Takes forever to get started with minute long ups, minute long downs, with a light that ticks down and gets smaller the longer your in the mine, so you'll be struggling to see for your twenty things to bring up slowly... figured it might be a slow burn game, but then... entire map becomes hard to spot quick sand traps and rocks that instant kill you and delete your inventory. Things also cost a ridiculous amount so...
