🕹️ How to Play – Motherload

1. Dig for Resources

Use Arrow keys to move and drill. Head downward through Martian soil to mine ores, gems, and secrets.

2. Manage Fuel and Damage

Watch your fuel gauge and hull integrity — running out of either means death (and possibly a costly repair bill).

3. Sell What You Collect

Return to the surface to sell minerals, repair your hull, and refuel. More valuable gems = more cash!

4. Upgrade Your Rig

Buy upgrades like bigger fuel tanks, stronger drills, faster engines, and better cargo holds to dig deeper and earn faster.

5. Dig Deeper… But Be Prepared

The further down you go, the tougher the rock and the more valuable the loot — but also more dangerous.

Motherload – Tips & Tricks

⛽ Fuel First — upgrade your fuel tank early. Getting stranded deep underground is a costly mistake.

💰 Prioritize Cargo Space — the more you can carry, the fewer trips you need to make.

💣 Use Bombs Wisely — explosives help with tough rock or tight corners, but they’re expensive — and dangerous.

🔋 Balance Upgrades — don’t overspend on speed without upgrading drill strength — you’ll just hit walls faster.

📦 Plan Your Dig Routes — mine efficiently to avoid missing valuable pockets or getting trapped.

🛠️ Repair Often — a cracked hull can kill you instantly if you hit a hard fall or explosion.

❗ Something’s Waiting Below — if the ground shakes or strange messages appear… pay attention. The deeper layers hold secrets.
