Horrible game. Absolutely sexist - you cannot even chose the gender of the mine cart. The grammar is horrible (e.g. "didn't tried"). The game makes fun of my most favourite movie series TWILIGHT. The explosions come nowhere close to Michael Bay. I only wanted to hurt myself using my mouse 5 times.

Havent played for too much, but for the small amount of time, 12hrs, as of writting this, I think I can give it something here.
Honestly can't complain or be against a 2-3$ price tag on a game you can just spend way too many hours on, clearly lol. The levels feel balanced, the way to unlock is good, and there seems to be a decent amount to the levels and difficulty. You can also go back and redo levels to get better scores.
The playing itself can get rough but its not overly hard, simplistic and fun! Reminds me alot of another game from years ago, 'Pipe Dream'. Beat the timer, progress! Random pieces, make a path! The random mode may restart you to level 1 upon restart or time end, but its fun and theres no score in the way, think fast! If you plan ahead, putting pieces where a path could go does help with planning and beating timers.
Lastly? While there seems to be echos of a story, its all mock, fun and silly with alot of it or most of it is actually pretty funny! Each level has commentary before you start. xD
And developers? Nice notes at the end! Alot of games don't go that far at the end credits - esspecially smaller titles like this. I enjoyed it, great work and keep it up!

What can I say, I found this in my queue one day and said it looks pretty cool... OH Was I wrong about my initial expectations...
I thought this was gonna be a little relaxing train style game (My 2nd Favorite Theme behind Pirates). I figured you would be given a limited supply of track pieces and you would have to try to make it all work, Oh no... this is RANDOM pieces and one you run out of time the minecart moves... It reminds me of the Old game "Pipe Dream", I first played on 8bit NES but later got it for PC with some updated graphics...
This game is FUN!!!! But it is at a VERY VERY FAST PACE.... Almost breakneck speeds, I will have to work on it over time but I have to recommend if you like routing games and are good under pressure get this game!!! If you are terrible under pressure you may want to take a pass on this game...
NOTE to the Dev:
#1 I enjoy the game, however I wish there was a "difficulty" selector that could affect the "Speed/Pressure" aspect like maybe give Easy - 3 Mins / Normal - 1-2 Mins / Hard .5-1 Mins and with that you could add Achievements for completing on each difficulty... This would also allow users to get a feel for the the game on the easy mode and not get discouraged...
#2 It took me a few tries to figure out how to beat the 1st level, just a little more info on that 1st infographic about what to do... might help a little also...

Seems like it could be fun, but from the first level I was having difficulty. The randomness of the tracks you're given made it really difficult to complete the level, and I gave up after 4 attempts. To be fair, I was expecting something nice and relaxing, not a fast-paced, timed game. This wasn't the game I expected. (I thought you would be given a certain number of track pieces and had to work out how to place them in such a way as to complete the level). But this was entirely my fault, I didnt look at the videos properly.
If you like fast-paced puzzle games, this is definitely a great game.
My only actual gripe is that in the settings for the game, when I turned the audio off, it still didn't actually turn off. So that could do with being fixed.
TL;DR: Good, fast-paced puzzle game. Volume settings need to be fixed.

Little Gold Miner is a fun little track laying game where you try and get a mine cart from the entrance to the exit with a time limit.
It is reminiscent of the old pipe type games on windows in what you need to do, but the graphics are good, the game is fun and I like Train based games and this one has that type of theme.
This game is worth playing, there are a couple of minor grammatical errors that you notice, but overall it is well done, fun and an enjoyable game.
