This is a game heavily inspired by the classic flash game "Motherload", made in Unity with several modifications and my own twist. It is a shorter and easier experience than the original, completable within an hour. I tried to replicate the feel of controlling the vehicle as best as I could, but aside from that I took a lot of creative liberties.

This game was the result of a month-long side project. Work ranged from 30 minutes to a few hours a day. It was a personal project to recreate a game that I love and hopefully learn something along the way. The primary goal was to learn about game scope and workload, and judging by the obvious feature omissions, I learned a lot. Everything in this project was done independently, without the use of third-party assets.

Besides game breaking bugs, I don't plan to make any updates to this. I may attach a mini post-mortem at some point for reference. 

If you enjoyed this game and would like to play the original, please support the original developers "XGen Studios" by purchasing Motherload Goldium or Super Motherload on Steam. You can play the free version of Motherload here on Miniclip.com.
