Scheduled Temporary Server Maintenance - July 14th
Hey Guys! I'm looking to make a few performance adjustments to the servers. I'm switching things over on Saturday (July 4th) in the afternoon, so there's a chance the servers might be down for a few hours.
Just wanted to give a heads up!
Cheers!

January Update!
Hey guys!
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are kicking 2018 off right. It's been a year since we had Miner Meltdown's first online alpha, and it's crazy to think how far the game has come since then.
A few things to announce:
On Feb 1, the initial "Potato Skin" launch skin will be making a temporary comeback! Play anytime in Feb to unlock this limited edition skin.
Miner Meltdown's soundtrack produced by Bob Baffy is now available on our Steam page. Check it out! It's pretty darn catchy.
I've been working on a new game-mode! It's taking a bit longer than expected, but I'll hopefully have some details on that soon so sit tight! I may need some testers so be sure to join our Discord community.
Also, We're 5 reviews short of hitting that magic 50 number. Reviews good or constructive are always appreciated!
Cheers!!

Santa's here!
HO HO HO, The original Coal Miner himself has arrived, and I think it's safe to say there's been a few naughty miners this year.
Play Miner Meltdown anytime before January 1st to unlock the Coal Miner!
Santa
Also, since it's almost Christmas, anyone who finishes this month in the top 5 on the monthly leaderboard will win a free copy of the Miner Meltdown soundtrack by Bob Baffy.
