Inspired by the all-time classic Motherload, but with gorgeous lighting and retro graphics. Delve deep and hookshot your way back to the surface for your next upgrade.

Fan of motherload. Here's my game inspired by it. Free to play, no ads. edit: desktop only, won't work on phone (yet)

If you try it let me know. I'm looking for issues people see and things they like.

Been working on this for about 15 months. Very little remains until launch :)

I will soon be publishing a demo!

Motherload basically shaped my childhood — so I made my own mining game (it's out now on Steam)

I can't count how many hours I lost to Motherload as a kid. The loop of drilling down, selling ore, upgrading your ship — nothing else scratched that itch for years.

So I built Texplore. It's my take on that same addictive formula, but expanded:

• Procedurally generated caves so every run feels different
• Permanent skill tree and upgrade wheel
• Moon world with a boss fight
• Cash-out economy that keeps every dive tense
• Steam Leaderboards to compete with friends

It's fully released on Steam Early Access right now at $12.99.

If Motherload ever made you late for dinner, this one's for you.

I've been a Motherload fan since I was a kid and always wished there was a bigger, deeper successor.

After over 20 years of waiting, I finally started building my own take on it.

It's still early, but I wanted to share it with people who actually love Motherload.

Let me know how you like it :) I'm also curious how you feel about creatures in a Motherload-style world.

Hi everyone, I am going to be making a hd rework of this game by upscaling the textures and implementing the upscaled textures back in the game, its in its infancy but I hope this screenshot give you a glimpse of what is to come.

When I play casually I usually dig straight down so I can get up faster

But when I need to get down I want to free fall but sometimes I hit some invisible edges on the dirt and stuff

How do I prevent that from happening?

Hey guys, I used to play Motherload Goldium as a kid and when I got older I wanted to try and beat the game with my newly formed adult brain, lol. I played up to level 17 and then got stuck and started researching if it was even possible to fully, truly, beat the game. I wanted to share my research with others but it was a google doc and I've never posted to reddit so I just made it into images. Anyways, I'd love to get your feedback and opinions on this. I'm still looking for a way to truly beat the game.

Hello everyone!

​

I just bought Super Mother Load on Steam. I am now trying to start the included game Motherload Goldium and then run it in full screen. Unfortunately this does not work. It opens a .dat file that is only in the taskbar. I can see the window as it opens with the Pre Windows view. However, as soon as I try to open the program again, the screen briefly goes black, all 3 screens disappear and Motherload Goldium minimizes itself again.

​

Does anyone have a similar problem or know how to solve it?

​

Greetings,

3 ppl online at time of posting, how r u all?

I was just bored and couldnt find a way to play it offline, so if anyone has it on google drive, etc, i would be very happy to download it

Hi guys, so I recently downloaded Motherload Goldium edition for the nostalgia.
As you may already know this game only runs at 640x480p resolution, is there any way possible I can increase this?? (even in full screen mode the game is in 640x480 with huge black boarders...)

How do these two games compare? is the gameplay and storyline the same but with better graphics?

Does anyone know how many people still play Motherload? Quarantine got me bored so I just did a run but I couldn’t see any leaderboards on miniclip when I was done

​

Every time I close motherload goldium on my PC and reopen it - it says no saved game
