the app loses progress. Pointless to play if you can't take a break from it to deal with reality concerns.
A text adventure dwarfs skeletons oh my! Very well done text with great art work to enhace the adventure. Definitely fun, looking forward to the next chapter.
Amazing I like it; it was well done, so many ways to go, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. When is part 2 coming out?
Great game The art work is spectacular and the music just adds to the atmosphere of it. Though short I loved it and hope the creators make more or something longer.
Fun, but too short It's a great game. Creator was very creative in this game making this game. Can you guys make another one but a longer version?
