Little Timmy fell down the well AGAIN? No no Lassie, you stay here. I got this.&quot;\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great idea, I like the wobbling of the lift and the upgrade system. Firing rate seems a bit slow for an assault rifle and it's a bit confusing that the bullet stream is always visible even when you're not really firing. Maybe increase the fire rate, but implement a cool-down mechanic?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But anyway, I had fun saving those miners.
