Rip-off of Timberman that replaces the (more logical) tree trunks and branches with ore textures that look like they've been ripped straight from a 32x32 minecraft texture pack.

Probably the single most shallow title I have played on Steam, and while it's my fault for not double-checking: I'm more than a little sore that the trailer is cut in a way that makes it appear there may be competitive multiplayer when it is a single-screen, one-player, two-button game with absolutely no variability. The very first five moves will be identical to those an hour in, and nothing changes. Period.

There is even an identical product by the developer on Steam with a few sprites changed.

I can't refund someone else's gift, but I can warn as many of you away from playing a game that involves absolutely nothing but "taptaptaptaptaptap" over and over until boredom sets in, with no rewards or variables whatsoever.

1/10 - Cheap Clone of Timberman. Don't Waste The Buck. Cash Grab Game.

I specifically purchased this game thinking it would be another edition of Timberman. Unfortunately, this game fell completely flat! There are no achievements, multiplayer, less characters to unlock. You will simply mine blocks by yourself for about 5-20 minutes or much less until you get bored.

I really don't respect this kind of cash grab. This game is copying a really awesome game, not adding anything of substance. Any thumbs down on negative reviews are just trolls or possibly the developer trying to keep the cash flow rolling.

The developer 'Anarchy Enterprises' has a bunch of crappy games with exceptionally low ratings. They do have 1 title that is positively rated "Kickass Comandos" but I am going to boycott that as well. When you constantly make steaming turds for games eventually the ♥♥♥♥ will come back to you.

Overall, this is ONLY good for $0.15 of card drops. I would factor that into the decision to buy or play this one. But Don't!

Miner Mayhem is is a clone of the popular game Timberman.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/398710/
It is one of the two clones of that game Anarchy Enterprises released on Steam. The other one is called Tiki Man. http://store.steampowered.com/app/376920/ Both of them lack all of the things that make Timberman an enjoyable game, including:

• Local/Split-screen multiplayer
  
• Online multiplayer
  
• Achievements
  
• Controller support
  
• Trading cards, backgrounds, emotes
  
• Steam cloud
  
• Leaderboards
  
• 16:9 resolution support

It's a lazy attempt to clone a popular game, with terrible Minecraft-like graphics.

My full review can be found here.[www.the-backlog.net]

Let me tell you a story. A story of a miner - we'll name him George - who was bored of his regular mining life. He wanted tod o something different, something that most would even consider to be impossible. George wanted to dig into an infite pillar of ore! Oh but of course they told him no, because that's just silly! George would have none of it, and thus he started to have a Miner Mayhem.

Miner Mayhem is basically a clicker game where you need to move the mouse back and forth, avoiding the pieces jutting out of the ore, all while you try and get as high of a score as you can. Interesting in concept, and it does work... Just not in this game. A game like this desparately needs the ability to click both the right and left mouse buttons, not just the left. The sensitivity on where you can click got me killed more times than I can count. You can unlock additional skins for the miner depending on how you perform in the game, but that's all they are - skins. They don't do anything special or different for you.

Skip Miner Mayhem and go play better titles (like Timberman). Tell poor George that his dreams are hopeless, all thanks to the TOO minimal controls within his poor game. He also needs to not go after ore that looks like it is straight out of Minecraft, and if he really wants to then he should just go play Minecraft instead.

Just like Timberman but instead of chopping trees, your minning.. Pretty much a clone just a different dev.

Like Timberman you are chopping a tree, however this time the tree is made out of ores, braches are stone, and you use a pickaxe.

+ Same general appeal that Timberman has, it's more or less a race to mine as much as you can before the meter runs out while also trying to avoid running into the branches.
+ plenty of characters to unlock

- The gameplay is too simplistic, you just press left or right arrow
- More or less a mobile port
- Pretty much a clone of Timberman
- Doesn't make a whole lot of sense...you are basically mining a vertical tower of ores...

~ I feel like this game would be better if you were avoiding lava instead of cobblestone... it would make more sense especially considering that this game was influenced by Minecraft


Overall I'd say if you liked Timberman and want a different theme this is a good game for you, however I'd definitely recommend Timberman over this, and do not support the blatant copying of other games.

The developers of Miner Mayhem did nothing more than slap a Minecraft-style coat of paint on Timberman: The sprites have the same style, the gameplay is exactly the same, and the backgrounds are a lot more ugly than Timberman. Timberman costs the same as this garbage, actually had some originality in it, and had a lot more challenges and multiplayer. Get it instead of this.

It has a local high score, which is nice, I suppose, but the different characters don't do anything, and some of them require so much to unlock, I don't know why people would bother. It's obviously a mobile game that was then put on Steam, but it's done well enough. It's just not fun for more than 15 minutes, if you even get that much time out of it, and when I ran it, it made my computer sound like it was taking off, despite it not being anything close to graphically intensive.

It was ok...
