I gave it a try the other day and really enjoyed it! Really nice cartoon art style / setting. The above-ground portion of the game feels like a solid clone of the Anno series games. Then below ground adds a fun twist of exploration / resource gathering into the mix.
Really looking forward to when it releases now!
Thanks for unlocking a memory for me! I played so much motherlode — I think my friend and I discovered it in the school computer lab. It had a great soundtrack too!
