The gameplay of Miner Mayhem has been criticized for being nearly identical to Timberman, with no significant innovations or improvements, and the visual presentation is considered less appealing.
“The developers of Miner Mayhem did nothing more than slap a Minecraft-style coat of paint on Timberman: the sprites have the same style, the gameplay is exactly the same, and the backgrounds are a lot more ugly than Timberman.”
