About Danger Mine
Danger Mine was inspired by top games Plants versus Zombies and Jetpack Joyride. Developed for mobile, it can be described as part team management, part endless runner. The game is published by Sugra Games, my own start up games studio.

Core Game Play
The core of the game consists of entering a mine, placing characters, collecting loot, defeating oncoming enemies and avoiding cliffs and obstacles. You command a team of mining vehicles in a wacky races style adventure under the ground. Players will race through Aztec, Volcanic caves, lost ice cities and ancient Egyptian ruins as they mine for gold, diamonds and precious treasures.
Progression
Players can earn titles and level up by playing missions, earn treasures by leveling up, beat their highscore by travelling further distances and collect characters in the shop by earning enough gold or diamonds to purchase them.
