Of course this completely reminds me of Lemmings and the plethora of flash games using similar mechanics.
What I would like to see is a roguelike version, where you wake up as a survivor and as you find others you start making a team snaking behind you. I could even see this as a snake variant and instead of apples you find exits. Nimble Quest is a snake-like RPG where you gather a team as your tail. I don't see any reason why this couldn't be "reskinned" with a mining theme.
~~Sounds like Nimble Quest, maybe? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nimblebit.nimblequest It's pixel, not voxel though, and I don't remember how you unlock new characters but I think the main way is by beating challenges~~
Actually I think this one is it -- it's voxel.

Nimble Quest. This was Nimblebit's first game, and they only made p2w shovelware after it, because they found that it makes about 1000% more money than a good game. Play it and buy the gem upgrade because it helps a lot and only costs a couple bucks.

When I worked at a call centre I played a lot of Nimble Quest in my downtime. It's basically a snake clone turned into a dungeon crawler. Easy to put down and pick back up.
No-one giving any love for 'Nimble Quest'? Great arcade game with progression and Nimblebit's brilliant retro-vibe.
It's a brilliant cartoon RPG remake of the old Snake game that for so many of us was the first game we played on a phone.
There's this fun re-imagining of Snake with fantasy RPG elements: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nimblebit.nimblequest
Was it Nimble Quest?

Weird, I couldn't find it by searching the play store. Had to Google it.
