About Miners 4k

Love it or hate it – that seems to be the consensus. Some people are saying it’s too hard, but you can take that up with the original author – this port uses the same difficulty parameters setup in 06’ – besides if the game was too easy it wouldn't be challenging and fun?

Various port's of miners 4k are floating around out there - this version has no special permissions required, compatible on most devices, and IMHO most authentic to the original. It also includes native code so that the amount of miners can be increased to over 1,000.

The goal of Miners is to dig tunnels that lead the Miners to the gold, then back to the starting position again. The miners are simple creatures:

*Miners will walk straight forward until they hit a wall or get bored.
*When a miner hits gold, he will pick up a chunk of the gold, but only if he isn't already carrying some gold.
*If a miner carrying gold enters either starting platform, he will drop the gold there.
*When a miner faces a steep cliff in front of him, there's a 66% chance he will try to jump over it.
*After a miner has hit a wall and changed direction, there's a 66% he will jump back in the direction he came from.
*A miner that falls more than 100 pixels will die.

People can't read these days, this is a port, not an original game. The person that has this on the app store didn't make the game originally he only made it work on mobile devices. Don't expect any new tools or game changing updates. Notch made the game (yes the minecraft notch) it's supposed to be hard and fun and cute and nostalgic stop asking for it to be easier. Go download it free on your computer if you can't handle the controls here.

I had to stop interacting with people to be able to play, because it would just go back to start if I even put my phone down for a few minutes. Other than that, it was a great game. BTW I closed my eyes at night and saw those creatures walking and jumping around. Good job.

After a recent Android update this app's UI doesn't respond (game plays out fast but can't dig or use zoom control). Whilst technically broken by Google updates, low rating because its not being maintained. Even if it is Notches source code.

Make the god damn thing possible to get out of the hole. ( ・∀・)b OK! ಠ╭╮ಠ. (T^T). I'm so disappointed. (ó ì_í)=óò=(ì_í ò)

Can't get past levels because there's a glitch on the screen that won't allow miners to drop off gold. Problem started on level 5. Was fun before that.

love this game, but anytime i try play the game and someone calls the game exits and doesn't save this can be very frustrating after a long time getting my gold. please add an auto save feature and a save feature

No save button :( I'm really disappointed as I really enjoyed the first 6 levels! How the hell are u meant to collect that much gold without your battery dieing

Q70%
by Q####:

Well is a cool game. Why not? A game from the creator of minecraft! but its hard with the miners. In a lil Hole the whole system collapses. And pleeeeeaaaaaasssssseee add ladders so it will be much more easy. Anyways good job.

K70%
by K####:

The game is fun but if you switch away then back then you have to restart the level, so on the longer ones are almost impossible unless you can devote a chunk of time to the game. Also, if a timer or reminder goes off then it will also restart your level

Q70%
by Q####:

The game resets if you leave the app via a call or nav to another app on android. Level 7 will take a day to complete unless I'm missing something. You should not leave the game if you pause and tap the screen, maybe a confirmation. Also, the game resets when the phn locks, lame!

Most poorly executed implementation of this idea I've ever seen. Still fun for an hour or so though. Its free, so whatever.

E70%
by E####:

Enjoyed playing this game, I got to level 7 quite easily, I would love to complete that level too except I don't have enough the time to do so and can't save. Unfortunately as it is power hungry I got booted out when power saver kicked in and lost all progress. :(

Cant get passed level 5 the wide-screen is malfunctioning URGENT FIX and Needs a endless practise and more setting etc hole size ,ladders and able to draw a straight line asap and I'll rate 5***** but it is an amazingly entertaining one of the best games I've played EVER!!!!!!

by Q####:

I like the concept a lot but its so difficult to control the miners. Also seems a little unresponsive ocassionally. I want to like it, but its difficult to.

Really tough and the "lemmings" are ultra stupid. If there was a longer time limit that would be great.

Was looking forward to this but installed it and it simply doesn't work. Disappointed.

Q70%
by Q####:

This game only goes to level 7.to complete level 7 you have to collect the gold from the bottom and can only place the gold on the right hand side so dig a clear space when down there, allow miners to still touch the gold. The mission is getting down to the bottom the gold quickly adds up. Dont let your screen time out.

Q70%
by Q####:

The time is very small and the miners are stupid they can't jump well

Q70%
by Q####:

It just takes longer than it let's you to complete. Please let it give you unlimited time!!!

I70%
by I####:

But... the controls should be smoother to make it easier to draw straight lines... now its hard to get the miners back up... and to get that amount of gold needed the time is WAYS to short. Then in the "rock" levels the rocks are randomly created, witch is somehow cool but if they r badly created you wont pass the level. In total this game could become GREAT. just ad these things plz!!!!

This is the worst game ever made you need to fix the coding for the minors and the choppyness of the digging and filling. Then I'll reinstall it

Fun game but the levels are a bit long. I dream of miners now.

X70%
by X####:

You can't pause it and start where you paused at. It makes you start the level all over again, other then that, it's a pretty fun game. I'll rate higher when/if that gets fixed.

I enjoy the game bit of strategy to it. Level 7 is just way too long with no ability to save or pause. I reached 10,000 gold and stopped because it took so long just to get a tenth of the way

Really addictive even though its hard. You need to put a save option as I lost my progress on level 7.. I was on 5000+ points :( took me ages! The games goes back to the home screen to easily.

K70%
by K####:

You can't save or fast forwards a level. I give up on level 7 as it's way too long, I made several attempt to complete and wasted over 6 hour for the 800 miners to collect the 99999 gold. Level 7 needs more miners or fast forwards / a save button! I would have given 5 stars.

F70%
by F####:

Level 3 is significantly harder than level 2 and it is hard to create a straight line. Also, needs ability to Resume game. If you have been playing on a level for a few minutes and someone calls you or you need to access another app momentarily your game is gone;you can't resume it.

by K####:

I had no problems with the game whatsoever. Easy enough to beat all the levels till 7 which I assume is just a fun time killing level. I was at 5000 gold before i closed the game. People having troubles getting the miners back to the top aren't doing their lines properly. After fiddling around on lvl one I learned proper techniques to get the miners to the gold and back with out problems.

Absolutely love lemmings...but...this game is just way to hard. My 10 and 8 year olds lost interest quickly and so did I. I even got up early this morning to try and master it but after 2 hours was still finding it difficult. Think the developer needs to realize that people in general love a challenge but mostly want to win and move on to the next level. Its a childhood memory for me playing Lemmings on the old boxy computer. Maybe if you look at others reviews you will see some of what I am saying.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING SO GOOD IF U LIKE PEOPLE WITH GREEN HAIR THIS GAME FOR U ITS TO EASY AND FUN I PLAYED THIS FOR TWO HOURS (2 mins) I WAS EVEN LATE FOR COLLEGE AND THE BEST BIT IT HAS A NEW ZOOM BUTTON (joke its crap)

H70%
by H####:

Could be as good as Lemmings, maybe need some tools on there, giving you the ability to draw straight lines or something. I have a tablet and struggled with intricate work, I think you would really struggle enjoying this game on a phone. I enjoy it so I'm keeping it installed. Looking forward to seeing where you take it.

Game was hard but good. Bit of an anti climax though when finish the bonus level 8. Expected more considering the amount of gold you need to get.

Pleas fix.

Y70%
by Y####:

Really fun but it doesn't keep my phone screen on unless I keep moving my screen and then I lose all progress

K70%
by K####:

Has anyone actually done level 7.you really need a save option as you'd be there too long for the amount of gold to collect
