Evaluation

Miner Meltdown launched out of Early Access on August 2, 2017, and received several updates in the following years. The developer (Mighty Pebble Games) shipped a steady stream of feature patches and content updates through 2017 and into 2018, including a new game mode (Diamond Dash) in April 2017, the full 1.0 launch with the Crazy King game mode in August 2017, and a seasonal Christmas update in December 2018. In January 2018, the developer mentioned working on a new game mode, but no follow-up announcement or release of that content was ever made. In August 2019, publisher Throwback Entertainment acquired the game and expressed interest in taking it to "new heights and platforms." On January 7, 2020, Throwback ran community play date events — the last official communication from either the developer or publisher on record. Since that date (January 7, 2020), there have been no further announcements, updates, patches, or developer communications of any kind. The one DLC listed — the official soundtrack — was released on January 9, 2018, and no further DLC has been announced or released. Given that the most recent developer-side communication was on January 7, 2020, and no content or platform expansions promised by Throwback ever materialized, the game appears to have reached the end of its active support cycle. It remains purchasable and playable as a complete product.

About this game


Miner Meltdown is a 2D team-based online competitive multiplayer game. Scour the map for minerals, upgrade your gear, and attempt to blow up the opposing team all the while avoiding monsters, traps, and environmental pitfalls along the way. Maps are randomly generated and 100% destructible, so every match is a fully unique, fast-paced, and chaotic affair.




  • 4 vs 4 online multiplayer
  • Randomly generated and 100% destructible terrain
  • Over 20 unique weapons and gadgets to choose from
  • Fast-paced gameplay using ropes and jetpacks to move around the map with ease.
  • Bots, so you can play online or solo
  • "Deathmatch", "Crazy King" & "Diamond Dash" game-types
  • Tons of thrust-dancing

Two teams of 4 spawn on opposite sides of the randomly generated mine. Players must explore the map in search for gold, which can be used to purchase better weapons and equipment. Teams that collect more gold will generally have an edge in battle.

Teams collect points by killing enemy players, or neutral monsters. The team with the most points at the end of the round is victorious.

Gameplay is fast-paced, so hold onto your butts.
