This is a pretty fun game, but it does have it series of flaws.

The presentation may not be the best thing ever, but it does give you a very powerful options menu in which you can change almost everything that goes on in the game. You can make your game more difficult or stupidly easy. It is handy since the default setup is too difficult, I couldn't beat any level until I played with the options.

You control a Metool and must find 25 (more or less depending on the options) picks in the level. The pics are hidden under dirt and there are a few arrows pointing in the diredtion some picks are.

You could say this is a mix between Dig-Dug and Minesweeper. You must dig rocks to find more picks. Everytime you touch a square of dirt you dig it an use up a pick. I think it would work better if you actually had to press a button to use the pick to break the soil. Another complaint is that if there is a pick under the dirt you can end up touching it at the same time you touch the dirt and both items will dissapear and since there is no sound effect when you touch the pick you may not realised you got one.

The graphics are pretty good, not perfect, but the main character is well done and even if he's a character from the Megaman universe he is originally drawn. The music is catchy, but there are no sound effects, or at least I didn't hear any.

There is also an enemy that steals your picks, and it's annoying. The way you swing your pick changes depending on the direction you are facing and it's easier to hit your target if you are facing right or left than up or down.

A good thing about this game is that everytime you play you play an unique level, created randomly, so if you end up liking this game, this will up the replayability up a lot. Some (easier) pre-made levels would have been nice too.

Originality saves this game from getting a 6. the flaws are not annoying but keep this game from greatness.
