Thinking back to those days, there were no smartphones at that time. I would hold a NES controller and play the pixel-style gold digging game all night long. At that time, the picture was blurry like a mosaic, but we couldn't help it and we had a great time! Think about it, it would have been nice to have a game to play at that time, unlike today, when young people have hundreds of games on their phones and don't know which one to choose.
The game "Little Miner", I got hooked on it the first time I played it, and I almost pierced the screen of my phone😆. At first glance, it looks similar to what it was like when I was a kid, it's all about mining, but once you get started, you'll see, good guy, it's completely different from the same era!
The picture quality is HD now. The mine is so deep and the diamonds and gems are so sparkling that it can blind my presbyopia. Moreover, the mines are randomly generated, and the game will be the same every time you play. It's not like we used to, where we could pass the game by just memorizing a few pictures and closing our eyes. This game can really make you addicted to no end. If you don't have any self-control, don't dig holes casually, otherwise you will still be digging there at dawn, hahaha. 🎮
What moved me, an old player, the most? It supports external controllers! Don't you think so? When I first started mining with a touch screen, I was always in a hurry and almost dropped my phone. When I connected the controller, oh wow, it felt right, as if I was back to the summer of playing games on the sofa twenty years ago. This manufacturer is quite knowledgeable, Taoteng Interactive Technology, the name is a bit hard to pronounce, but they are on the right track, and they have a firm grip on the obsession of veteran players.
As for the music, it's very brisk. It jingles when mining, and it's very pleasant to match the BGM. And it's a free game! Yes, you heard it right, zero yuan! In this era where krypton money is common, I am so embarrassed that I feel guilty. 😭
Compared with modern games, there are many so-called sandbox games now. There are many things, but they give you a bunch of complicated construction systems and synthesis formulas. Playing a game is like going to work, which is tiring! "Little Miner" is different. It returns to the most original joy of the game, which is digging! Dig down! Dig for treasure! After digging this mine tunnel and then digging that one, this simple and pure feeling of pleasure is engraved in the DNA of us gamers.
Don't think that the simple graphics are not eye-catching. This kind of "digging" type of game is actually becoming less and less now. If we really want to trace the origin, then we old players who have played all the way from "Gold Digger" have seen the world. Now I can relive the classic gameplay in a mobile game, and also add so many modern technology optimizations. It feels like reuniting with an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, and I still have such a tacit understanding when I meet.
Not much to say, I have to continue digging diamonds, otherwise my friends on the ranking list will surpass my progress again😂. In short, whether you are a veteran like me who is nostalgic, or you are a young and adventurous person, "Little Miner" is worth your hour of traffic. We'll see you in the mine, remember to wear your helmet! ⛏️
