Into the Slimy Mines digs its own path through the crowded strategy landscape, blending tower defence, deckbuilding, and roguelike progression into an addictive underground adventure. It occasionally stumbles over repetition and some frustrating late-game surprises, but its charm and creativity make it difficult to put down.

Equal parts cosy road trip, physics sandbox, and ode to Japanese car culture, it delivers plenty of smiles even when its ideas begin to repeat themselves. It may not lift itself into puzzle game greatness, but it certainly carries its weight.
