Super Motherload

You work for the Solarus Corporation, operating a mining pod on Mars in an alternate Cold War era. As you dig through the planet to harvest resources, you begin to uncover a mystery beneath the surface.

Drill through layers of terrain, collect and combine minerals, and use explosives to solve puzzles and reach valuable deposits. Quests and boss encounters add challenges beyond mining.

Spend your haul on pod upgrades and supplies as you progress, and find special abilities with randomly available options. Play solo or in local, same-screen co-op for up to four players; story choices lead to multiple endings.

Players who enjoy Super Motherload often praise its relaxed, absorbing digging and the appeal of revisiting the original Motherload, which is included. Some also enjoy playing co-op and solving mineral-combination puzzles. Reactions are mixed, with recurring complaints about crashes, unclear upgrades, and progression or boss-fight frustrations.
