An upcoming adventure-strategy game from Digital Chocolate. Seems very promising! The Java Mobile version got 9 + gold award. The game concept seems to be that you have a limited amount of turns/energy to find as much gold as possible from each level while avoiding dangers like: bats, collapses, lava & ice.

There used to be an old PC game much like this (digging for gold, but without the dangers of bats, lava, etc.). I forgot the name but does anyone else remember it? This was like 15 years ago. Anyway, this looks good.
This does look fun, it actually reminds me a bit of the concept behind the PC game, Oasis: http://www.oasisgame.com/ No connection in theme but the idea of a turn based game of exploration with only a limited number of moves allowed so you need to make the most out of every move. Any updates on when it might hit the streets?
i was going to buy this hands down cause it was going to be the closest motherload clone that was to come out, but then i dig it came out.... i may pick this up in a few weeks
