It sure is a tough life pulling minecarts around. The deadlines are pretty strict but you can't drive too fast or you'll spill valuable gold and gems all over the mine.

Press D to go faster, A to slow down and reverse.

Please consider downloading rather than running in the applet. The performance will likely be bad and if you have a newer version of Java you'll have problems with the security settings.

This seems to run pretty well on Windows. On Mac and Linux you'll probably need to set a few jvm flags:

I'd recommend trying the following two options:

java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar miner_matter.jar

or

java -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true -jar miner_matter.jar

----- Mac Users -----

If the game runs pretty slowly try this:

java -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=true -jar miner_matter.jar
